the internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.

Shut the door!

To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When

retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door.

Only open the door to put food in or take it out.

Tips for shopping for frozen foods

Your Freezer is 4 star

When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging.

You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4

star rating. This is usually the period stated as “Best, Before”, found on the front of the

packaging.

Check the Fridge/Freezer temperature. Check the temperature of the frozen food

cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen foods. It should show a temperature lower

than -18°C.

Choose packs carefully. Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect

condition.

Purchase frozen food last. Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip

or visit to the supermarket.

Keep frozen foods together. Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping, and

on the journey home as this will help to keep the food cooler.

Store food straight away. Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight

away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware

shops. These keep frozen food cold for longer.

Thawing frozen food

For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can

be added directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put

into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.

Freezing fresh foods, useful tips

Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities,

it freezes faster, takes less time to thaw and enables you to eat it in the quantity you

need.

Freezing fresh foods

First, estimate the amount of food you will be freezing. If you are freezing large

amounts of fresh food, remember to turn the control dial to Max. This will lower the

temperature in the Freezer (approx -30°C), freezing your food quicker and helping to

keep the goodness in. However you should do this sparingly to conserve energy.

Preparations for freezing

• Leave cooked food to cool completely.

• Chill food in a Fridge before freezing if possible.

• Consider how you want to cook the food before freezing it.

• Don’t freeze food in metal containers as you may want to microwave it straight from

the Freezer.

• Use special Freezer bags available from supermarkets, Freezer film, polythene bags,

plastic containers, aluminum foil for acidic foods(such as citrus fruits).

• Do not use thin cling film or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless cleaned

thoroughly first).

• Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum

pump which sucks excessive air out of the packaging.

• Leave a small amount of “air space” when freezing liquids, to allow for expansion.

• You can use the space in the Freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids(or solids

with liquids, such as stew) in square blocks. This is known as “performing” Pour the

liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it like this,

then remove it from the container and seal the bag.

Defrosting

After a period of time frost will build up in certain areas in the Fridge/Freezer

compartment. After a period of time frost will build up in certain areas in the Fridge/

Freezer compartment. As a temporary measure, this frost should be scraped away using

a plastic scraper.

NEVER use a metal or sharp instrument!

• Complete defrosting will however become necessary approximately once per year, or

if the frost layer exceeds 5mm to maintain the efficiency of the Fridge/Freezer. This

should be carried out if the frost build-up cannot be scraped away, or if it begins to

interfere with the food storage. Chose a time when the stock of frozen food is low and

proceed as follow:

• Take out the frozen food, turn the Fridge/Freezer off at the mains supply and leave

the doors open. Ideally the frozen food should be put into another Fridge/Freezer or

refrigerator. If this is not possible wrap the food, firstly in several sheets of newspaper

or large towels and then in a thick rug or blanket and keep it in a cool place.

• Scrape away as much frost build-up as possible using the plastic scraper. To

accelerate the thawing process place bowls of hot water inside the Fridge/Freezer

cabinet. As the solid frost loosens, prize it away with the plastic scraper and remove.

• When defrosting is completed, clean your Fridge/Freezer.

Recommended storage periods

For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food

packaging.
