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 seal
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 29 pounds at a time.

electricity because you can find foods faster.

and condiments+

last longer when stored in closed plastic containers
