Freeze food in small quantities, it freezes faster, takes
less time to thaw and enables you to eat it in the
quantity you need.

Freezing fresh foods

First,  estimate  the  amount  of  food  you  will  be
freezing.  If  you  are  freezing  large  amounts  of  fresh
food, remember to turn the control dial to Max. This
will  lower  the  temperature  in  the  Freezer  (approx  -
30

℃

), freezing your food quicker and helping to keep

the goodness in. However you should do this
sparingly to conserve energy.

Preparations for freezing

·Leave cooked food to cool completely.
·Chill food in a Fridge before freezing if possible.
·Consider how you want to cook the food before
freezing it.

·Don’t freeze food in metal containers as you may

want to microwave it straight from the Freezer.
·Use special Freezer bags available from supermarkets,
Freezer  film,  polythene  bags,  plastic  containers,
aluminum foil for acidic foods(such as citrus fruits).
Do  not  use  thin  cling  film  or  glass.  Do  not  use  used
food containers (unless cleaned thoroughly first).
·Exclude  as  much  air  from  the  container  as  possible.
You  could  buy  a  special  vacuum  pump  which  sucks
excessive air out of the packaging.

·Leave a small amount of “air space” when freezing

liquids, to allow for expansion.
·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 “performing” 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.
