Freeze food so it keeps its quality

draft · verifying asked 185 ways distilled today
  1. 1

    Cool before freezing.

    Hot food raises the freezer temperature and part-thaws the neighbours.

  2. 2

    Freeze flat in portions.

    Bags filled thin and flat freeze fast, stack like books, and thaw in minutes instead of hours.

  3. 3

    Squeeze the air out.

    Air is what causes freezer burn. Flat bags, pressed empty, or containers filled to the brim.

  4. 4

    Label with content and date.

    Marker on the bag. Every freezer holds three mystery bricks nobody will ever thaw.

  5. 5

    Know the keep-times.

    Three months for cooked dishes, six for raw meat, a year for vegetables. Edible after, but quality fades.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.

No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
