To freeze food in
your freezer
When freezer has cooled to a safe storage
temperature, it may be loaded with frozen
food. However, when you plan to freeze
a quantity of unfrozen food, see the
following chart for the amount to freeze
at one time.

.These amounts are based on USDA
recommendations. If too many packages
of unfrozen food are packed at one time
into the freezer, the rate of freezing is too
slow. Poor quality products result.
