FREEZING & STORING FROZEN
FOODS
The freezer section is designed for storage of com-
mercially frozen foods and for freezing foods at
home
Packaglng - The secret of successful freezing IS in
the packagrng. The wrap you use must be air,
moisture and vapor proof. The way you close and seal
the package must not allow air, moisture or vapor In or
out. Packaging done in any other way could cause
food odor and taste transfer throughout the re-
frigerator and drying of frozen food
Rigid polyethylene [plastic] containers with ttght-
fitttng Irds, straight-sided canning ‘freezlng jars.
heavy-duty aluminum foil, plastrc-coated paper and
non-permeable plastic wraps (such as Saran) are
recommended. Note: Heat-sealed boiling bags are
easy to use and can be used by themselves or as
carton liners
Sealing-When sealing foods in bags squeeze
out the air (Irqurds need headspace to allow for
expansion ) Twist the top and turn It back. Fasten tie
securely around the doubled-over tall. Put the label
Inside transparent bags; use self-adhesive label or
outslde of opaque ones.
Air-tight wrapprng calls for “drugstore” wrap. Cut
the sheet about one-third longer than the distance
around the food Brtng the ends together and fold In
(toward the food) at least twce to seal out air. Crease
ends close to food, press air from package Fold tips
over twice. Finrsh package and tape closed. NOT1
