shartman Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I hate left overs so i am brand new to freezing and storing things in the fridge. Its probably why i eat out so much. So i am looking for good resources on how to freeze and what to freeze, how long things can be in the fridge. I want to start prepping really well and freeze things. I know there are certain things you should do to avoid freezer burn. I want to do this correctly because my aversion to left overs, i things fast and easy and tasting fresh.

Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hi shaftman, Google is probably your best bet to learn these sorts of cooking questions. I would just google "how best to freeze xyz" and see what you come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shartman Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Yes, I have been googling, but sometimes the best referrals come from people you ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praxisproject Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 If it's leftovers or something you have too much of, I find a single serve is often more handy than some giant thing I need to defrost to get a single serve of veggies or protein.

chefjustin85 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 A couple of things I can throw out to you. The number 1 rule when dealing with food. If you're in doubt throw it out. It's better to throw a few bucks in the trash. Number 2. The quicker you can get something cold, the better. Invest in a vacuum sealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusanB.

Yep - I do a lot of cooking on the weekends, so I'm always freezing things I make in big batches. Key for me is to freeze in single-serve portions. There is nothing as easy as opening the freezer and grabbing a serving of soup when you need a veg for your meal. When I'm really organized with planning ahead, I'll even take it out of the freezer and put it in the fridge the day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
