Defrosting; Recommended Storage Periods - Summit FDRD15SS Instruction Manual

-
Consider how you want to cook the food before freezing it.
-
Don't freeze food in metal containers as you may want to microwave it straight from the Freezer.
-
Use special Freezer bags available from supermarkets, freezer wrap, plastic bags and containers, and aluminum foil
for acidic foods (such as citrus fruits). Do not use thin cling wrap or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless
cleaned thoroughly first).
-
Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump which sucks excessive
air out of the packaging.
Leave a small amount of "air space" when freezing liquids, to allow for expansion.
-
-
You can use the space in the Freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, such as stew) in
square blocks. This is known as "pre-forming" Pour the liquid into a plastic bag which is inside a square-sided
container. Freeze it like this, then remove it from the container and seal the bag.
