Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the freezer.
This will prevent unnecessary energy use.
When storing meats, keep in the original packaging or rewrap as necessary.
Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be in packages,
which do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, or out. Improper storage will
result in odor and taste transfer and will result in the drying out of the improperly
packaged food.
Follow package or container instructions for proper storage.

Plastic containers with air tight lids
