Things to Keep in Mind When Freezing Food

In some cases freezing food is the best option we have at our disposal, but is important to pay attention to some things to be sure that we do it in the right way. What should we keep in mind when freezing food?

This applies to the fridge as well, but it is important to mention that you can put only cooled food into the refrigerator. It is bad for the freezer and the food as well if you put warm food in it.

Sometimes we defrost an other food that we wanted, we change our mind or something comes up, but no matter how great the temptation, do not refreeze a food that was once defrosted. If it is something raw, you can prepare a dish on the stove or in the oven and then put back in when it’s cooled.

If we have the idea that the freezer consumes more energy when full, we are wrong. The most economical way is to fill the freezer as much as we can, because then less cold air needs to circulate to keep it cold.

Sometimes we are in a rush when we put food in the freezer, but proper preparation can save us from a lot of headache. Divide food in portions, because after we defrost a lager portion, no matter if we need all or not, we can not refreeze it. Lable food! Maybe you think that you will keep in mind what is in that bag or container, but after a few weeks you will probably forget it, especially the date when it was frozen, which is important as well.

Freeze your food in fresh state, it will not be more fresh because you freeze it, you will take out what you put in. If you are unsure about the state of any food, throwing it away is better than getting ill.

If the power was cut, do not open the freezer, since it can retain cold up to 24 hours, of course, if we don’t let it out. If we go on a trip and we want to be sure that our food was not defrost, gone bad and refrigerated because of a power cut, fill a plastic bottle with water halfway, put it in the freezen verically and let if freeze. Before you leave the house, change the position of the bottle to horizontal. If the water in the bottle is freezed in horizontal position when you come home, it means that your food was defrost and refrigareted while you were gone.
