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

[mamusi]

mamusi, thanks, I'll try
I respect eggplants in any form



svetta, Svetochka, thank you very much!

[svetta]

svetta, I made a blank for caviar in jars when I was young, while it was probably not so left. And I was more interested in all sorts of blanks. Yes, and then I did not have freezers, I was not familiar with the freezing of vegetables. I covered it with caviar and with such a blank, baked eggplants, peppers and tomatoes in a jar. But our caviar from cans did not go before, but such a preparation went well. Only mine did not like minced caviar through a meat grinder, but only sliced ​​caviar.
mamusi,
Rita, I probably didn't write it exactly. I didn’t take your post as a lesson, I just wanted to unsubscribe that I hadn’t guessed to immediately throw my stale tomatoes into the freezer. I already wanted to twist them again for juice, but then I looked into the topic and went straight to the street with packages to pack

The girls and I would be grateful if you could tell me to use baked eggplants.

And is it possible to roll them up somehow, otherwise there is nowhere in the freezer .......

[Marusya]

Marusya, here's a recipe https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=497999.0

[Admin]

Admin, we are eating something badly. Yes, and here it turns out hotter.

[svetta]

svetta, Thank you so much! The recipe is very necessary And many thanks for the lazy jam!

[svetta]

svetta, Svetul, this is better:

Frozen semi-finished products for caviar / stew (light)

[mamusi]

mamusi, thanks for your help, I will not master this science in any way.

And where to add all this? I'm sorry if I ask stupid questions

Maroussia, the eggplant recipe that I posted under the spoiler is a ready-made dish. You can defrost it and eat it. This is a variation of the recipe

I have already stuck dumplings with potatoes, and also sent them to freeze. And the place in the chest melts before our eyes

Girls. and they treated me to arugula, and so in abundance. Can I freeze it? or unpromising?

As far as I know, green mashed soups are prepared from arugula, with vegetables - so you can try freezing

Girls, tell me, please, did anyone freeze the basil? How does he behave? And the arugula is also interesting to listen to.

[mylik.sv]

mylik.sv, Elena, I was freezing basil. I didn’t like it, it became somewhat "liquid" and the aroma was not at all the same. I no longer freeze any greens except parsley and dill.

[Canned food]

Canned food, Svetlana, thank you!
I used to freeze purple basil straight with lemonade sprigs, so yes, it looked kind of shitty. But he went to drink. But in ol. I tried butter from Admin, and mixed with butter, I liked it so much. But, like, it flashed somewhere in the subject that people froze, I thought that it might be possible.

Tanya, thanks, the idea with the puree soup is great. It is clear that after freezing arugula will no longer be suitable for salad, but you can try it in soup).

Girls, tell me, please, did anyone freeze the basil? How does he behave? And the arugula is also interesting to listen to.

The best option is to pour olive oil over the basil and store it in the refrigerator (but no garlic !!)

Girls, I'm freezing eggplant for rolls. Very simple. I cut the eggplant lengthwise into thin slices, salt, wipe it with a paper towel. Fry in a frying pan until tender and lay out on the film and on a cutting board one at a time. I freeze it. Then everything is in the package. They will not stick together anymore.And in winter, get it out, defrost it and make rolls with cheese and garlic, with cottage cheese and herbs! Whoever likes it !! Lazy and tasty !!!

[Irisha]

I am always smiled "lazily"
Why is it lazy if so much preliminary work has been invested in the preparation of eggplant? After all, it still had to work hard, cut thinly, fry, roll - the whole evening was probably spent on this

Irisha, the idea with the blanks is great, I bookmark

I am always smiled "lazily"

Here's me too!
But here it meant, probably, that in winter we will be lazy when we get ready-made and ... yum!
And outside the window it is cold, I want to bite ... Delicious in the bins already! You don't have to go anywhere!

But here it meant, probably, that in winter we will be lazy when we get ready-made and ... yum!

I understand all this, but it was born because "it did not fall from the sky", and a tremendous amount of work has been invested
Then our lecho-caviar-sote-cucumbers for the winter are also lazy? opened a can in winter and crackle lazily at the TV

God forbid, I don’t want to offend the author, and indeed no one at all. So, once again reflections on

Girls, it's time to prepare!

Give your LAZY freezer recipes WE WILL ORDER SEPARATE RECIPES!

And for yourself in your profile, the number of recipes will increase, and for everyone else as a keepsake and joy!

Something has become fashionable on the forum to be lazy and even separate recipes
A lazy person will not get ready for the winter or any other season, he is too lazy ...



Garlic is tasty and simple!
Frozen cucumbers. And with horseradish.

Not lazy at all, but quite simple.
As well as freezing any other vegetable, fruit, berries.

And I also have "lazy" recipes:

Take

Homemade meat stock cubes (Admin)

add

Red borscht according to Lazerson + Borsch dressing for the freezer (preparing for future use!) (Admin)

boil for 3 minutes - and delicious homemade borscht is ready! What is not a lazy dish

Laughter laughter, and I am already preparing borscht and cabbage soup in this way from fresh autumn vegetables - I will be lazy later and in winter

And I'm not offended at all. Everything is correct! I just didn't think it could be a recipe. Just please note that I ice not rolls, but eggplant plates (well, this is just in case).

I ice not rolls, but eggplant plates (well, this is just in case).

Very valuable experience (for me)
And I also do this: it may be useful to someone. When I'm making a salad

Salad with Haze "Eggplant in the company" (flame divider) (mamusi)

then I separate part of the eggplant (always when I bake ~ I make a couple of extra ones), cut it in half and take out the pulp with a spoon. Then I add lightly and pack in small 200g disposable containers. So I have a decent amount of such boxes!
Opened in winter ~ it melts quickly, you can add onion and oil and a ready-made dish. It smells like that! This is our delicacy! And with fried potatoes! You can do this and pepper ~ separately or together. It depends, of course, what kind of family. We're few. And often I'm alone. Such a jar is enough for my beloved.

[Ira]

I just didn't think it could be a recipe. Just please note that I ice not rolls, but eggplant plates

Ira, for us everything will fit and everything is important, because the fantasy "what else can be cooked" leaves behind the ordinary daily recipes
And such a recipe hint is very useful.

And while it's still time to prepare, let's go to the studio with our secrets, everything will work, we will have time to cook in the winter

Well then, more! A friend came from Georgia. I saw enough of all kinds of yummy there. I blender tomatoes and ice cream, and she saw that they evaporate moisture from them first, and then they let them in. So I decided! Places take up much less and are very concentrated! Delicious!!! almost tomato paste, only homemade !!

they evaporate moisture from them first, and then they start up.

And I do the same - I evaporate the liquid-raw juice, and then I canning. Concentrated and tasty pasta turns out like a sauce, an addition to somewhere, sauce on a pizza - it will be
Yesterday, only 5 kg of tomatoes twisted with such a sauce And such a paste turns out much tastier, it does not smell like raw tomatoes

[Admin]

RAdmin, please teach me how to preserve. The basement is large, you can store jars

[Ira]

Ha! Irawhat exactly to preserve? The forum has all my recipes, I can answer questions - ask

If we're talking about tomato sauce, I'll post the recipe later
Today is my day of idleness, yesterday I was tired of blanks

[Admin]

Admin, I admire your recipes, I study, I do! The question is about tomato sauce. Many of their tomatoes are substandard. Thank you!

The question is about freezing rounds. Is it possible to freeze raw and use for browning or marinating? Or is it better to freeze the fried one?
Perhaps you already have experience?

You can freeze peppers in any form, both raw and sautéed.

Thank you

Girls, hello everyone! Photos of my grapes from the garden (frozen for testing) and thawed "by shock defrosting with boiling water" from Irsha.
It turned out perfect ~ ate right there. How fresh.


Maybe someone will come in handy. Who grows a lot of grapes. Or just the brush will remain uneaten ~ try to keep it that way!
Now 2 boxes are frozen. It will be very tasty in winter. Just in the bottom drawers refrigerator I store dry grapes on tassels until December. And now I will be with grapes all winter until spring.
Thank you, Irsha!

Rit, I also froze the plum too, 5 kg, and grapes also 5 kg, a bit of garden blackcurrant, now only 5 liters have been harvested ..

[Irsha]

Irsha, and in what form? Halves or puree?

[Elena]

Elena, pitted, I have a plum stone scraper, cuts from one side. "Leifheit"

cool charlotte or biscuit

I wonder if different varieties probably look different after defrosting?
My noname plum gave off juice in half and remained a rag with a rag. This season I decided to try it as a puree, but haven't thawed it yet.

I only take prunes. well, that's his name in the markets. probably it is Hungarian = large berry, sweet, dense, the stone separates well.

It does not creep when defrosting.

[Irsha]

Irsha, Irina, I have the same plum as you have in the video. Normal after freezing?
There is a box, I don't know what to do with it, I don't want to cook.
Where to read about the shock defrosting method?

shock defrosting method?

put a bowl (cup) of berries (not raspberries, strawberries, strawberries and the like) currants, cherries, plums, grapes - whole, well-frozen, pour boiling water = water instantly cold, thawed berry

There is a box, I don't know what to do with it, I don't want to cook.

And dry? = some pluses = no sugar, the freezer does not fill, tasty and healthy, put in your mouth and suck-chew like a toffee.

You can blanch, + a little sugar, or without sugar and freeze - also very much space is saved in the freezer. = or make a marshmallow

There is a box, I don't know what to do with it, I don't want to cook.
Where to read about the shock defrosting method?

Into the dryer. In halves and into the dryer. I've been doing this for the second year.

[Irina]

Irina, mamusi, Thank you. The dryer is not important, primitive, without a fan. I can't decide on a new one.
I don't want to twist it with sugar, because I twisted a lot of raspberries (pitted), peaches, dogwood, black currants, they will be a priority.
I wanted to use it for pies later. Probably I'll just freeze it in halves or quarters. I just wanted to know how this variety, after defrosting, does not creep?

From my observations of frozen plum: it does not always behave adequately when defrosting, and often becomes just "jelly" in the peel.

Optimally, if the plum is dried in halves, dried in a dryer (or in the oven) to remove excess juice, and it has lost weight, and in this form, put it in the freezer for storage. The taste will be preserved, the appearance will also be preserved, and the weight will be much reduced.
It will not be damaged when defrosting.You can dry it with spices, it will be even tastier.

Plum, small, dried (semi-dried)

[annnushka27]

annnushka27, All the same, it is better to dry-dry, as Tanya says. At least half-ready to dry up ~ it's already cool in the freezer. Doesn't freeze. That's what I do.
If the oven is gas, can you dry it in it? At 50 degrees. In electro, you can also drive it more expensive, but it's worth it.

Girls who frozen melon? How does freezing taste? Yesterday my son bought a big, sweet one, but my husband and I somehow do not really like her, we prefer a watermelon. There was no place for her in the refrigerator and the idea came to freeze her until it went bad.

[velli]

velli, Valentine, peel and cut into cubes, you can zip bags, and feel free to freeze! The main thing is that the melon is sweet! Do not lose the taste! Good luck!

The dryer is not important, primitive, without a fan.

Is it a rug * infrared *? Put it in a draft - there will be a good dryer - the main drying condition will be met = heat from below + air movement.

to remove excess juice
