Tips on freezing
o
Freezer bags, polythene wraps, aluminium foil (extra thick) and
special cans for frozen foods are suitable packaging for storing
frozen goods in.
o
Tape, rubber bands or plastic clips are
suitable for sealing bags and wrappings.

o
Before sealing a suitable bag, you should
compress the air out of it, as this will help
the food to freeze more easily.
o
Flat packages freeze more easily.
o
If you are freezing liquid, then do not fill the
container to the brim. Liquids will expand
when being frozen.
o
Do not place bottles (glass or tin)
containing liquids (especially sparkling
liquids) into the freezer as they could
cause the bottle to burst during
freezing.
Storing commercially frozen food
o
The storage time and recommended temperature for storing
commercially frozen foods are indicated on the packaging.
o
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for storage and
use of frozen food.
o
When shopping, be careful to choose food which is adequately
packed and is provided with complete storage instructions. It
should have been stored in a freezer where the temperature
does not rise above -18°C.
o
Do not buy packages of food that are covered with frost. This
could indicate that the package has thawed at least once before.
o
Take care that your frozen food packages do not start to thaw
before you place them in your freezer. This will shorten the
length of time that you can safely store the food for.
