Tips for shopping for frozen food
1. When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines
on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food
for the period shown against the star rating. This is usually the period
stated as “Best before”, found on the front of the packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where
you buy frozen food.
3. Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to
the supermarket.
5. Try to keep frozen items together whilst shopping and on the journey
home, as this will help to keep the food cooler.
6. Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special
insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware
shops. These keep the frozen foods cold longer.
7. For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables
and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or steamed. Frozen
sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently
until thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When food is
frozen in small quantities, it will take less time for it to freeze and thaw.
9. Estimate the amount of food that needs to be frozen. When freezing
large amounts of fresh food, adjust the temperature control knob to
the low mode to lower the freezer temperature so, food can be frozen
quickly and retain its freshness.
