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

Girls help out ... Subnets for pie "Bulin apple" ... Now they sell very fragrant and tasty apples, so I'm thinking, but if you make this pie and freeze (without baking) .... How do you think the dough will behave after defrosting ?

[alena40]

alena40, I can't say anything specifically about this cake, but I freeze the finished baked goods constantly, as well as fresh apples, both in slices and in whole

Can you please tell me if it is possible to freeze bread cutlets, and for what period (approximately)?
p.s. bread cutlets (minced meat / onion / bread)

Some strange name - bread cutlets Made from bread only?

Can! Any cutlets, and with meat and bread, and with onions, and on the same bread

3-6 months can be stored in (freezer / freezer / chest freezer)?
p.s. I call the bread cutlets because I have heard this since childhood =) Cutlets with the addition of bread, the rest of the filling (garlic / carrots / rice / etc. is already to taste)

Maybe I'm wrong, but in my experience, you need to freeze finished baked goods, except for puff pastry.
After defrosting when baking:
yeast dough suffers from uneven rise and sweating of the filling, if any;
Sandy cakes and becomes rough;
Dough with baking powder, such as cookies, becomes viscous and uneven.

Ice cream regularly pies, pizza, cakes, Ready-made cutlets, lasagne

Girls! Can't you freeze salads? Olivier there or a herring under a fur coat.

Girls! Can't you freeze salads? Olivier there or a herring under a fur coat.

Freeze a portion of the salad for a sample, and defrost it after 12 hours and taste - how to taste?
If you like it, then you can put the whole pan of salad in the freezer

Not all vegetables remain tasty after defrosting, do not flow, and retain their shape

Boiled potatoes after freezing and defrosting are obtained. And she is a component of these salads.

Eh, where did I cook so much.

[Evgeniya]

Evgeniya, I did not freeze ready-made salads. Only boiled potatoes.
Wait, maybe someone will respond from those who froze the finished salad.

I confirm. Freeze herring under a fur coat. The potato tastes bad. Everything else in this salad behaves decently.

Yes, potatoes, carrots and beets after freezing and defrosting are watery and tasteless ...
Olivier is still so and so, but a fur coat is generally impossible to eat ...

A couple of years ago I froze Olivier and vinaigrette, but without dressing. It is quite edible. After defrosting, you need to drain the liquid a little and then refill.

I have everything with mayonnaise already (((Some sickly guests have gone)))

I haven't tried it with mayonnaise.Probably you can risk freezing, then also drain the liquid a little and add fresh mayonnaise. Rather than just throwing it away, it's better to try to save. By the way, the same story was with jellied meat, something was always thrown away. And once I threw it into the freezer. After a while, I boiled it over and everything was ok.

Last year I froze Olivier without refueling. Quite normal taste, not just cooked, of course, but normal. Today I also threw Olivier into the freezer without refueling. Then I will defrost it, fill it and eat it with pleasure. I didn’t want to do much, but my son asked him to do it with him to meet with friends. I did it with a reserve, and when I began to pack it with me, it turned out that much was not needed and the other guys would also bring a lot of food. So I stayed again ...

Girls! about fresh frozen cucumbers. I liked it very, very much (y) In any salads it tastes like fresh, only the appearance is translucent. On the advice of Admin, I put the salad directly from the freezer into the salad (they are already chopped on the Berner grater), fill it with dressing, and that's it, I wait for it to thaw, periodically stirring the salad. I also cooked Greek with them (the tomatoes are still ground, they were on!), And a salad of fresh cabbage, and just cucumbers, tomatoes, onions with rast dressing. oil, and on the principle of Korean carrots. Everywhere super, crunch! Zucchini - not yet very good. liked it. I fried them without defrosting them in a pan (also already sliced) and poured them with an egg, it turned out to be porridge-malasha, but I wanted pieces. I think they will be good in a vegetable stew, I haven't done it yet. And so I freeze almost everything, because my garden, pepper is very, very (y) Eggplants this year I froze on the advice of the forum baked and without the skin, defrosted, covered with soy sauce and rast. butter and adding basil in oil with garlic from the freezer (Admin recipe), like fresh! Many thanks to all the girls

About zucchini. I froze zucchini in various forms: grated on a coarse grater, diced and blanched circles. So, I haven't tried the grated ones yet (I wanted to make pancakes), the cubes were not impressed - the byaka is rare, but I thawed the blanched circles, slightly blotted them with paper towels, and rolled them in salted flour, fried them. It turned out very tasty, you can't tell from fresh ones.

[notka_notka]

notka_notka,

In cubes - make mashed potatoes with a blender and add to the minced cutlet or minced meat for dumplings / manti. Your native grown zucchini will benefit: fiber and juiciness.

[Scarecrow]

ScarecrowNata, thanks. Need to try

You can also use zucchini in the form of mashed potatoes in bread, like pumpkin.

I add cubes of zucchini to the stew. True, they dissolve there))) But this is because in Shtebe I make and lay everything at once - meat, and potatoes with cabbage, and zucchini with pumpkin. The kids and I love the squash diced scrambled eggs. This is where they feel very well. While the omelet is fried, they only have time to defrost and grab a little.

grated on a coarse grater

I'm so special for the soup beef I freeze with zucchini), mine love ...

cubes were not impressed - byaka is rare,

in the manti = and you don't have to add water to the minced meat = good juiciness

Girls, with frozen zucchini try this:

I constantly freeze zucchini for this dish, of course not in the same way as with fresh ones, but also very tasty. And then there is an interesting soup with zucchini and cream ...

True, not on our forum, but does not allow you to insert the correct link ...

Last year I didn't like the frozen zucchini with washers. In this, I only froze the cubes. I make scrambled eggs with vegetables with them, add to soups, borscht, fresh salad instead of cucumbers, vegetable stew.
In general, I now make vegetable salads like this, from freezing: zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, there are also fresh half of an apple, a radish (if any) and greens, recently I bought a celery stalk, it's delicious!
Oh, I forgot, I'm finishing it, Omeline rice and pasta I make with them - yummy !!!

Washers can be converted into cubes.
Ice cream for soup, yummy.

And last year I froze a lot of zucchini for my grandson. Frosts are mainly cubed so that they cook faster. They were just starting to feed them with vegetables and he loved squash puree from jars. Why pay that kind of money when there are plenty of our own We had enough frozen zucchini until the new harvest ...

Thanks for the advice girls. I will definitely use

I ice the zucchini in cubes, then when I cook the puree soup, I definitely add it.

and what do zucchini in soup give? where else to add them?

And about feijoa someone will answer me? really needed! Today I put one small container in the freezer for the sake of experiment. Anyone have any experience with long-term storage of feijoa in the freezer?

I saw the topic late, but better late. At one time I made such a jam, it turned out very tasty, I just added a lemon or an orange. After defrosting, the flavor did not change.

[mowgli]

mowgli, I'm making a mashed zucchini soup. I love him very much.
I make dranniki: frozen grated zucchini + potatoes (fresh) on a grater.
Add the grated zucchini to the minced cutlet. Well, etc.

For the first time I froze grapes, black currants - I really like everything.
I freeze lightly boiled asparagus beans - I cook and seem to be returning to summer.

Frozen grapes for the first time
tell me, how do you use it, probably it is just there, it becomes soft? or just frozen in your mouth

Girls! about fresh frozen cucumbers. I liked it very, very much (y) In any salads, it tastes like fresh, only the appearance is translucent. On the advice of Admin, I put it in the salad straight from the freezer (I already have them chopped on a Berner grater), fill it with dressing, and that's it, I wait for it to thaw, periodically stirring the salad. Many thanks to all the girls

So I didn’t know :) there were a lot of cucumbers, but time was short. I will definitely try.

Frozen grapes for the first time

I put it in a cup, pour boiling water, instantly the water is cold, the grapes are completely fresh = if you just eat.

it is just as good to defrost any dense berry - currants, cherries.

well + frozen grapes, like any other berry, into wines for cooling, and berries from alcohol - any - are also delicious.

into the dough + without defrosting.

decorate the cakes = also frozen, after gradual thawing, they also do not soak, the berry is dense

I eat slightly frozen. I have never completely melted, I simply don’t have enough patience for this.
But you need to freeze really sweet and tasty, aromatic grapes.

Girls, can any grapes be frozen? And garden Isabella? It is smallish in our country, late, and does not always have time to ripen to sweetness. But the compote is delicious. Even the thought did not arise to freeze him

[Taya]

Taya, Thank you. Looked

Isabella will give an unmatched smell in compotes. and adjust the sweetness with sugar.

[notka_notka]

notka_notka, I thought that among the scribbling you did not notice the right thing. This is for you, from our dacha.


Tusya Tasya, it is clear that the sugar can be adjusted in the compote.
And we are talking about (sort of) to just eat frozen grapes.
Sometimes a bunch of grapes does not ripen evenly, it turns out sweeter from one side.I peeled a bunch of grapes from the twigs and into a bag. And now I felt the difference, some berries, which are unripe, do not taste very good. And sugar from above will not save.

[week of rest]

Girls! I have a request for you all. I have my own business, a small wedding salon. Who can join my group week of rest ... In three years I will not recruit people (. If I broke the rules, forgive the moderators and delete. Thank you).

[notka_notka]

Taya, so about the compote notka_notka, wrote. And she asked if it was possible to freeze. so I realized that everything will go to the compote. For food, it is clear that you need ripe, sugary. Whether to freeze it or not.

Well, just eating our Isabella is not very good. So, if you indulge a little. Its current into the compote I simply did not even imagine that grapes can be frozen - any. During the season, you can also be cheaper than in winter, and buy varietals at the bazaar to freeze.
Thank you girls for the advice

I also love jelly from Lydia or Isabella, even if I do not cook it from just one grape, but add a little of it for flavor. And you can also cook the most fragrant jam, but you are too lazy to mess with the bones - wipe it. The second disadvantage of the jam from Lydia and Isabella is that it cannot be put in the refrigerator - small crystals of tartar form and spoil everything.
