en-us Freezing fresh food Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavor and color, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Eggplants, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching. Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in bookshops. Note: Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen. ■ The following foods are suitable for freezing: Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts. ■ The following foods are not suitable for freezing: Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hardboiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise. Packing frozen food To prevent food from losing its flavor or drying out, place in airtight containers. 1. Place food in packaging. 2. Remove air. 3. Seal the wrapping. 4. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing. Suitable packaging: Cling wrap, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminum foil, freezer containers. These products are available from specialist outlets. Unsuitable packaging: Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags. Items suitable for sealing packaged food: Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant adhesive tape, etc. Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene can be sealed with a film heat sealer. Shelf life of frozen food Storage duration depends on the type of food. At a temperature of 0 °F: ■ Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries: up to 6 months ■ Cheese, poultry and meat: up to 8 months ■ Vegetables and fruit: up to 12 months Super freezing Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavor. Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an unwanted temperature rise. As a rule, 4-6 hours is adequate. This appliance runs constantly and the freezer compartment drops to a very low temperature. If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment. Smaller quantities of food (up to 4.4 lbs or 2 kg) can be frozen without "super freezing". Note: When super freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur. Switching on and off Press button „super freezer". If the super freezing has been switched on the button is lit. Super freezing automatically switches off after approx. 2½ days. Thawing frozen food Depending on the type and application, select one of the following options: ■ at room temperature, ■ in the refrigerator, ■ in an electric oven, with/without fan assisted hot-air, ■ in the microwave. , CAUTION: Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Only ready meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen. No longer store the frozen produce for the max. storage period. 12
