Home freezing
Only freeze fresh food which is in a
good condition.
Tips on home freezing
–
The following types of food are
suitable for freezing:
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,
vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy
products, pastry, leftovers, egg
yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-
cooked meals.
–
The following types of food are not
suitable for freezing:
Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour
cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their
shells, onions, whole raw apples and
pears.
– To retain colour, taste, aroma and
vitamin C, vegetables should be
blanched after they have been
trimmed and washed. To blanch:
bring a large saucepan of water to
the boil, immerse the vegetables in
the fast boiling water for2-3
minutes, depending on variety.
Remove, and plunge into ice-cold
water to cool quickly. Drain and pack
ready for freezing.
–
Lean meat freezes better than fatty
meat, and can be stored for
considerably longer.
–
To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or
rolled meat from freezing together in
solid blocks when packed, separate
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.
–
Do not season fresh foods or
blanched vegetables before
freezing. Only season cooked food
lightly before freezing, but care
should be taken as the taste of some
spices alters when frozen.
–
Do not place hot foods or drinks in
the freezer. This causes already
frozen food to thaw, and increases
the energy consumption
considerably. Allow hot foods and
drinks to cool down before placing
them in the freezer.
Packing
^
Freeze food in portions.
Unsuitable packing material
- wrapping paper
- grease-proof paper
- cellophane

- plastic carrier bags
Suitable packing material

^
Expel as much air as possible from
bags etc. before sealing them to
prevent freezer burn on food.
^

Freezer bags may also be sealed
using home heat sealing kits.
