Freezlng Vegetables
- Freeze only fresh high-
quality
vegetables
picked
when
barely
mature.
For best results, freeze
no more than 2 to 3 hours
after picking.
Wash in cold water, sort and cut into
appropriate
sizes. Blanch or scald. Pack in recom-
mended
container
and freeze.
Do not freeze
lettuce,
celery,
carrot
sticks,
potatoes
or fresh tomatoes.
All will become
limp or
mushy. Tomatoes
will collapse
when thawed.
Freezlng Meats -
The meat you thaw can only
be as good
as the meat
you freeze. "Drugstore"
wrap
in meal-size
packages.
Flat cuts or patties
should be wrapped
individually
or in layers sepa-
rated by a double
thickness
of freezer wrap.
Make
sure store wrappings
are moisture
and
vapor
proof. If not, re-wrap
meats with one of the
wraps
recommended
under "Packaging!'
Freezlng Cooked Food-Prepare
cooked
foods
as you would for the table; shorten cooking
time 10
to 15 minutes to allow
for additional
cooking
dur-
ing reheating.
Omit seasonings
and part of the liq-
uid. Plan to add them at reheating
time. Potatoes
should also be added
to soup and stew at heating
time. Add crumb
and cheese
toppings
at heating
time.
Cool as rapidly
as possible
and freeze at once.
Liquid or semi-liquid
dishes may be frozen in rec-
ommended
containers
with head-space.
Cas-
seroles and other more solid foods may be frozen
in the baking
container.
If you don't want to leave
your casserole
dish in the freezer, line it with foil.
Bake, cool, freeze, lift out the foil package,
bag
it
and return to freezer.

recommended
