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.

Freezing and storing
food
Purchasing deep frozen
food
S Check that the packaging is not
damaged.
S Check the sell by date.
S The temperature of the supermarket
freezer should be -18 °C or lower. If not,
the storage life of the food is reduced.
S If possible, transport deep frozen food
in an insulated bag and place quickly in
the freezer compartment.
Arranging food in the
appliance
Freeze large quantities of food preferably
in the fast freeze compartment where the
food is frozen particularly quickly and
therefore also gently. If a great deal of
food is to be placed in the freezer
compartment, the ice maker can be
removed. Fig.9
Food which is already frozen must not
come into contact with food which is to be
frozen.
Storing frozen food
To prevent poor air circulation in the
appliance, do not stack food above the
stacking limit (not all models).
