Freezing fresh food
o Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers
or packaging. This will help to make sure that the
food doesn't dry out or lose its flavour. It will also
ensure that flavour does not transfer from other
foods.
o After 24 hours you should check that the fresh food is
satisfactorily frozen. If it is then the thermostat dial should be
turned down to its normal setting (between <2> and <4>).
Tips on freezing
o Freezer bags, polythene wraps, aluminium foil (extra thick) and
special cans for frozen foods are suitable packaging for storing
frozen goods in.
o Tape, rubber bands or plastic clips are
suitable for sealing bags and wrappings.
o Before sealing a suitable bag, you should
compress the air out of it, as this will help
the food to freeze more easily.
o Flat packages freeze more easily.
o To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food
specified above, you should turn the
thermostat dial to position <6>, 3 hours prior
to attempting freezing.
o For smaller quantities of fresh food, you
should turn the thermostat dial to position
<6>, approximately 1 hour prior to
attempting freezing.
o The food should be placed on the freezer
compartment's base. Do not allow fresh
food to touch items that are already
frozen.
