Freezer - Tips For Freezing Food

Below is a list of suggestions for effective home freezing:

 

• Freeze only top quality foods. Freezing will retain quality and flavor but it will not improve quality.

• Freeze with speed. The quicker you freeze fruits and vegetables after picking or purchase, the better the frozen product will be.

• Use proper packaging. Use food wraps that are designed especially for freezing. Always remove store wrapping and wrap items well in freezer-weight foil or freezer paper, forming it carefully to the shape of the contents. This expels the air from the packaging. Fold and crimp the ends of the package to provide a good, lasting seal.
