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.

Wash in cold water, sort and cut into appropriate sizes. Blanch or scald. Pack in recommended container and freeze. Do not freeze lettuce, celery, carrot sticks, potatoes or fresh tomatoes. All will become limp or mushy. Tomatoes will collapse when thawed.
