Freezing and storing

Purchasing frozen foods

Packaging must not be damaged.

Observe the best before date.

The temperature in the commercial

chest freezer must be -18 °C or

colder.

As far as possible, frozen food must

be transported in an insulated

container and quickly placed in the

freezer compartment.

Storing frozen food

If lots of food is to be stored, you can

remove the ice twister and the shelf.
To ensure that there is no impact on the

air circulation in the appliance, do not

stack the food beyond the stacking limit.

Freezing fresh food

Only use fresh, undamaged food for

freezing.
In order to retain the nutritional value,

aroma and colour of the food as much

as possible, blanch vegetables before

they are frozen. Blanching is not required

for aubergines, peppers, courgettes and

asparagus.
You can find literature about freezing and

blanching in bookshops.

Note
Do not allow food that is to be frozen to

sit right next to food that has already

been frozen.

The following are suitable for freezing:

Baked goods, fish and seafood, meat,

game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs,

eggs without their shells, dairy

products such as cheese, butter and

curd cheese, prepared dishes and

leftovers such as soups, stews,

cooked meat and fish, potato dishes,

baked casseroles and sweet foods.

The following are not suitable for

freezing:

Types of vegetables that are usually

eaten raw – such as green salad or

radishes, eggs in their shells, grapes,

whole apples, pears and peaches,

hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured

milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and

mayonnaise.

Packaging frozen food

it from losing its flavour or drying out.
1. Store food in its packaging.
2. Press out any air.
3. Close the packaging tightly.
4. Label packaging with its contents and

date of freezing.
