On many occasions I either have made too
much for a meal and wasn't sure what to do with the leftovers or just purchased
more food than my family could eat. I
cannot stand to waist food. So I decided to do the research to see what foods
can be frozen for a later use. Below you will find a list of many food items
that can be frozen. To know how long an
item can stay frozen type your food item into Google and add freezer life to
the search. I would suggest that all
items being thawed be done in the refrigerator. Remember that some items will
change in texture when they have been frozen and some items will not change at
all. I am not a frozen food expert so do
your research and surprise yourself on how many items you can save instead of
tossing.
1.
Dairy products. May dairy
products can be frozen. Items such as cheese and milk are just a start of the
dairy products that can be frozen for a later use.
2.
Backed products. Many backed
items such as breads, cakes and even cookies can be frozen.
3.
Baking supplies can also be frozen.
I always freeze my flour to keep it fresh. You may be surprised just how
many baking supplies can be frozen, everything from nuts to sugar. Check out your favorite baking item and see
how long it can stay in the freezer.
4.
Veggies and Berries. Many vegetables
and berries can be frozen. I love to
freeze strawberries from my garden and use them in cakes and other tasty
desserts later in the year. Most
vegetables and berries can be frozen in one form or the other.
5.
Eggs. Yes, even eggs can be
frozen. I like to whip them up with some
milk and a bit of cheese and freeze them for a fast breakfast later.
6.
Meals. Of course you can freeze
either leftovers or even make several meals for a later date. I freeze soup, chicken, pizza and many other
items for later meals.
As you can see, the list can go on and
on. What is your favorite item to freeze
and how do you freeze it?
