Freezing food in your freezer
To wrap foods:

1. Cut sheet of wrapping material about onethird longer than distance around food to be wrapped. Place wrapping sheet on flat surface with food in center of sheet.

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

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, pad sharp edges with extra wrap or use stockinette to protect against tearing or puncturing.

Airtight packaging is important in freezing foods. Containers and wrappings should be moisture and vapor-proof and packages should be sealed carefully to keep moisture in and air out. Freezer burn can result if food is not properly wrapped. When this happens food dehydrates and is of poor quality. 6
