This way food can be stored in the space of two drawers. ^ Place the food flat in the bottom of the drawers or on the glass cold plates so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible. 19 Freezing and storing food ^ Make sure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen. When freezing, make sure that food already frozen does not come into contact with fresh food being frozen as this could cause the frozen food to begin to defrost. Use the markers to indicate the type of food being frozen, and turn the dials to the appropriate number to show the month in which it was first placed in the freezer. Defrosting Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: ­ in a microwave oven, ­ in an oven using the "Fan" or "Defrost" setting, ­ at room temperature, ­ in the refrigerator (the cold given off by the frozen food helps to keep the food cold), ­ in a steam oven. Freezer calendar The freezer calendar on the freezer drawer gives the length of time which various foods can be stored for effectively. Where the storage time given on the packaging differs, follow the advice on the packaging. Marker system for frozen food The marker system serves as a reminder of how long food has been stored. Each freezer drawer has two slide markers with dials. The months are represented on the dials as 1 ­ 12. Poultry It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and wash the container it was in, the sink and your hands. Fruit should be defrosted at room temperature in its packing, or in a covered bowl. Most vegetables can be cooked while still frozen. Just put straight into boiling water or hot fat. The cooking time is slightly less than that of fresh vegetables due to changes in the cell structure. ^ Slide the markers onto the guide runners on the edge of the drawers. 20 Freezing and storing food Freezer tray Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
