Wrapping food
Pack the food in suitably sized portions for your household.
Vegetable and fruit portions should be no heavier than 2 pounds, while meat portions can be up to 5.5 lbs.
Smaller portions freeze through more quickly and the quality is better maintained when defrosting and preparing the food.
It is important to seal food in airtight bags or containers before freezing to prevent it from losing its taste or dehydrating.
Wrap the food, press out any air and seal it airtight.
Suitable wrapping materials:
Plastic bags, cling-film, aluminium foil and freezer containers. These items are available from any dealer.
Unsuitable wrapping materials:
Wrapping paper, wax paper, cellophane, bin bags or used carrier bags.
These can cause odors to be generated.
Suitable sealing materials:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, freezer tape or similar.
Plastic film and bags may be heat-sealed using a special sealing iron or press.
Before placing a package in the freezer, it should be clearly labelled with the contents and date of freezing.
