How to freeze food in your freezer
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.
PACKAGE AND SEAL
CAREFULLY
Airtight packaging is the secret of success
in freezing foods, Containers and
wrappings should be moisture-vapor-
proof and packages should be sealed
carefully to keep natural moisture in and
air out.
If food is not properly wrapped, freezer burn
will result. When this happens, food de-
hydrates and is of poor quality.
The drugstore fold is recommended for
efficiency and economy. Bring the edges
of the paper together and fold over until it
fits tightly around the articles being
wrapped [at least two folds).
