Manager Phone: 717-354-4341 Label Frozen Foods When putting any food in the freezer - foods bought at the supermarket or frozen at home - always label each package telling what’s in side, how it’s prepared, how much is in the package and the date it was packaged. Extension consumer specialists at Penn State University say it’s important to keep a record of all frozen food then check off packages as they are used. Always use the oldest packages first. Prevent Etching Glassware - Etching, a permanent film, looks frosted or iridescent on scratched or pitted glassware. It can’t be removed but it can be prevented, point out Ex-, tension specialists at Pennf State University. Etching is caused by the removal of metallic ions from soft glass byalkalinewashsolutions.lt can be caused by the use of .excess dishwasher detergent. To prevent et ching, use a minimum amount of detergent and load the automatic dish washer to insure adequate rinsing. Keep Home Safe for Children Rule out the “reachables” for young children. Ac cording to Extension safety specialists at Penn State University, the “reachables” are the available, reachable, handy things that can lead to home accidents. These include medicines left on a table, cleaners and polishes stored under the sink, and pot handles jutting over the edge of the stove. Check the home and workshop and make the reachables “unreachable” before an accident happens.
