'These amounts are based on USDA
recommendations. If too many packages
of unfrozen food are packed at one time
into the freezer, the rate of freezing is too
slow. Poor
quality products result.
PACKAGE AND SEAL
CAREFULLY
Airtight packaging is the
secret of
success
in treezing foods. Containers and
wrappings should be moisture-vapor-
proof and packages should be sealed
carefully to keep natural moisture in and
air out.
If food is not properly wrapped, treezer burn
will result. When this happens, food de
hydrates and is of poor quality.
The drugstore fold is recommended for
efficiency and economy. Bring the edges
of the paper together and fold over until it
fits tightly around the articles being
wrapped (at least two folds).
