Freezing food yourself
If you wish to freeze food yourself, use
only fresh, undamaged food.
The following foods are suitable for
freezing:
Meat and sausage products, poultry and
game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fruit, cakes
and pastries, pizza, ready meals,
leftovers, egg yolk and egg white.
The following foods are NOT suitable
for freezing:
Eggs in shells, soured cream and
mayonnaise, green salads, radishes and
onions.
Blanching vegetables and fruit
To retain colour, flavour, aroma and
vitamin C, vegetables and fruits should be
blanched prior to freezing. (Blanching is
the brief immersion of vegetables and fruit
in boiling water - literature on freezing and
blanching is available in bookshops).
Wrapping food
Pack food in suitable portions for your
household. Vegetables and fruit portions
must NOT be heavier than 1 kg; meat
portions must NOT be heavier than 2.5
kg. Smaller portions freeze quicker and
maximum quality is retained during
thawing and preparation.
To prevent the flavour from escaping,
wrap the food in airtight containers.
