Important

The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, 

basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, 

onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes 

and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a 

long period of time. Therefore, add small amounts of spices to 

food to be frozen, or the desired spice should be added after 

the food has thawed 

The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil 

used. Suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter. 

Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups/

tupperware and other food should be frozen in plastic folios 

or bags.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most 

efficient way to store the major food groups in your freezer 

compartment.
