FREEZING

Only use fresh food of the best quality. Cool hot dishes to room temperature as quickly as possible before placing them in the freezer. Wrap food carefully in freezer foil, or use the special freezer boxes or bags which are on the market. Divide food into small portions before freezing - this ensures that freezing is more rapid, and means that you only need to defrost the amount needed for immediate consumption. Remember that defrosted food must not be re-frozen. However, dishes which have been cooked using defrosted fresh food may be frozen. Mark the freezer packaging with the date of freezing. We recommend keeping a record of the contents of your freezer. If freezing is too slow, the quality of the food being frozen deteriorates. Consequently, do not freeze larger amounts than stated in the freezer�s data plate. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, the maximum freezing capacity stated per day is reduced by about one-third. As far as possible, keep the lid closed during freezing. If you know nothing about home freezing, we recommend that you

purchase a book containing advice and guidelines.

DEFROSTING
In general food should not be defrosted at room temperature, since this increases the risk of bacteria growth. It is best to defrost large portions of meat or poultry in the refrigerator, and this also applies to food which is to be consumed as it is (e.g. fruit, butter and sliced meat). Small portions of food can be cooked straight from the freezer. A good number of readyto-cook dishes can also be cooked without defrosting. Always observe the instructions on product packaging. Bread tastes good when defrosted in a moderate oven. Microwave ovens can be used for the rapid defrosting of most frozen foods. Observe the instructions for use of the microwave oven concerned, especially regarding foil dishes.
