Packaging and sealing food...
Airtight packaging is important in freezing
foods Containers and wrappings should be
moisture and vapor-proof and packages should
be sealed carefully to keep moisture m and air
out
Freezer bun can result if food is not properly
wrapped. When this happens, food dehydrates
and IS of poor quality
To wrap foods...
1. Cut sheet of wrapping material about one-
third longer than distance around food to be
wrapped. Place wrapping sheet on flat sur­
face with food in center of sheet.
2. Bring front and back of wrapping together
and fold in toward food, making at least two
one-inch (2.5 cm.) folds until food fits tightly
against wrapping.
3. Crease ends close to food to eliminate air
twice. Make sure fold is tight and fasten
against end of package with freezer tape.
NOTE: When packaging meats that have not
been boned, pad sharp edges with extra wrap
or use stockinette tc- protect against tearing or
puncturing.
Use heavy-duty aluminum freezer foil, kratt pa­
per with cellophane bonded to it, special freezer
Pags, jars, cartons and freezer sealing tape for
packaging yourfood items. You'll find them at the
supermarket or freezer dealer
See booklet, “How to Preserve Foods the
Modern Way with Your WHIRLPOOL Freezer,”
for complete information and tips on home
freezing.
