Tips on Freezing Foods
(continued)
To freeze meat, fish and poultry, wrap well in
freezer-weight foil (or other heavy-duty wrapping
material) forming it carefully to the shape of the
contents. This expels air. Fold and crimp ends of
the package to provide a good, lasting seat.
Don't refreeze meat that has completely thawed;
meat, whether raw or cooked, can be frozen
successfully only once.
Limit freezing of fresh (unfrozen) meats or seafoods
to 26 pounds at a time,
For Convenience...
e Store like things together. This saves both time and
electricity because you can find foods faster.
o Place the oldest items up front so they can be used
up promptly.
o Use shelves on the door for most often used sauces
and condiments°
o Use the meat drawer for meats "youdo not freeze.
To Save Money in Energy and Food Costs
• Place most perishable items, such as milk, cream
or cottage cheese, toward the rear of the top shelf.
They will stay coldest in this part of the fresh food
compartment°
• Cover moist foods with tight lids, plastic film or foil.
• Leaf vegetables and fruits placed in drawers will
last longer when stored in closed plastic containers
or wrapped in plastic film.
e Do not overload your fresh food or freezer
compartment with a tot of warm food at one time.
o Open the door the fewest times possible to save
electrical energy.
o When going out of town for several days, leave
as few perishables as possible in the refrigerator.
Move the icemaker feeler arm to the OFF (up)
position and shut off water to the refrigerator.

in door bins on your fresh food door_ Items such as
salad dressings, steak sauces and other condiments
can now be kept securely against the door liner to

middle finger on either
side of the divider near
the front and simply
