mmON FFEEZIIWFOODS
There are three essential requirements for
efficient home freezing, First, of course, is
initial quality. OnIy top-quality foods
shou]d be frozen. Freezing retains quality
and flavor; it cannot improve quality. Sec-
ond is speed, The quicker fruits and veg-
etables are frozen after picking. the better
the frozen product will be. You’ll save time,
too, because less culling and sorting will be
necessary. The third requirement is proper
packaging. Use food wraps designed espe-
cially for freezing; they’re readily available
in a wide selection at your favorite store.
-i-c)FREEZEMEAT,
FISH AND POULTRY
Wrap well in freezer-weight foil (or other
heavy-duty wrapping material), forming it
carefully to the shape of the contents. This
expels air. Fold and crimp ends of the pack-
age to provide a good, lasting seal. Don’t
refreeze meat that has completely thawed;
meat, whether raw or cooked, can be frozen
successfully only once.

Fruit and vegetable crispers have been spe-
