Frozen Food Storage Guide
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food,
the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and
moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside
a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in
the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice
crystals.
Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot
[907 to 1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space
in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to
leave enough room for the door to close tightly.
For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a
freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

vegetables that may slide off freezer shelves.
