Five freezer friendly tips Enjoy better tasting frozen food that is safe to eat. Try to:
1.Cool first then freeze. Cool cooked food quickly in the fridge in shallow dishes. 2.Avoid freezer burn. Use heavy foil, freezer bags or containers designed for freezing food. Leave just a few centimeters room for expansion with liquids. Squeeze the air out of freezer bags before sealing or wrap foods tightly in foil. 3.Divide up big batches. Freeze 4-6 portions or less in one freezer bag or container and label it with a “use by” date. 4.Freeze it right at -18ºC (0ºF). Use a thermometer to check the temperature. Leave some space between packages for cool air to circulate. Avoid overloading your freezer. 5.First in first out. Use up the oldest items first. Tip: Use a wipe on, wipe off board to jot down what goes in and wipe off what goes out of the freezer. Attach the board to the freezer with a magnet.
