USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and

moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This

prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the

refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to

ensure freshness.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook

for further information about preparing food for

freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of

food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer

than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3

lbs. of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave

enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around

packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the

front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and

type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used

(how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage

temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are

normal. This simply means that moisture in the food

and air inside the package have condensed, creating

ice crystals.

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature

for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot

foods before freezing saves energy.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging.

When you close and seal the package, it must not

allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could

have food odor and taste transfer throughout the

refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

tting lids

• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

• Plastic-coated paper

• Non-permeable plastic wraps

ed freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper

freezing methods.

Do not use

• Bread wrappers

• Non-polyethylene plastic containers

• Containers without tight lids

• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

food containers in the freezer compartment. They may

break or burst if they freeze.
