FREEZING & STORING

FROZEN FOODS

The freezer section is designed for storage of

commercially frozen foods and for freezing foods

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 yau close and

seal the paokage must not allow air, maisture or

vapor in or out. Packaging done in any other way

could cause food odor and taste transter through

out the refrigerator and drying ot frozen food.

Rigid polyethylene (plastic) containers with

tightfitting lids, straight-sided oanning/freezing

jars, heavy-duty aluminum foil, plastic-coated pa

per dnd nonpermeable plastic wraps (made from

a saran film) are recommended. NOTE: Heat-

sealed boiling bags are easy to use and can be

used by themseives or as carton iiners.

Sealing - When sealing foods in bags squeeze

out the air (liquids need headspace to allow for

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

securely around the doubled-over tail. Put the

label inside transparent bags; use selt-adhesive

label on outside of opaque ones.

Air-tight wrapping calls for "drugstore" wrap. Cut

the sheet abaut 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 tape

closed. NOTE: With unboned meats, pad sharp

edges with extra wrap or use stockinette to pro

tect the wrap from punctures.

DO NOT USE:

• Bread wrappers

• 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 3

quarts (liters) at a time and drain. Fruit that stands 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 space to

allow liquids to expand during freezing.
