Home freezer - what can be stored in it and how to use it

Innochka, please write how they will behave in freezing, well, very interesting! We must also do a little for trial!

[Crochet]

Crochet, INNUSHKA, THANKS. I WILL TRY. There is also a separate freezer or I will put it in the refrigerator.
Inna, as far as I remember, you bought a chest. Which one and are you satisfied? The Liebherr cabinet for 200 liters is not enough for me.

[such]

write please

I'll write tomorrow, my golden one ...

as far as I remember, you bought a chest. Which one and are you satisfied?

Happy with the wrong word!

So many things have already pushed into it and there is still so much room in it !!!

I have such, Natul ...

[Crochet]

Crochet, Inna, and I am thinking about Liebcher again. I'm sure you'll think in winter: "Why didn't I buy it earlier?" SUCCESSFUL AND DELICIOUS PREPARATIONS!

Tell me please! Who froze zucchini, cauliflower for baby food (first food)? What is the best way to make, blanched pieces, just pieces, ready-made puree? Previously, I just frozen in pieces for stew, I cooked without defrosting, but here a different result is needed.

Inna, I’ll give you another idea from feijoa, last year I froze it rubbed with sugar, I liked it very much, now this is the only way I will do it, feijoa retained its green color and taste, like freshly made

[Natalia]

Who froze zucchini, cauliflower for baby food (first food)?

Natalia, I froze zucchini and pumpkin, in small cubes, then threw in a small amount of boiling water, boiled and beat with a blender

yes, this is nothing but apples grated on a coarse grater, mixed with sugar in a 1: 1 ratio,

Kroshik, I've never heard of raw apple jam. But today, purely on a whim, I cooked something like that and sent it to the freezer.
Summer apples don't want to lie, they start to spoil. Already, I just didn’t make juices, jam, drying, frozen in pieces. Every day there are baked goods with apples, but there are still 2 boxes left. This morning I decided to make pancakes with apple filling. While I was stewing grated apples in a pan with butter, the thought came to my mind that I could prepare such a filling for pancakes for the winter.
At first I wanted to freeze the ready-made filling, but then I looked - sl. a small piece of butter remained, there is no desire to run to the store. And that I should throw a frozen briquette with apples into the pan in the winter, add sugar, cinnamon and stew.
Grated a couple of kilograms of apples and packed them in flat bags. Now I looked, they were already frozen, they did not darken at all. I think there will be a cool filling in winter, tomorrow I want to continue to dispose of the rest of the apples. The autumn ones are still lying, waiting for their turn.

If we are talking about the first complementary foods, then I would still recommend that you start with industrial ones, and then, from 9 months, switch to your vegetables.

Who froze zucchini, cauliflower for baby food (first food)?

she also froze vegetables for the child: she peeled the zucchini and pumpkin and cut it into strips straight into the freezer, and first bought the cauliflower, and when her own went, she blanched and then froze it, and then, like Tina, cooked
There is a frozen whole feijoa (my daughter, in my absence, did not know what to do with it and froze it) now I don’t know what to cook with it, I made jam from fresh one, and what can be done with ice cream? Tell me pliz

and what can be done with ice cream? Tell me pliz

The same thing - crank with sugar, boil compote, and so on ...

Can you please tell me if the chokeberry behaves well in freezing? Rather, after defrosting

[notka_notka]

notka_notka, after freezing, the black chokeberry is much tastier than freshly picked. I ice a freshly picked black chokeberry for two days on purpose, and then I cook syrup from it. I tried not to freeze, not, not that coat, frozen is much more fragrant and tastier.

If we are talking about the first complementary foods, then I would still recommend that you start with industrial ones, and then, from 9 months, switch to your vegetables.

And what is the reason? Wrong taste or something? I still want to feed a child naturally and relatively environmentally friendly, at least at an early age. I don't really trust purchased banks.

The fact is that in industrial facilities everything is balanced, and plus it is safe, which is just necessary for kids. All firms that produce baby food undergo various checks, including fruits and vegetables for nitrates, etc. And those vegetables that we buy in the markets, we cannot say about their safety. That is why I (maybe I am a pediatrician) always recommend mothers to start complementary foods with industrial jars.

[Olga]

And those vegetables that we buy in the markets

Olga, but I realized that we are talking about homemade vegetables, I grow them myself, for example, and I don't think that purchased canned vegetables will be better than mine grown without any fertilizers

[Creamy]

CreamyAlevtina, thanks for the advice. So, I will freeze it with a calm soul.

Olgushechka81, we are talking about our own vegetables, of course. But I understand you, Olga. Thank you.

[Svetulechka]

Inna, I’ll give you another idea from feijoa, last year I froze it rubbed with sugar, I really liked it

Svetulechka, and how much sugar did you add, a little more likely, right?

Olgushechka81, we are talking about our own vegetables, of course. But I understand you, Olga. Thank you.

Its own, this is very good, but again in composition they may differ, plus physiological mineral and vitamin complexes are selected in industrial ones. You and I can make mashed zucchini by taking different amounts of the product, and if necessary, we cannot calculate how much and what our child ate (B, F, U). And of course, everyone chooses what he sees fit.

I sit, read and think that it reminds me terribly? I remembered. Constant disputes between dog breeders about drying food (balanced, vitamins!) And natural food (these are natural products!).
I never mind canned baby food. I do not see anything terrible in it, there is control of vegetables / fruits, meat / fish, etc. This is a good thing and - especially !!)) - making life easier for parents. But. For me, there is one big but. For this very quality of product control and compliance with technical regulations, I trust only giants, time-tested, such as Gerber, Semper, Hipp's organic line. I didn't even buy the Khayntsevsky porridge - they had sugar in them. I took Slovenia Baby. And this kind of food comes out so expensive that ... I don’t believe our manufacturers yet, kill me. I have been living in this country for too long))). For example, our regulations for the production of regular juice turned out to be stricter in a number of indicators than for babies. I remember that for a long time experts figured out how it happened))). And everywhere we have it so "sloppy".Therefore, buying in trusted places (large chains where the turnover is high and the storage conditions are maintained and trusted producers or their own. even slightly different, albeit slightly different consistency of puree, slightly different amount of product. Children are also not identical and are not cut according to one pattern)). Their gastrointestinal tract is different (in the sense that it reacts differently to food), their appetite and taste preferences are different. Fooling around until gramules, taking into account the consistency (thicker / thinner) - something completely wild ...

I agree with Nata, especially considering the fact that most of the country lives away from shopping centers, and cooking your own is always better than buying something unknown, as you don't want to experiment. Our mothers fed us like this ...... without purchased jars ....... And I will make a reservation right away, I am not against progress ..... but I trust my own food more than even the medical standards of preparation. At least I know exactly what I put in the jar.

This year the weather does not spoil us at all. The potatoes are small for the most part. Freshly harvested small potatoes in a bucket were cleaned with a brush on a drill, rubbed on a combine. I made potato pancakes (potatoes, salt, egg) in the Princess, in the vacuum and in the freezer. I defrost it in the microwave (the crust of the potato pancakes becomes soft), and in the Princess immediately on re-frying - excellent. Maybe my experience is useful to someone.

potatoes in a bucket with a brush on a drill peeled

by hand, just a brush with a brush all the vegetables in a basin or a bucket of mine for 25 years, but with a drill ...

I saw something on YouTube, decided to repeat this experiment, I bought a brush for the toilet specially. And in the bucket

I saw something on YouTube

and I twisted a stick at my father-in-law in a large bucket, in which vegetable trifles with water = soaps for the cattle

I froze the zucchini. And now I think where you can use them besides soup? Can someone tell me.

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, frozen zucchini can be used wherever fresh ones are used. It depends on the form in which they are frozen.
My grated zucchini go into pancakes, minced meat. Diced into soups, stews, sabachulka in porridge sometimes I add. And I also freeze zucchini, cut into slices (in circles). In winter, it goes well with mayonnaise, herbs and garlic.

[Tatyana]

And now I think where you can use them besides soup?

Tatyana, I really like rice by this recipe.

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, I fry vegetables, including zucchini, you can just eat it, I often fill it with eggs, very tasty Om years. I fry vegetables over high heat, often stir, then the vegetables are fresh, do not deoxidize

Thanks girls I'll try

[Girls]

Girls, no one tried to freeze salted herring, pre-cut into pieces or cubes?

It would be great to cut several selledin at once, shove them into containers and into the freezer, and as soon as you think about which salad, rrrraz and you're done !!!

Now Tanya-Admin they'll kick me in the ass will come and say: "What's the problem? Freeze half of the herring, try and tell us ..."

[Inna]

Inna, salted herring tolerates freezing well! On New Year's Eve I bought a lot (as it turned out) and cleaned and froze some of them with fillets, it is wonderful then thawed and as good as new! Now I do it! Filles are defrosting very quickly, in my opinion it is better not to cut them first before freezing.

[Inna]

Inna, in the fall of 14, we in Silpo had an action for fillets of Norwegian herring. Then I remember I took a lot of this fillet, it was so tasty and fat, packed well and frozen. Then all winter and so just ate with potatoes, and made a fur coat. It really helped me then, that frozen fillet.
I just agree with Yulia, don't cut it into pieces, freeze it with fillets.

[Admin]

Now Tanya-Admin they'll kick me in the ass will come and say: "What's the problem? Freeze half of the herring, try and tell us ..."

True truth! No problem
The herring can be frozen - you're in luck! And the girls write correctly, it is better to use files.

I often freeze lightly salted salmon-trout. When salted well, I leave part for food, and part in a whole piece in foil-paper and in a bag in the freezer. Lies perfectly! Or I divide a large piece into 2-3 smaller pieces, and also into the freezer, then I take it out in portions.

Maybe someone will come in handy, during the fishing season I take herring and chum salmon in boxes. The whole herring, without cutting, and the chum salmon about 1 kg roughly cut and before freezing in vacuum bags I salt (salt + sugar + black pepper) about 10% of the weight. All in the freezer. Then you take it out and without opening the package for two days the fish will be salted in the refrigerator. If you do not need salted, then defrost the bag immediately
And I don't defrost the purchased fish. Divided into fish, chopped chum with an ax. A ready-made salt mixture, a fish (or a piece) in a bag, there is also a mixture for salting and solder everything

[Girls]

better files

In some cases, personally to me, cubes for example, for salad or herring under a fur coat it would be much more convenient, and you don't need to stain the board), poured out of the container, mixed and the job is ready ...

I hate to wash all the accessories involved in cutting herring ...

Girls, my dears, many human thanks to you all for the science !!!

Finished cutting, went to freeze ...

Actually, Putin is already underway. Has already frozen completely, it freezes less over the winter. But you should try with vacuum, thanks !!

[Girls]

Girls, can you make jam / confiture from frozen apples?

Has anyone tried it?

Has anyone tried

freezer owners have to rush freezer internals from time to time

yeah, cooked = the same as from fresh ones, only they give more juice, that is, the jams are more syrupy

if you need jam - I would have scooped the syrup a little separately in a bottle, it will come in handy, it is very rich, and I blended the rest of it b = here is the jam-confiture

Very rich and compote is obtained from frozen berries. Somehow my husband and I collected a bucket of cherries, but we didn't have to roll it up right away, one bucket went into the freezer. Soon I poured these berries. First, I put them in jars, poured sugar, they thawed and immediately gave the juice and took the sugar into themselves. Then completely thawed, warmed berries were poured with boiling water. The compote made of frozen cherries was simply amazing, and the cherries themselves were discolored more than fresh ones.

[Irishka]

urge

What are they forced to do with the insides?

Thank you very much, Irishka !!!

I'll go to Antonovka to chop up the winter jam !!!

And what is easier, right now to cook jam from Antonovka, from fresh apples?
Than the place in the freezer to take apples
After all, jam can be packed in liter jars and it will stand for years - here's your space saving

And the quality of the product will be much higher and tastier - when fresh apples

what are you, deffchata, happy - you have Antonovka there, in masks, growing up, real in childhood, I remember, we will receive a parcel from relatives from near Tula, so the box for all the mail smelled like apples, went with dad, about 5-6 years I was

[Tanyush]

the quality of the product will be much higher

Yes ?

Thought ...

If quality suffers, it is no longer good ...

And what is easier, right now to cook jam from Antonovka, from fresh apples?

I don't have time Tanyush !!!

So many things at once ...

Than the place in the freezer to take apples

So I have a lot of it now !!!

If quality suffers

it does not suffer much if the apples are frozen good

there will be slightly different jams at the exit, it is understandable, the structure of apples changes when frozen

Inna, if you still have an apple laying ahead, I can advise this: put the sliced ​​apples in bags and sprinkle them with sugar, let them lie down for an hour before freezing, let the juice go a little and be sugared

candied fruits-berries do not freeze to death and then boil less during cooking

[Inna]

Inna, well, everyone has his own!

Antonovka can lie on the balcony for several days.
And if you cut it into jam and cover it with sugar, then you need to cook it every other day for a few minutes - that's saving time.
And do not spoil the product and cook well. And save time.

And the freezer can be hammered with tomatoes and fresh cucumbers (cubes) for salads, sweet peppers for cabbage soup and cooking. Sorrel and so on ... you can find what you need to hammer Eggplant puree to make

Think what is most important to you

So I have a lot of it now

well, why do you need to cook frozen apples later, since you have a more vitamin-preserving way of storing the crop

tady for sure - sprinkle with sugar, the slices are more elastic and like filling in pies, and when defrosting - well, like living

Ladies, can you ice a quince? They gave me homemade, small, but fragrant. Or what is the best thing to do with it?

Japanese quince or common quince?

[Irish]

Antonovka can lie on the balcony for several days.

But there is no ... balcony, in the sense) ...

In the refrigerator, two drawers under Antonovka's stitch are stuffed ... more does not fit nowhere ...

Make eggplant puree

Puree?

And where is it after?

In addition to caviar, nothing is invented on the fly) ...

Think what is most important to you

I will think about it tomorrow ... I promise ...

sprinkle with sugar, the slices are more elastic and like filling in pies, and when defrosting - well, like living

When used as pie filling, defrost beforehand, Irish ?

can you ice quince?

Natasha, I successfully frozen, both Japanese and ordinary ...
