Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding
a rise in temperature of the latter.

Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food;

Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment,
can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.
