Question
From 1 to 8 hours by product size.
Blast freezing time depends on product size and density. Thin items like fish fillets freeze in 1 to 2 hours. Larger cuts of meat take 3 to 4 hours. Whole tuna or large frozen blocks can take 6 to 8 hours. A standard freezer takes 12 to 24 hours for the same load.
Did you know?
The freezing time often depends more on product thickness than weight. A thin product can freeze quickly, while a thicker item of the same weight may take much longer because heat has farther to travel.
