You also know it can change quickly depending on how it’s frozen and stored. But which is the best method of freezing food, and how does it work? Let’s look at the blast freezing process and compare it to other, slower freezing methods.
Key Concepts
This post covers the following concepts:
How Does Blast Freezing Work?
The blast freezing or flash freezing process works by blasting food products with cold air and sucking the hot air out of them simultaneously. This process occurs in a blast freezing chamber that accommodates the exchange of hot and cold air. It uses refrigerant to remove heat from the chamber’s air and turn it into gases that exist outside of the food products they just left. The blast chilling process repeats itself, pumping the products with cold air and pulling the hot air away until the products reach -18 degrees Celsius (-0.4 degrees Fahrenheit).
Other Quick Methods of Freezing
Blast freezing cools products rather quickly, but it’s not the only way to freeze your products. Other quick freezing methods include:
How Slow Freezing Methods Work
The methods described above freeze products in a few hours or a few days. But slow freezing takes several days or weeks to cool frozen foods. Slow freezing usually occurs in storage freezers where food products sit on the shelf and gradually grow cool. While this process sounds easy, it gives your food products more time to grow bacteria or let large ice crystals form on their surfaces. It also allows your foods to lose many of their nutrients.
The Benefits of Blast Freezers
When you cool your frozen foods down in a blast freezer, you reap a variety of benefits, including:
