Under the proper storage conditions, poultry from the home freezer can have the same flavor, color, and nutritive value as fresh poultry. It keeps well when frozen in a variety of forms- uncooked —either whole or cut up; cooked as slices or pieces, with or without bone, and in combination dishes or sandwiches For success in freezing bag form for whole or half poultry at home keep in birds.

Secretary ever, foods that contain some liquid require a certain a amount of, space at the top of the package to allow for expansion during freezing. Most rigid freezer containers have a mark or line to indi cate how much space should be left. . . Freeze quickly at zero degrees or below to maintain high quality. Place the pack ages against the sidewalls of the freezer or on metal freez ing plates or shelves to speed freezing. A little space a round the packages speeds freezing by allowing cold air to circulate freely. Even under the most- fav orable storage conditions there are limits to how long poultry will keep well in the freezer.
