Freezer tips
- For best freezer storage, temperature should be 0 degrees
Fahrenheit or below. Maximum temperature should be 5 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If
no thermometer is available, use this rule of thumb; If freezer can't
keep ice cream brick-solid, temperature is above the recommended level
and do not store food for more than one week in a freezer where the
temperature is above the recommended level.
- Date food
packages with an expiration date according to maximum storage time
recommended. Longer storage is not dangerous, but flavors and textures
begin to deteriorate.
