Freezing fresh food
o
To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food
specified above, you should set the freezer to fast
freeze mode (see page 13), 24 hours prior to
attempting freezing.
o
To freeze smaller quantities of fresh food, you
should set the freezer to fast freeze mode a few
hours prior to attempting freezing.
o
Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers
or packaging. This will help to make sure that the
food doesn’t dry out or lose its flavour. It will also
ensure that flavour does not transfer from other
foods.
o
Do not allow fresh food to touch items that are
already frozen.
o
After 24 hours you should check that the fresh food
is satisfactorily frozen. If it is then you should
return the appliance to normal temperature
settings.
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 this could
cause the bottle to burst during freezing.
