USING YOUR FREEZER
Preparations for freezing
â Leave cooked food to cool completely.
â Chill food in a fridge before freezing if possible.
â Consider how you want to cook the food before freezing it.
â Don’t freeze food in metal containers if you may want to microwave
it straight from the freezer.
â Use special freezer bags available from ,mlif rezeerf ,stekramrepus
polythene bags, plastic containers, aluminium foil (heavy grade only,
if in doubt, double wrap). Don’t use aluminium foil for acidic foods
(such as citrus fruits). Don’t use thin cling film or glass. Don’t use
used food containers (unless cleaned thoroughly first).
â Exclude as much air from the container as possible.
You could buy a special vacuum pump which sucks excessive
air out of the packaging.
â Leave a small amount of ‘air space’ when freezing
liquids, to allow for expansion.
â You can use the space in the freezer most
efficiently if you freeze liquids (or solids
with liquids, such as stew) in square
blocks.
This is known as ‘preforming’. Pour the
liquid into a polythene bag which is inside
a square sided container. Freeze it like this,
then remove it from the container and
seal the bag.

Label everything
â Many foods look the same when frozen, so careful labelling will help
avoid forgetting what an item is. Storage times being exceeded could
cause food poisoning.
â You can buy special freezer tape for use in low temperatures.
This tape is available in white, so you can use it to write the items
contents on. You can buy special freezer labels and pens. Labels come
in different colours which can help you use your freezer effectively.
For instance you could colour code meat red and vegetables green.
Using a different colour label for each quarter of the year will help
you rotate your frozen food more efficiently.
â Write the contents and date. If you are really organised add the
weight and notes on cooking such as ‘thaw first’, or ‘cook from
fr
ozen’ and keep a separate ‘log-book’ of what is in each drawer.
This will save opening the door and searching around unnecessarily.
