When you freeze food, put it into several small containers, this allows food to be frozen and thawed more safely and quickly than in large ones. Never thaw foods at room temperature. Use the refrigerator, the microwave, or in a plastic bag under cold running water. Throw away meat and other foods that show signs of mold. You can also remove mold on hard cheese, but discard moldy soft cheeses and milk products.
