The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24-hour period is given on the data plate "Freezing capacity . . . . kg/24 hrs". Home freezing Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition. Hints on home freezing ­ The following types of food are suitable for freezing: Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals. ­ The following types of food are not suitable for freezing: Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears. ­ To retain colour, taste and vitamin C, vegetables should be blanched after they have been trimmed and washed. To blanch: bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, immerse the vegetables in the fast boiling water for 2-3 minutes, depending on variety. ­ Lean meat freezes better than fatty meat, and can be stored for considerably longer. ­ To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or rolled meat from freezing together in solid blocks when packed, separate with a sheet of plastic freezer film. Storing frozen food When buying frozen food to store in your freezer, check ­ that the packaging is not damaged, ­ the use by date, ­ the temperature at which the frozen food is being stored in the shop. The length of time it can be kept is reduced if it has been stored at a temperature warmer than -18 °C. ^ Buy frozen food once you have finished the rest of your shopping, and wrap it in newspaper or use a cool bag or box to transport it. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked. 26 Freezing and storing food ­ Do not season fresh foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. Only season cooked food lightly before freezing but care should be taken as the taste of some spices alters when frozen. This causes already frozen food to thaw, and increases the energy consumption considerably. Allow hot foods and drinks to cool down before placing them in the freezer. Unsuitable packing material - wrapping paper - grease-proof paper - cellophane - bin bags - plastic carrier bags Suitable packing material - plastic freezer film - freezer bags - aluminium foil - freezer containers ^ Expel as much air as possible from bags etc. ^ Close the packaging tightly with - rubber bands - plastic clips - string or bag ties - freezer tape. ^ Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging.
