Only Pack Essential Food Items

Make a list of everything you still have in your refrigerator and freezer before transporting frozen food . Sort each thing into a distinct category after going over it one at a time.

Throw Out Any Expired Items

Make sure to include the expiration date for each item on your list of everything. Make a distinction between "use by" and "best before" dates. You can decide which objects are ready to be thrown out right away by doing this.

Instead of throwing out any food which you don’t want to eat or take with you, you could instead share it with your friends, or family. It also makes a great way to say goodbye to your neighbours before you move. Another alternative can be to donate it to a local charity.

Cook Your Frozen Food

In the week leading up to your move, you should aim to cook as much frozen food as possible and eat it before you move. Try to have as many meals as possible during this time with your remaining frozen food and leftovers.

Store Frozen Food In A Cooler Or Esky

What if you still have any food in your freezer? Well, it’s not a good idea to just bring them with you in a box or bag when it’s time to move – even if it’s only a short distance.

How To Pack Frozen Food

Fill up your esky as much as possible. Leaving any space may cause it to melt faster. If you don’t have enough items to fill it up, then add ice packs, and store your frozen food in layers. The more you have packed, the longer it will retain its cold temperature.

To eliminate any bacterial growth and food being spoiled, you must keep the temperature below 4 ̊C.

First, take any poultry and frozen meat and put them in the bottom of the esky. Use the newspaper as an insulator to stop any juices from the meat dripping on other items below.

Prevent Spills and Leaks

It’s likely that no matter how carefully you pack your food, and how secure the packaging seems, that spills and leaks will occur. To prevent this, you should seal everything which might leak in either a ziplock bag or sealable containers like Tupperware.
