Storing frozen food
The freezer section is designed for storage
of commercially frozen food and for freezing
food at home.
NOTE: For further information about prepar-
ing food for freezing or food storage times,
check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
Packaging
The secret to successful freezing is in the
packaging. The way you close and seal the
package must not allow air or moisture in or
out. Packaging done in any other way could
cause food odor and taste transfer through-
out the refrigerator and drying of frozen food.
Packaging recommended for use:
l
Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
l
Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
l
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
l
Plastic-coated paper
l
Non-permeable plastic wraps (made from
Saran film)
Follow package or container instructions for
proper freezing methods.
Do not use:
l
Bread wrappers
l
Non-polyethylene plastic containers
l
Containers without tight lids
l
Wax paper
l
Wax-coated freezer wrap
l
Thin, semi-permeable wrap
The use of these wrappings could cause
food odor, taste transfer, and drying of
frozen food.
