HOME AGENT'S CORNER
by Jessie Trowbridge and Kathryn Pntcheit
Some of the i>ork that has been
and will be slaughtered on our
Orange County farms will be put in
home freezers. Some home freezer
owners put too much unfrozen food
in the freezer at one time. Let's
hope you don’t! Remember that you
should freeze only about 10 per cent
of the capacity of the fleezer at
one time. Follow instructions in
your freezer book about where and
how to place any food to freeze in
the freezer.
With the “hog killing weather”
and some weather-too cold even for
killing hogs, questions and answers
on the freezing of meat are appro
priate. Maybe one of these is the
answer that you want to know.
1. What type of wrapping paper is
best to use for meats?
Actually no paper is best. Eith
er aluminum foil, laminated
sheets., some coated sheets and
some films. We Sometimes loosely
use the ward “paper,” hurt if pa- '
per is used it must be treated *
(laminated or coated) especially 1
for frozen foods.
2. How long a period of time
would be safe to keep pork before
Freezing?
Chill pork as quickly as possi
ble after killing. Freeze as soon as
possible after chilling. This should
not take more than 48 hours. Tfce
sooner, the better.
3. How long will pork keep in a
rood freezer?
That depends on several things
—■the way the pork is handled, the
speed in which it is chilled are
two of the important ones. On
the average we say about four
months with ground pork keeping -
hardly that long. With perfect' 5
handling and proper packaging
and temperatures it is possible
to keep much longer than that.
. How long will sausage keep in
a freezer? “ *
Our specialist tells us that they
have excellent sausage at the
college for 2 months. It, loses

the things you intend^ to do.
quality after that time, though it
is still edible somewhat longer.
5. Can you salt and put pepper
and sage in sausage before freez
ing?
Yes. If you do not, it is not sau
sage.
6. Why does sausage get old when
rozen?
All foods age in any kind of stor
age. In freezing they age more
slowly than in other storage. Sau
sage ages more quickly than al
most any other food. Pork is very
sensitive to oxygen in the air and
ground meat of any kind gives
a larger area for bacteria to grow.
Some people have sausage that
they enjoy much longer than oth
ers do. Prompt chilling of the
meat and prompt hanlling aftei
chilling and good packaging play
important parts in having sausage
that does not get old too quickly.
7. How may you prepare pork
:hops, hamburgers, or sausage pat
ies so that when taken out of the
reezer they may be separated easi
ly ‘ . '_L
Place two layers of waxed pa
per or packaging material be
tween each piece of meat (this
is called interleaving). Then each
piece can be lifted off the-other
while still frozen. ' ——
