Freezing and storing
food
Freezing food
Freeze fresh, undamaged food only.
Keep food which is to be frozen away
from food which is already frozen.
To prevent food from losing its flavour
or drying out, place in airtight containers.
Storing frozen food
To ensure good air circulation
in the appliance, insert the freezer
drawers all the way.
If you have to store lots of food,
it is possible to transfer the food
to the glass shelves and stack
it on the base of the freezer base. To do
this, remove all the freezer drawers.
Pull out the freezer drawers all the way,
lift at the front and remove. Fig. 5
Freezing fresh food
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional
value, flavour and colour, vegetables
should be blanched before freezing.
Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and
asparagus do not require blanching.
Literature on freezing and blanching
can be found in bookshops.
Note
Keep food which is to be frozen away
from food which is already frozen.
