Use of the frozen food storage compartment
The freezer temperature is controlled below -18 ℃, and it is advisable to store the food for long-term preservation in the freezer
compartment, but the storage duration indicated on the food packaging should be adhered to.
The freezer drawers are used to store food that needs to be frozen. Fish and meat of large block size should be cut into small pieces and
packed into fresh-keeping bags before they are evenly distributed inside the freezer drawers.
★ Allow the hot foods to cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the freezer compartment.
★Do not put a glass container with liquid or the canned liquid that is sealed in the freezer compartment, so as to avoid burst due to
volume expansion after the liquid gets frozen up.
★Divide the food into appropriately small portions
★You'd better pack the food up before freezing it, and the packing bag used should be dry, in case the packing bags are frozen together.
Foods should be packed or covered by such suitable materials as are firm, tasteless, impervious to air and water, non-toxic and
pollution-free, to avoid cross-contamination and transfer of odor.
Tips for shopping the frozen foods
1.When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food
for the period shown against the star rating. This is usually the period stated as "Best to use them before×", found on the front of the
packaging.
2.Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy the frozen foods.
3.Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
4.Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
5.Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home, as this will help to keep the food cooler.
6.Don't buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and
hardware shops. These keep the frozen foods cold longer.
7.For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or steam cooked.
Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
8.Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When foods are frozen in small quantities, it will take less than for them to freeze up
and thaw.
9.Estimate the amount of foods to be frozen up. When freezing large amounts of fresh food, adjust the temperature control knob to the
low mode, with the freezer temperature lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast manner, with the food freshness well kept.
