Tips for shopping for frozen foods
Your Freezer is 4 star
When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines
on the packaging� You will be able to store each item of frozen
food for the period shown against the 4 star rating� This is usually
the period stated as “Best, Before”, found on the front of the
packaging�
Check the Fridge/Freezer temperature
Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop
where you buy your frozen foods� It should show a temperature
lower than -18°C�
Choose packs carefully
Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition�
Purchase frozen food last
Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to
the supermarket�
Keep frozen foods together
Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping, and on the
journey home as this will help to keep the food cooler�
Store food straight away
Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away�
Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets
and hardware shops� These keep frozen food cold for longer�
Thawing frozen food
For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary�
Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water
or steam cooked� Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a
saucepan and heated gently until thawed�
Freezing fresh foods, useful tips
Use quality food and handle it as little as possible� Freeze food
in small quantities, it freezes faster, takes less time to thaw and
enables you to eat it in the quantity you need�
Freezing fresh foods
First, estimate the amount of food you will be freezing� If you
are freezing large amounts of fresh food, remember to turn
the control dial to Max� This will lower the temperature in the
Freezer (approx -30°C), freezing your food quicker and helping to
keep the goodness in� However you should do this sparingly to
conserve energy�
