• Portion the food into meal-size servings or desired quantities.

• If using a freezer-safe container, ensure it is large enough to accommodate the food without being overcrowded.

• For liquids or soups, allow the food to cool completely before transferring it to containers to prevent excess ice formation.

• Seal the containers or freezer bags tightly, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.

• Label each container or bag with the contents and date of freezing for easy identification.

• Place the containers or bags in the freezer, arranging them in a single layer if possible for quicker freezing.

• Store frozen food for the recommended period (typically 3-6 months, depending on the type of food).

• Step 1: Wash freezer-safe containers with warm, soapy water and a sponge.

• Step 2: Rinse thoroughly to remove soap residue.

• Step 3: Dry the containers completely before storing them.

• Step 4: For freezer bags, clean the inside before reuse or dispose of them after single use.
