Tips for freezing fresh food
When freezing fresh food, follow these tips for better results: . Only freeze fresh, prime-quality food. l Avoid placing fresh food next to frozen food. Wrap fresh food in aluminum foil, coated l freezer paper, or sturdy plastic containers with tight-fitting lids. When the air is removed from the container, the food will not dry out. . Prepare foods in small portions. This will help with uniform freezing. l Do not place hot food in the freezer.
Go ahead and load up your freezer, but leave room around the food for the cold air to circulate. Your freezer has 4 wire storage baskets to help you organize the food. NOTE: Do not add more than 9.9 pounds of unfrozen (fresh) food in a 24 hour period. To load your freezer: 1. Remove the storage baskets. 2. Arrange the food in the baskets. Avoid overloading the baskets. Leave about s/einch between the top of the food and the top of the storage basket. This allows for proper air circulation. 3. Replace the baskets. NOTE: Keep the door dosed while filling the storage baskets. This will help save energy.
