Food Storage Suggestions
Tips on Freezing Foods
{continued)
To freeze meat, fish and poultry, wrap well in
freezer-weight foil (or other heavy-duty wrapping
materfal) forming it carefully to the shape of the
contents. This expels air. Fold and crimp ends of the
package to provide
a good, lasting seal.
Don't refreeze meat that has completely thawed;
meat, whether raw or cooked, can be frozen
successfully only once.
Limit freezing of fresh (unfrozen) meats or seafoods
to 29 pounds at a time.
For Convenience...
® store like things together. This saves both time and
electricity because you can find foods foster.
® Place the oldest items up front so they can be used
up promptly.

sauces and condiments.

for meats you do not freeze.
