Used Freezers

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

A used freezer is often purchased as an introduction to freezing, because it is usually cheap. Many of those sold by shops or food factories are however only conservators, designed to store frozen food, but not to freeze fresh food. Manufacturers have now produced a wide range of small domestic freezers, well designed and at competitive prices, with fair guarantees and an availability of spare parts, so that it is no longer necessary to buy a used freezer when a low price is the determining factor.

Air, Excluding

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Air must be excluded from frozen food packages, and all air pockets eliminted, to prvent deterioration of the contents. Failure to exclude air may result in FREEZER BURN, OXDATION and RANCIDITY

Air is most easily pressed out of soft packages with the hands. Air pockets in cartons can be released by plunging a knife into the contents two or three times. Air can be excluded from bags by inserting a drinking straw, holding the closing tightly and sucking out air until package holds close to the food.
