Tips for freezing food
•
Allow cooked food to cool completely. Refrigerate food in the refrigerator before freezing
if possible.
•
Think about how you want to cook food before you freeze it.
•
Do not freeze food in metal containers if you plan to microwave it right out of the freezer.
•
Use freezer bags, polyethylene bags, plastic food storage boxes and aluminium foil for
acidic foods (such as citrus fruits).
•
Do not use thin transparent film or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless they
have been properly cleaned beforehand).
•
Remember to exclude as much air as possible from the container. You can buy a special
vacuum pump that sucks excess air out of the packaging.
•
Leave a small amount of air when freezing liquids to allow for expansion.
•
You can use freezer space more efficiently if you freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, such
as stew) in rectangular or square blocks.
Storing frozen food in the freezer compartment
•
Your refrigerator bears the 4-Star logo
frozen food, freezing fresh food and making ice cubes.
•
We recommend waiting for 2 hours after the appliance is switched on before putting fresh
food in the freezer compartment. There is no need to wait if the appliance is already running.
•
Never put hot food in the freezer as this could cause food that is already in the freezer to
go off. Allow it to cool first.
•
When you freeze food such as meat, mince, fish, etc., it is a good idea to divide it into
separate portions that can be consumed in one go.
•
Do not let fresh foods that need to be frozen come into contact with foods that are
already frozen.
•
Never refreeze food that has been defrosted. This is a serious health risk which can cause
food poisoning.
•
When you buy frozen food, make sure it has been frozen properly and that the packaging
is not torn.
•
You must follow the storage instructions on the packaging when putting away frozen
food. If there are no instructions, the food should be consumed as soon as possible.

food storage tips
, signifying that it is capable of storing
•
Frozen food must be transported in appropriate packaging to preserve its quality and put
in the freezer as soon as possible. When shopping, always buy frozen products last, just
before you check out. You can get isothermal bags in the freezer department. These keep
frozen foods cold for longer.
•
If the frozen food packaging is damp or smells bad, the food inside may not have been
stored properly. Throw it out!
•
The length of time frozen food will keep depends on the ambient temperature, how many
times the freezer door is opened and shut, the temperature setting, the type of food
and the time between buying the food and putting it in the freezer. Always follow the
instructions on the packaging and never exceed the use by date.
