STORING FROZEN FOOD

The freezer section is designed for storage of

commercially frozen food and for freezing food at

home.

Packaging -The secret of successful freezing is

in the packaging. 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 through-

out the refrigerator and drying of frozen food

Rigid polyethylene (plastic) containers withiight

fitting lids, straight-sided canning/freezing jars

heavy-duty aluminum foil, plastic-coated pape;

and nonpermeable plastic wraps (made from a

Saran film) are recommended.

NOTE: Heat-

sealed

boiling bags

are easy to use and can be

used by themselves or as cation liners

Sealing - When sealing food in bags

&ueeze

Out the air (liquids need headspace td allow for

expansion). Twist the top and turn it back. Fasten

tie se?.Ir$y around the doubled-over tail Put the

label inside transparent bags; use self-adhesive

label on outside of opaque ones,

Air-tight wrapping calls for “drugstore” wrap. Cut

the sheet about one-third longer than the distance

around the food. Bring the ends together and fold

in (toward the food) at least twice to seal out air

Crease ends close to food, press air from package’

Fold tips over twice. Finish package and tap&

closed.

NOTE: With unboned meats, pad sharp

edges

witi

extra

wrap or use stockinette to pro-

tect the

wrap from punctures.

I DO NOT USE:

Bread wrappets

Non-polyethylene plastic containers

Containers without tight lids

Waxed paper

. Waxed-coated freezer wrap

Thin, semi-permeable wrap

None of these are totally moisture, air or vapor

proof. The use of these wrappings could

cause food odor and taste transfer and dry-

Ing of frozen food.

Freezing Fruits - Select ripe, blemish-free fruits

Be sure they taste as good as they look. Wash 2 to j

quarts (titers) at a time and drain. Fruitthatstands in

water may lose food value and become soggy,

Sort, peel, trim, pit and slice as needed.

Pack in rigid wide-mouthed containers or other

recommended material. Leave head

allow liquids to expand during freezing.
