Freezing Poultry
by Mrs. Richard C. Spence
There’s no easier way of preserving poultry at home
than freezing. 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

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. Here is a guide de
veloped by food scientists
showing the maximum stor
age life of various poultry
products, if -kept at zero de
