Useful hints and tips
Tips for freezing
Here is some important advice in order to optimise the freezing process:
•
The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the nameplate.
•
The freezing process lasts 24 hours. Additional food products should not be added during
this period.
•
You should only freeze fresh, perfectly clean, high-quality food products.
•
Prepare small portions so that they can freeze through quickly and so that you have the
option of only defrosting the quantity that you need.
•
Wrap food in aluminium foil or cling film and make sure that the parcels are airtight.
•
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to come into contact with food which is already frozen as
this would increase the temperature of the latter.
•
Food which is low in fat keeps better and for longer periods than fatty foods. Salt reduces
the storage time of food.
•
Ice cubes can cause burns linked to the cold if consumed straight from the freezer
compartment.
•
Frozen food can cause burns linked to the cold if consumed just after they have been removed
from the freezer compartment.
•
It is advisable to make sure that the date is visible on each individual frozen portion so that
its storage time can be monitored.
