FREEZE! by Deborah Rubin Fields
1 What is the fastest way to make a meal? The fastest way to make a meal is to take food from the freezer. It does not
take much thinking. We do not even think about how the idea is not really new. For many years, people have frozen food to eat it later.
2 The Chinese used to store food in underground rooms. They called these rooms ice cellars. Other people put food
into snow-packed cellars. Still other people learned that they could make ice inside clay pots. Finally, the Labrador Inuits gave Clarence Birdseye the idea for freezing food.
3 In 1912, Birdseye was a fur trader. The Inuits showed him how to fast-freeze fish. The fish stayed tasty with the
quick freezing. It also looked good when cooked. There was a secret to the freezing. Birdseye sprayed the food with salty water while it was very cold.
4 In 1924, Birdseye opened a company. He built a food freezer for the company. It was the first of its kind. He also
tried selling frozen vegetables, fruits, meats, fish, and seafood.
5 At first, storeowners and shoppers were afraid to buy his new food. But things changed when World War II started.
There was not enough tin to pack food into cans. Frozen foods, however, came wrapped in paper. So stores were happy to sell frozen foods.
