[. . . ] ^ Buy frozen food once you have finished the rest of your shopping, and wrap it in newspaper or use a cool bag or cool box to transport it. ^ Store it in the freezer section as soon as possible. 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. 22 Freezing and storing food ­ Do not season fresh foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. Only season cooked food lightly before freezing, but care should be taken as the taste of some spices alters when frozen. ­ Do not place hot foods or drinks in the freezer. This causes already frozen food to thaw, and increases the energy consumption considerably. Allow hot food and drinks to cool down before placing them in the freezer. Unsuitable packing material - wrapping paper - grease-proof paper - cellophane - bin bags - plastic carrier bags Suitable packing material - plastic freezer film - freezer bags - aluminium foil - freezer containers ^ Expel as much air as possible from bags etc. before sealing them, to prevent freezer burn on food. ^ Close the packaging tightly with - rubber bands - plastic clips - string or bag ties - freezer tape. Freezer bags may also be sealed using home heat-sealing kits. 23 ^ Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging. Before placing food in the freezer section ^ When freezing more than 1 kg of fresh food at a time, press the Super freeze button. The Super freeze indicator light will come on. The temperature in the freezer section will drop so that the frozen food already in the freezer will retain its coldness. Placing food in the freezer section ^ Place the food flat in the bottom of the drawers so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible. ^ 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. 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. Freezing and storing food 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. 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 stored in the refrigerator cold), ­ in a steam oven.
