Guide to freezing and save wastage
TECHNIQUE A SCENE THAT is all too common in today's households.

Adopt a better food managing strategy, reduce food waste and save money reducing food waste undoubtedly decreases our overall spending and that means more money for other things your family needs. These tips target ways to freeze food and reduce waste but they also touch on the recommended freezer life of foods and how to thaw foods properly so they are safe to eat.
Freeze foods at their peak quality. Don't wait a few days then decide to freeze it right away to retain food quality. That makes a difference in the condition of the foods when you take it out of the freezer later. And as long as a previously frozen food is still cold and has not reached room temperature, you can refreeze it but there could be a decrease in quality. That means that you can refreeze meats you've just bought, that were previously frozen.
Make use of a freezer's quick freeze section for new freezer items, then reallocate once frozen. Avoid stacking several fresh meat packages together, better to stagger them so they freeze more quickly.
Use appropriately-sized freezer containers for tiny amounts. For baby food freezing or jams, use small plastic containers to minimize the presence of air in the container.
Label and date all frozen. foods. Adding a label helps you to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their quality deteriorates.
There's no sense freezing the left-over soup or stew that nobody liked unless you have a remedy to make it more appetizing later.
