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 with tight

fitting lids, straight-sided canning/freezing jars,

heavy-duty aluminum foil, plastic-coated paper

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 carton liners.

Sealing - When sealing food 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 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 tape

closed. NOTE: With unboned meats, pad sharp

edges with extra wrap or use stockinette to pro-

tect the wrap from punctures.

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. 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 space to

allow liquids to expand during freezing.
