Tips for shopping for frozen food
• When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will
be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the star rating. This is
usually the period stated as "Best before", found on the front of the packaging.
• Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy frozen food.
• Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
• Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to
the supermarket.
• Try to keep frozen items together whilst shopping and on the journey home, as this will help
to keep the food cooler.
• Don't buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can
be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep the frozen foods cold
longer.
• For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added
directly to boiling water or steamed. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan
and heated gently
until thawed.
• Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When food is frozen in small quantities, it
will take less time for it to freeze and thaw.
• Estimate the amount of food that needs to be frozen. When freezing large amounts of fresh
food, adjust the temperature control knob to the low mode to lower the freezer temperature
so, food can be frozen quickly and retain its freshness.
