How It Works

Prime Fresh preserves your food in a soft frozen state to lock in the maximum amount of flavour and nutrients.

Soft Freezing​

Soft Freezing​

Soft freezing at approximately -3°C ensures the water inside the food doesn’t expand and cause cell damage.

Prevents Fat Oxidation

Prevents Fat Oxidation

Soft freezing stops the fat in food from oxidising to maintain optimal freshness and taste.

Why Is -3°C Optimal For Maintaining Freshness?​

Not Ideal (-18°C)​

Not Ideal (-18°C)​

Food is hard and difficult to cut, while flavour is lost due to cell damage.

Ideal Temperature​ (-3°C)

Ideal Temperature​ (-3°C)

Food is easy to cut without defrosting. Freshness and flavour can be retained for 7 days*¹.

Not Ideal​ (4°C)​

Not Ideal​ (4°C)​

Food is too soft to cut neatly and only stays fresh for a few days.

-3°C Keeps Meat & Fish Fresh For 7 Days*¹

Prime Fresh freezes meat and fish lightly at approximately -3°C, thereby retaining freshness for about 7 days*¹ without the need to defrost. Select the Prime Fresh+ mode to soft freeze food about four times faster*².​

Soft freezing retains the freshness of meat and fish longer compared to chilled storage. Soft frozen food can also be cooked immediately without defrosting, giving you extra convenience on days where you’re strapped for time.
