Added punctutation to this article and rephrased some redundant and/or nonsensical sentences. I hear periods are important to encyclopedias in this day and age. - Anonymous, 15:19 EST, 23 Sept. 2007.

Self-promotion edit war
Somebody keeps on trying to add a section about a particular trademark version of flash freezing called, "QuickFreeze". The only references are to a patent and the commercial site that promotes it. I searched and found no evidence that this process was noteworthy, hence I conclude it is self-promotion. The onus is on the person adding material to provide evidence of noteworthiness. 24.218.115.184 (talk) 10:56, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Prodived evidence of noteworthiness by adding link to trade magazine article detailing the innovation and significance — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.18.51.111 (talk) 05:32, 24 February 2013 (UTC)


 * And you got rid of the buzzy "time to market" bit too. I'm satisfied. 24.218.115.184 (talk) 01:12, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Questions I hoped this article would answer
I see in reference from 1930 that "flash" freezing a two-inch thickness of fish actually took 1.5 hours; it was "flash" compared to the previous time of ten hours. What's the numbers in 2015? - David Gerard (talk) 15:19, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
 * How long does it take to freeze something by flash-freezing?
 * What sort of dimensions of objects are flash-frozen?
 * How long before the centre is frozen?
 * When is flash-freezing advised and not advised?

Page cleanup for tone and person
This article really needs a rewrite. Not only is the prose awkward and overly academic ("Now, it is shown how cold water can get before it absolutely must freeze: 48 degrees below zero Celsius.", "For the understanding of Flash freezing, various related quantities might be useful."), a good portion of the article is written in the incorrect person and reads like a bizarre textbook. I'd strongly recommend trimming the excessive academic background and normalizing the prose used throughout the article - some sections read like the rest of Wikipedia, but others feel more like an undergrad lecture given by a tenured professor. While this is a complex subject, Wikipedia is not a textbook or a white paper and its writing should reflect that in its ability to explain abstract concepts in an accessible manner. 64.238.140.42 (talk) 15:53, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
