There are three essentiirl r equirements for
efficierrt home freezing.
First. of course, is initial qualily. only lop-
quali[y foods should be frozen.
Freezing re-
tains qutility and flavor; it cannel improve
quality.
Second is speed. The quicker
f;uits and
vegetables are frozen af[er picking, [he be[-
[er (he frozen product will be. You'll sirve
time, IOO, becmrse less culling
and sorting
willbe necessary.
The third requirement is proper packaging.
Use food wraps designed
especially
for
freezing: Ihey're readily available in a wide
seleclion
al
your favori[e slore
QUICK-FREEZING
Freezing is
fast and efficient throughou[
the freezer,but quickemon the top sbelf–
especially with control
dial m a number
higher than 1 (the coldest setting is 9).
If you plan to quick-freeze large amounts
of food. turn the tempermurc
conmol
dial
to No. 9 several hours before [ood will be
ready to be placed in the freezer.
Never freeze more than three pounds of
food per cubic foot of freezer capacity at
one time.
TO'FREEZE MEAT,
FISH AND POULTRY
Wmp well in freezer-weight
foil (or olher
heavy-duty wrapping material), forming it
carefully to the shape of the contents. This
expelsair.
Foldand crimp endsof tbe pack-
age to provide a good, lasting
seal. Don't,
meat, whetherrawor'corrked.~n
