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.
Storing food in
the appliance
Preferably freeze large quantities of food
in the top compartments where freezing
is particular quick and therefore also
gentle. Spread food products on the
freezer shelves or in the frozen product
drawers.
Food which is already frozen must not
come into contact with the food which
is to be frozen. If required, move
the frozen food to the freezer drawers.
If fresh food is frozen, the temperature in
the freezer compartment may rise to such
an extent that the temperature display
Fig. 2/1 flashes and the alarm" display
Fig. 2/2 comes on. However, the food
which is already frozen is not at risk of
thawing.
After 24 hours at the latest the set
temperature is reached again.
The ice blocks slow down the thawing
process of the frozen food in the event
of a power failure or malfunction.
Place the ice blocks directly on the food
in the top compartment.
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.
