immediately.
Vegetabks
oUse the vegetable drawers—
they’ve been designed to
preserve the natural moisture
and freshness of produce.
oCovering vegetables with a moist
towel helps maintain crispness.
oAs a further aid to freshness,
prepackagedvegetables can be
stored in their
originalw~”app@.
Cheese
Wrap well with wax paper
or aluminum foil, or put in a
plastic bag.
oCarefully wrap to expel air and
help prevent mold.
oStore prepackaged cheese in its
own wrapping if yoLlwish.

he Cream
Fine-quality ice cream, with high
cream content, will normally
require slightlylower temperatures
than more “airy” already-packaged
brands with low cream content.
● It will be necessary to
experimentto determine the
freezer compartment location and
temperature control settingto keep
your ice cream at the right serving
temperature.
● The rear of the freezer
compartment is slightlycolder than
the front.
Tipson freezingfoods
There are three essential requirements for efficient

3. Proper packaging. Use food wraps designed
especially for freezing.
To freeze meat, fish and poultry, wrap well in
freezer-weight foil (or other heavy-duty Wrapping
material), forming it carefully to the shape of the
contents. This expels air. Fold and crimp ends of the
package to provide a good, lasting seal.
Don’t refreeze meat that has been completely thawed;
meat, whether raw or cooked, can be frozen
successfully only once.
