Freezing fresh food

Freezing food yourself
If you are freezing food yourself, use only
fresh, undamaged food.
The following foods are suitable for
freezing:
Meat and sausage products, poultry and
game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fruit, cakes
and pastries, pizza, ready meals,
leftovers, egg yolk and egg white.
The following foods are not suitable
for freezing:
Eggs in shells, soured cream and
mayonnaise, green salads, radishes and
onions.
Blanching vegetables and fruit
To retain colour, flavour, aroma and
vitamin C, vegetables and fruits should
be blanched prior to freezing.
Blanching is the brief immersion
of vegetables and fruit in boiling water.
Literature on freezing and blanching
is available in bookshops.
Storing food in the
appliance
Preferably freeze large quantities of food
in the top compartments where freezing is
particular quick and therefore also gentle.
Place the food over the whole area of the
compartments or the freezer drawers.
Food which is already frozen must not
come into contact with the food which is
to be frozen. If required, move the frozen
food to the freezer drawers.
