GUIDE TO FOOD STORAGE

Freezing fruit

Select ripe, blemish-free fruit. Clean, peel and slice as needed.

Pack in rigid containers or other recommended material. Leave

some head space to allow liquid to expand during freezing.

Freezing vegetables

For best results freeze no more than 2 to 3 hours after picking.

Wash in cold water, clean and cut as needed. Blanch. Pack in

recommended containers and freeze.

Do not freeze lettuce, celery, carrot sticks, potatoes, or fresh

tomatoes. All will become limp or mushy. Tomatoes will

collapse when thawed.

Freezing meat

Thawed meat will be as good as before freezing.

Steaks or flat cuts should be wrapped individually or in layers

separated by a double sheet of freezer wrap.

Freezing cooked food

Cook your food as you would for the table: shorten the cooking

time 10 to 15 minutes to allow for additional cooking during

reheating. Do not season and remove part of the cooking

liquid. Remember to add them when reheating.

Cool as rapidly as possible and freeze at once.

Liquid or semi-liquid dishes must be frozen in recommended

containers leaving some head space to allow for expansion.

Casseroles and other more solid food can be frozen in oven

proof containers.

Freezing pastry and bread

Wrap bread in recommended material. Thaw inside the

wrapping. Unbaked yeast bread can be frozen after the first

rising. Punch down, wrap, and freeze.

Bake cookies and pastry as usual. Cool and freeze on trays, then

pack in recommended freezer bags or cartons. Unbaked cookies

and pastry may be dropped, moulded, or rolled and frozen on

trays. Store in bags or cartons. Bake without thawing.

Fruit pies are best frozen unbaked. Bake without thawing.
