FROZEN PRODUCTS / FROZEN PRODUCTS
Your household appliance allows you to freeze food, it quickly lowers the temperature to the core
and you can thus keep it longer. Freezing is a faster and more intense industrial process than home
freezing. The products that you buy in the trade are frozen.
PREPARING FOODS FOR FREEZING
Caution: Freezing does not sterilize. It is therefore important that you prepare your food for
freezing by respecting a few simple rules of hygiene. Wash your hands before touching food,
clean used kitchen utensils before using them again.
Only freeze fresh, quality food. Refer to the "Food Freezing Guide" table to find out which products
you can freeze and how long you can keep them. Blanch fruits and vegetables before freezing so
that they retain color, aroma, taste and vitamins, Immerse them for a few moments in boiling water.
Divide the food you want to freeze into small individual portions corresponding to a meal. Small
portions are quickly frozen to the core. Pack the food tightly to prevent it from losing its flavor or dry
out. Use plastic bags, polyethylene film, aluminum foil or containers suitable for freezing. If you use
plastic bags, squeeze the air before sealing them. hermetically.
Note on each package:
▪
The freezing date.
▪
The expiry date.
▪
The type of food contained.
▪
The number of servings contained.
If you buy frozen foods, take them last when shopping. Check carefully:
▪
That their packaging is not damaged
▪
That they are not covered with a layer of frost (this would mean that they have been partially
thawed). Pack them in an insulated bag or in newspaper, transport them quickly, put them
away immediately. Respect the expiry date indicated on their packaging. Your appliance is
equipped with a freezer compartment ****, it allows you to keep frozen products in an optimal
way.
FOOD STORAGE
Do not put fresh foods next to those that are already frozen in order to avoid causing an increase in
the temperature of the latter.
Information: the maximum weight of food that you can freeze per 24 hours is indicated on
the identification plate (located inside the freezer section of your appliance, on the left wall
at the bottom) under the name: "FREEZING CAPACITY / FREEZING CAPACITY (kg/24h)".
DEFROST FOOD
You can defrost food in five different ways:
▪
By putting them in the freezer section of your appliance for several hours.
▪
By letting them thaw gently at room temperature.
▪
In a traditional oven at very low temperature (40/50°C).
▪
In the microwave.
▪
By cooking them directly. Thawing in the freezer is the slowest but safest method.
