FREEZING MEAT TAKES
CARE FOR BEST RESULTS
The quality of the freezer-stored
meat you serve depends on the
quality of the meat itself, the way
it is prepared for freezing, the
quality of the packaging materials,
and the temperature of the freezer.
You can buy meat for the freezer
already frozen or get it as a fresh
product. If the meat is fresh, it’s
important to freeze it while it is in
the top condition.
If you buy ground beef in bulk -
more than three pounds - rewrap it
in one-half or one pound units or
form it intopatties before serving.
Divide steaks, chops or patties
with a double sheet of waxed or
cellophane paper for easy
separation and fast thawing. Or,
freeze them individually, un
wrapped on a baking sheet. After
they are frozen, place in large
freezer bags or wrap in freezer
paper or heavy duty foil and
remove individually as needed.

wrapping material which provides
a good moisture vapor-proof
barrier to avoid freezer bum or
drying out. Common freezer paper
has a shiny or waxy side; place
this surface next to the meat. It
serves as a moisture barrier and
prevents the paper from becoming
soaked.
All types of meat can be
adequately packaged if you wrap
with freezer paper or heavy duty
aluminum foil using what is called
the “drug store seal.” After
placing the meat in the center of
the paper, bring the two sides up
and over the meat, match the long
ends and fold over about & inch.
Make a crease the entire length.
Make one more tight fold to bring
the wrap down to the level of the
food surface. Press air out toward
end. Then, mold the wrap to the
contours of the food item, folding
short ends up,.continuing to press
out air before sealing the ends
fifinly.

HELP SAVE CHILDREN’S
LIVES THIS YEAR
As many as 100,000 young
American children will be
poisoned accidentally this year
according to the Consumer
Product Safety Commission.
Most of these poisonings will
occur as a direct result of adult
carelessness about household
substances which are poisonous.
By keeping dangerous products
out of the reach of children, nearly
all accidental poisonings under
the age of five could be prevented.
Parents are urged to;
—buy and use products with
child-resistant caps and closures
—keep products in their original
containers with the warning labels
intact
—make sure that drugs, cleaning
products and other potentially
hazardous substances are kept
securely in cabinets and other
locations inaccessible to children.
Aspirin was the substance most
commonly involved in poisonings
to young children until the
previous decade. It was the first
substances to have child resistant
closures. Since safety closures
have been required, there has been
a 60 percent reduction in the
number of ingestions.
Poisonous houseplants have
been the cause of the greater
number of reports of child
poisonings recently. Detergents,
cleaners and soaps ranked second,
and vitamin/mineral preparations
ranked third.

UNIVERSITY PARK -
Everyone who packs a lunch could
use some fresh new ideas and
Extension nutritionists at Penn
State have a few suggestions.
For a high protein sandwich idea
try chopped walnuts and raisins
,with cream cheese; baked beans
with some chili sauce; peanut
butter with raisins, nuts, molasses
or sliced apple; chopped egg with
green pepper, nuts, olives or
grated cheese; or sliced leftover
beef or chicken.
Vary your bread too - try pumper
Commission stresses that parents
and other consumers can help save
lives with child-resistant
packaging only if properly used.
The poison prevention safety tips
they advocate are:
—closing the container properly
after use to resecure the safety
feature;
—remembering that these safety
features are no more than “chiid
resistanr some -young children
may be able to open poison
prevention packages; and
. —ensuring that the telephone
numbers of the nearest poison
control center, rescue squad
service and physician are listed
next to the telephone in the event of
a poisoning.
Easily .fits your
existing fireplace!
Comes complete
with blower for
even greater
efficiency! Your
choice of two
sizes . . . large
size heats up to
2500 sq.ft.
Put sum punch
in your lunch
ruckle with the mashed baked
beans, chopped egg with whole
wheat, cream cheese on a bagel. If
you want to avoid bread, try a
green pepper or apple stuffed with
cottage cheese and dried fruit or
chopped vegetables and a cup of
yogurt. Make a “lettuce” sand
wich by rolling your favorite filling
in a large lettuce leaf or wrapping
meat slices around pickles, cheese
or celery.
In the fruit department, try
creating a “shishkabob” of
pineapple cubes, apples, grapes
and melon balls. Don’t forget a
drink. Milk is best, but you can get
variety with an individual can of
fruit juice or nectar.
