Freezing and storing food
92
- Placing hot food or drink in the
freezer causes food that is already
frozen to partially thaw and increases
energy consumption. Allow hot food
and drink to cool down before plac-
ing it in the freezer.
Packaging food for freezing
Freeze food in portions.
–Suitable packaging
- Plastic films
- Freezer bags
- Aluminum foil
- Freezer containers
–Unsuitable packaging
- Packing paper
- Parchment paper
- Cellophane
- Garbage bags
- Plastic shopping bags
Remove as much air as possible from
the packaging before sealing.
Close the packaging tightly with
- rubber bands,
- bag clips,
- string or bag ties, or
- freezer tape.
Tip: Freezer bags and poly tubing may
also be sealed using home heat sealing
kits.
Label the packaging with the con-
tents and the date of freezing.
Before placing food in the
freezer
When freezing more than 4.4lb (2kg)
of fresh food, switch on the Super-
Frost function some time before plac-
ing the food in the freezer (see “Su-
perFrost”).
This helps food which is already stored
in the freezer to stay frozen.
Placing food in the freezer
Food to be frozen can be placed any-
where in the freezer zone. Preferably
freeze food in the top freezer basket, as
this is the best location for quick and
gentle freezing.
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the basket so that it freezes through
to the core as quickly as possible.
Ensure that the packaging and con-
tainers are dry to prevent them from
freezing together or to the walls.
Slide the freezer baskets in as far as
they will go.
Please follow the guidelines in the ta-
ble below regarding recommended
weights for the baskets:
