Freezing fresh food

Freezing food yourself

If you are freezing 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.
Packing the food
Pack the food in separate portions which
suit the day to day needs of your
household. Divide vegetables and fruit
into portions no heavier than 1 kg and
meat into portions up to 2.5 kg. Smaller
portions freeze more quickly and retain
their quality better during defrosting and
cooking.
To retain the flavour and prevent the food
from drying out, wrap the food airtight.
Suitable for packing are:
plastic film, polythene tube film,
aluminium foil and freezer tins. These
products can be bought at a specialist
outlet.
Unsuitable are:
wrapping paper, greaseproof paper,
cellophane, refuse bags and used
shopping bags.
Place the food in the wrapping, squeeze
out all air and seal the wrapping well.
Suitable for sealing are:
elastic bands, plastic clips, string,
cold resistant tape or such like. Bags and
tube film of polythene may be sealed with
a film sealer.
Before placing the food in the freezer
compartment, mark each freezer packet
with the contents and the date on which it
was inserted.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool to room
temperature before placing them in the
freezer compartment.
