Storage time for frozen food

The storage life of food is very variable,
even at a constant temperature of
-18 °C. Decomposition processes also
take place in frozen food, albeit at a
very reduced speed. For example, fat
can become rancid from contact with
oxygen in the air. This is why lean meat
can be stored approx. twice as long as
fatty meat.
The storage times quoted are guide
values for the storage life of different
food groups in the freezer zone.

Most vegetables can be cooked while

water or hot fat. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh
vegetables due to changes in the cell
