    Re: How to make freezer slow freeze poultry

    Fast freezing causes a uniform lattice type ice structure, expansion still occurs and may rupture the cell wall (a bit like a pipe freezing) Slow freezing cause the ice to build somewhat like a snow flake with many edges and points, with penetrates the cell wall in many places.
    on defrosting the cell wall become weaker/mis-shaped. The more tears the greater the deterioration.
    Unless you freeze dry, removing the internal cell moisture, which seems to make the cell wall more rigid.
    it is the deterioration of the cell walls that make frozen food mushy, compared to fresh.

    that is incredibly irresponsible and illegal, any refrigerant is to be recovered and handled properly! if that was don back in the R-12 days it wouldn't be banned as it is now. now days you still have idiots venting the stuff guaranteeing that ozone hole stays big n healthy!
    Now in Redvers Sask.

    hey idiot i dont know how small ur reclaim unit is but mine would cycle off on lp if i tryed to recover the 200 grams in a small chest freezer so a few seconds of letting the gas go is the same as purging your gauge line 20 times, do u do that or are u so worried about the enviroment u just let air enter the system

    oh yeah all the ideas of buying this and installing that also are causing the hole to get bigger by adding a car on the road to get the parts and the manufacture to make more parts only to find out it doesnt work anyways just let 50grams out and ull be right

    An absolte no no
    Less refrigerant bigger compression ratio very high suction superheat
    Lending to a very high discharge temp oil breakdown and comp failure
