Maximum freezing capacity

To ensure that fresh food placed in the

freezer freezes through to the core as

quickly as possible, the maximum

freezing capacity must not be

exceeded. The maximum freezing

capacity for freezing within a 24-hour

period is given on the data plate:

"Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs".

The maximum freezing capacity given

on the data plate has been calculated

according to DIN EN ISO 15502 Stan

Freezing fresh food

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly

as possible. This way the nutritional

value of the food, its vitamin content,

appearance and taste are not impaired.

Food which takes a long time to freeze

will lose more water from its cells, which

then shrink.

During the defrosting process, only

some of this water is reabsorbed by the

cells; the rest collects around the food.

If food is frozen quickly, the cells have

less time to lose moisture, so they

shrink less. As there is not so much

moisture loss, it is easier for the food to

reabsorb it during the defrosting

process, and very little water collects

around the defrosted food.

Storing frozen food

When buying frozen food to store in

your freezer section, 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 cool box to transport it.

^ Place it in the freezer as soon as

possible.

Never refreeze partially or fully

defrosted food. 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 refrozen after it has been

cooked.
