unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze

within 24 hours. (No more than 2 to 3 pounds of

food per cubic foot of freezer space.) leave

enough

space

for air to circulate around pack-

ages. Be careful to leave enough room at the

front so the door can close tightly.

Extension Service suggested storage times.

If electricity goes off

Call the power company. Ask how long power

will be off.

1. If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less,

keep both doors closed. This will help frozen

foods to stay frozen.

2. If service is to be interrupted longer than 24

hours:

[a) Remove all frozen food and store in a

frozen food locker. Or...

(b) Place 2 Ibs (0.9 kg] of dry ice in freezer for

every cu. ft of freezer space. This will keep

frozen foods for 2 to 4 days. Wear gloves to

protect your hands from dry ice burns.

[c] If neither food locker storage nor dry ice is

available, use or can perishable food at

once.

3. A full freezer will stay cold longer than a

partly filled one. A freezer full of meat wilt stay

cold longer than a freezer full of baked

goods. If food contains ice crystals, it may

be Safely refrozen, although the quality and

flavor may be affected. Use refrozen foods

quickly. If the condition of the food is poor or

if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it,
