How to store frozen and deep-frozen foods in the freezer
Foods to be frozen and frozen foods, i.e. pre-cooked foods that only need to be heated before being served, should be placed in the freezer.
- Once thawed, previously frozen foods must be consumed within 24 hours and cannot be placed back in the freezer.
- The ideal freezer temperature is around -20°.
- Clean your freezer at least once a month to avoid excessive frost buildup.
- Remember not to leave foods in the freezer for more than 3-4 months, especially if they are particularly fatty.
- Don’t freeze too many quantities of food at once; use disposable containers instead.
- To defrost food without losing its properties, do not leave it at room temperature, but place it in the refrigerator, so that the process occurs slowly.
