When freezing pre-wrapped foods, consider double wrapping them or placing the packages in tightly sealed plastic bags for additional protection.

Wrap foods tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Label and date packages so you know how long it's been in the freezer.

When using freezer bags, squeeze out the air as you seal them. You can even use straw to suck out air. Label and date.

Fill containers completely, only allowing space for expansion during freezing.

Freezer-safe glass containers allow less air infiltration.

Place a layer of plastic wrap on the surface of soups and stews before sealing the container.

Set your freezer temperature below 0 Fahrenheit. Buy a freezer thermometer to insure the temperature controls are accurate.

Never put warm items directly in the freezer. For best results, cool to room temperature then chill in the refrigerator before freezing.

Open the freezer door as little as possible. A separate chest freezer (with manual defrost) is best for dedicated long-term storage of frozen foods.
