Packaging and sealing food...
AirtIght packaging IS important in freezlng
foods Containers and wrappings should be
moisture and dapor-proof and packages should
be sealed carefully to keep moisture in and ar
out
Freezer burr? can result if food IS not properly
wrapped When this happens, food dehydrates
and IS of poor quality
To wrap foods...
1. Cut sheet of wrapping material about one-
thtrd longer than distance around food to be
wrapped. Place wrapping sheet on flat sur-
face with food in center of sheet
2. Bring front and back of wrapping together
and fold in toward food, making at least two
one-inch (2 5 cm] folds until food fits tightly
against wrapplng
3. Crease ends close to food to ellminate air
pockets
4. Press all air from package. Fold each end over
twice Make sure fold is tight and fasten
against end of package with freezer tape
NOTE: When packaging meats that have not
been boned, pod sharp edges with extra wrap
or use stockinette to protect against tearing or
puncturing
Use heavy-duty aluminum freezer foil, kraft pa-
per with cellophane bonded to it, special freezer
bags, jars, cartons and freezer sealing tape for
packaging your food items You’ll find them at the
supermarket or freezer dealer
