placing liquid or semi-liquid foods
in containers, leaveabout 1/2”at
top (1-1/2”for glass containers)to
allowfor expansionduring freezing.
8. Freezecorrect quantities.
There is an established maximum
of food your freezer isdesigned to
freezeatone time—approximately
3 pounds per cubic foot of freezer
capacity. In normal position, your
freezer’s control dial will maintain
sufficiently low temperatures in the
freezer to freeze recommended
quantities of food.
If you have a large quantity of food
to-freeze,store part of it in your
refrigerator’sfreshfoodcompartment
until the first quantity is frozen.
9. Freeze foods quickly.
Continually rotate frozen foods to
the front of the freezerso the longestfrozen foods are used first.
10.Storefoods
Commercially frozen food can be
storedanyplace inthefreezer.These
foods should not be allowed to thaw
before being placed in the freezer.
