FREEZER SAFETY II

If you place something in the freezer, check on it in about 24 hours.

If the item still is not completely frozen, check your freezer temperature.

The dial should read no higher than 0ºf. Usually between –10º to –20º is better.

If you think that your freezer is not keeping cold enough place zip lock style bag full of ice cubes in the top of your freezer.

If the freezer gets too warm the ice cubes will melt.

Each time when you open your freezer check to see if there is any water or frozen water in the bag.

If there is, it means that your freezer did not stay cold enough and your food may not be safe to eat.
