WHICH TYPE FREEZER
TO BUY
More people are growing
their own vegetables and
looking into canning and
freezing foods. If your family
plans to buy a freezer, you’ll
find that most freezers on the
market today are stan
dardized. Choice between
brands may be of minor
importance, except for
servicing.
Your most important
decisions will concern the
three types of freezers
available-chest freezer,
upright freezer with manual
defrosting, and a frost-free
upright freezer-and the
amount of freezer space you
will need.
Upright freezers take up
less floor space than chest
freezers but all three types
are available in a variety of
usable storage space.
Chest freezers vary in size
from 4 to 25 cubic feet of
storage space. Most have
from 3 to 5 inches of in
sulation. The evaporator
coils, an integral part of the
inside wall liner, provide for
contact freezing-freezing
takes place quickly when the
food package is in contact
with the walls.

Chest freezers are the
least expensive to buy and
lowest in cost to operate.
Odd-shaped packages fit
easily into the spaces and no
space is wasted since there is
no need for shelves or coils
inside.
Chest freezers have some
disadvantages. You must
bend to load and unload. It’s
difficult to remove frozen
food without moving other
packages. And it’s not easy
to keep the packages in the
freezer arranged orderly.
Also, if food to be frozen is
placed near the top, it may
be the warmest part of the
freezer and not freeze
properly.
Upright freezers with
manual defrosting vary in
size from 4 to 10 cubic feet of
space. The purchase price
and operating cost are
slightly higher than for chest
freezers of the same size.
With upright freezers, it’s
easy to organize storage of
different kinds of foods and
package sizes. Shelves on the
door provide extra storage
space and keep packages
within easy reach. But
unless shelves have front
guards, food packages must
be carefully arranged to
prevent their falling out
when the door is opened.
Odd-shaped packages may
waste freezer space. Upright
freezers need to be unloaded,
cleaned and manually
defrosted about once a year.
Frost-free upright models
are available in 12 to 20 feet
models. They cost more to
buy and operate, consuming
almost twice as much
electricity as manual-defrost
models. With this type of
freezer, foods to be frozen
cm be placed anywhere in
the freezer. They need only
to come in contact with the
moving cold air. Since heat
from food being frozen is
removed from inside the
freezer, food that is already
frozen generally maintains
its frozen state and quality.
The air circulation which
keeps the freezer frost-free
also removes moisture from
poorly packaged foods more
rapidly than in the other
types of freezers.
HOW TO SELECT BACON
Recent regulations for
sliced bacon packages
require new back windows or
bigger front windows so you
can see at least 70 percent of
a length of a slice of bacon
inside. But what do you look
for?
Most people want bacon
with a lot of lean. The
distribution of lean within a
slice of bacon affects its
taste. When fried, bacon with
several strips of lean
distributed throughout the
slice will tend to be more
crispy. While bacon with the
same amount of lean that’s
concentrated in fewer but
larger sections will tend to
be more chewy.
Since bacon comes in one
pound, two pound, 12-ounce
and half-pound packages, be
sure to check the weight and
compare prices, too.
Society 28
Society of Farm Women
No. 28 met recently at the
home of Mrs. Elvin Hess, Jr.
Co-hostess was Mrs. Harold
Byers. After being given tips
on bicycle safety, the group
embarked on a six mile
bicycle hike. Mid-way
through the hike the group
enjoyed tasty bag lunches
prepared by the hostesses.
There will be no meeting in
August. The next meeting
will be held Tuesday, Sep
