TIPS
ON FREEZING
FOODS
There are three essential requirements fo
efficient home freezing. First, of course, i:
initial quality. Only top-quality
food!
should be frozen. Freezing retains qualit!
and flavor; it cannot improve quality. Sec
ond is speed. The quicker fruits and veg
embles are frozen after picking, the bette]
the frozen product will be. You'll save time
too, because less culling and sorting will bt
necessary. The third requirement
is
propel
packaging. Use food wraps designed espe"
cially for freezing; they're readily available
in a wide selection at your favorite store.
Limit freezing of fresh (unfrozen) meats 01
seafoods to 14 pounds at a time.
To FREEZE
MEAT,
H~H
AND POULTRY
Wrap well in freezer-weight foil (or other
heavy-duty wrapping material), forming it
~arefuiIy to the shape of the contents. This
wpels air. Fold and crimp ends of the pack-
k
~e to provide a good, lasting seal. Don't
freeze meat that has completely thawed;
neat, whether raw or cooked, can be frozen
uccessfuily only once.

colder than the front.

vary. Always remove store wrapping from
meats, fish and poultry, Rewrap in foil, film
or wax paper and refrigerate immediately.
cheese

paper, aluminum foil or placed in a plastic
bag. Carefully wrap to expel air and pre
vent mold. Packaged cheese can be store(
in its own wrapping.
Vegetables
Fruit and vegetable crispers have been spc
cially designed to preserve natural mois
ture and freshness. Crispness can be main
tained by covering vegetables with a moi:
towel. As a further aid to freshness, it i
suggested that pre-packaged vegetables b
stored in their original wrapping.

ommended
