–

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.

–

Do not place hot foods or drinks in

the freezer. This causes already

frozen food to thaw, and increases

the energy consumption

considerably. Allow hot food and

drinks to cool down before placing

them in the freezer.

Packing

^ Freeze food in portions.

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. before sealing them, to

prevent freezer burn on food.

^

Close the packaging tightly with

- rubber bands

- plastic clips

- string or bag ties

- freezer tape.

Freezer bags may also be sealed

using home heat-sealing kits.

^

Make a note of the contents and the

date of freezing on the packaging.

Before placing food in the freezer

compartment

^

When freezing more than 2 kg of

fresh food, switch on the winter

setting for some time before placing

the food in the freezer compartment

(see "Winter setting").

Placing food in the freezer

compartment

^

Place the food flat on the bottom of

the freezer compartment so that it

freezes through to the core as quickly

as possible.

^ Make sure that the packaging and

containers are dry to prevent them

sticking together when frozen.

When freezing, make sure that food

already frozen does not come into

contact with fresh food being frozen

as this could cause the frozen food

to begin to defrost.

Defrosting

Frozen food can be defrosted in

different ways:

–

in a microwave oven,

–

in an oven using the "Fan" or "Defrost"

setting,

–

at room temperature,

–

in a refrigerator,

–

in a steam oven.
