Helpful hints and tips

• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
• onIy freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen
and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen,
thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter;

can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
