TREEZING & STORING TROZEN FOODS

The freezer section is designed for storage of :ommercially frozen foods and for freezing foods It home. Packaglng - The secret of successful freezing is n the packaging. The wrap you use must be air, noisture and vapor proof. The way you close and �eal the package must not allow air, moisture or �apor in or out. Packaging done in any other way :ould cause food odor and taste transfer through1u-t the refrigerator and drying of frozen food. Rigid polyethylene (plastic) containers with ightfitting lids, straight-sided canning/freezing 36 heavy-duty aluminum foil, plastic-coated paEr and nonpermeable plastic wraps (made from I Saran film] are recommended. NOTE: Heat#ealed bolllng bags are easy to use and can be lsed by themselves or as carton Ilners. Sealing - When sealing foods in bags squeeze NI?the air (liquids need headspace to allow for !xpansion). Twist the top and turn it back. Fasten tie ecurely around the doubled-over tail. Put the lbel inside transparent bags; use self-adhesive Dbel on outside of opaque ones.

DO NOT USE: l Bread wrappers l Non-polyethylene plastic containers l Containers without tight lids Waxed paper l 0 Waxed-coated treezer wrap l Thin, semi-permeable wrap None of these are totally moisture, air or vapor proof. The use of these wrapplngs could cause food odor and taste tmnster and dryIna ot frozen food.

Air-tight wrapping calls for �drugstore� wrap. Cut he sheet about one-third longerthan the distance Iround the food. Bring the ends together and fold n (toward the food) at least twice to seal out air. Zrease ends close to food, press air from package. :old tips over twice. Finish package and tape :losed. NOTE: Wlth unboned meats, pad sharp edges with extm wmp or use stockinette to pro�ect the wrap tram punctures.
