Preparation of meatballs and not only in silicone ice molds

[Nata]

Nata, it is more convenient to whom. I used a zip, and I evacuated it, I can't make it so that it takes up all the space in the freezer, it doesn't work without voids and evenly. And I, when I make a lot of preparations for 2-3 buckets of vegetables only, returned to ordinary, but dense packages. When using, they do not break, I wrap it back in the same way and into place, only the cigarettes are shortened. But here the ability to play "Tetris" will help me

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka,

Do you have these vegetables three times to cook? Well, I mean, this is a "log"? Well, Duc and why do you need a thick bag? It is logical. I'm talking about greens, which are in the same package for a year until the end. And it opens / closes three hundred times this year)).

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka,

well yes. Sometimes in the form of a seasoning for soups, sometimes in the form of an additional side dish, sometimes just in a sauce, that is, one cigarette can fly away in 1-2 times, sometimes longer. Although the greens are still there. Somehow I got used to it and I'm more comfortable than something else I've tried.

I'm talking about greens, which are in the same package for a year until the end. And it opens / closes three hundred times this year)).

Oh, girls, and I also have to make a discount on my husband's playful little hands! I use ikeevsky zips in the freezer for freezing. And I ice cucumbers, and greens, and even sauerkraut. But the greens are my pain. Once I asked my husband to give greens, so then I found these greens all over the box !: I did not close the zip, because this small greens got into the zip, which he scooped up with his bare hand and which stuck to him and throughout the kitchen in in the end, damn it. I almost killed you !!! So greens in small, necrochid squares and insulated cigars is our crooked choice.

[Ilmirushka]

I cut it finely and just ice it. And then, when I get it, then a bit of salt and butter, if just for bread. If with an egg in tartlets, then with mayonnaise or sour cream, SKUSNENKO!

Ilmirushka, if you cut now, then probably leaves, right? And then we sell "trunks" with still unblown leaves, but this is seasonal, only in the spring

[Sveta]

Sveta, with us it all starts later, in May it is still snowing ...
Ramson, of course, I take a young one, whose stems are soft, and the leaves are still tender, juicy.

And I ice cucumbers

And how do you like them after defrosting ??

[Olya]

Olya, in winter okroshka or Olivier nobody has noticed the substitution yet! In Novgorod-style gravy (where pickled cucumber is needed, but we can't pick salted cucumber), it makes no difference - stew anyway. In a children's pickle or in minced meat for cutlets / meatballs - it doesn't matter at all whether it's ice cream or not.

And how do you like them after defrosting ??

I will answer instead ... without defrosting, rubbing into a salad, watery, but zapaaah

[Nastenka, Ilmirochka]

Nastenka, Ilmirochka, oh, you can't even imagine how you helped me !! Thank you so much

And I also studied Temka, studied ... Even in winter. As a result, I ordered forms for large cubes on Ali. First, 2 to four cubes. And then I realized that I need it, and ordered two more for 8 and with lids)) what a beauty !!! So far, only the broth was frozen, but everything is ahead.Summer has just begun, we have just had the first greens)) Such space saving in the freezer! And how convenient! A cube per serving - berries, carrots, mushrooms.
Thanks for the idea!

[Elena]

Elena, throw, please, refer to 8 with caps

[Katerina]

Katerina, I ordered these. They were discounted, two together with delivery cost 950 rubles. Expensive, of course. But the usual price without caps is also about 500 - 600 rubles. And for some reason they are rarely found in Russia. Although a shop appeared in May, it was even more expensive.

And I still boast! All summer my four forms are at work, I have frozen a lot of berries, zucchini, cucumbers (all with a blender or a vegetable cutter). And how convenient! For children I constantly make compotes from berries - any two cubes for 1.5 liters of water, plus a slice of lemon or mint, while there is fresh in the garden - they drink a day! I have already tried zucchini in soups - the cube is generally imperceptible, like it is not. Some people still think that they don't eat zucchini. Oladiki for children - a couple of cubes + egg and flour = multi-baker))
In general, these forms are sooooo handy. And what a space saving!

[Elena]

Elena, yeah .. a little expensive, but very cool!
I wanted something like this for the broth. and how much liquid is included in one cell?

for some reason they are rarely found in Russia

Today I saw it in Auchan, I was even tempted by 8 cubes, without a lid - 399 rubles

I wanted something like this for the broth. and how much liquid is included in one cell?

At the beginning of the topic, it was said somewhere that one form for 8 cells includes a liter of liquid and 5x5x5 cells. Mine are a little smaller, the liter is definitely not included, the cells are somewhere 4.7x4.7x4.7. Whether to save steel material, or how lucky with the purchase. I didn't weigh the cubes, but somewhere a little more than 100 ml will enter

Today I saw it in Auchan, I was even tempted by 8 cubes, without a lid - 399 rubles

Great! And the size? Who is the manufacturer?
If the cubes are 5x5x5, or a little less, then a very good buy. They are not cheaper on Ali either. And the lid is just an additional convenience, especially if you freeze liquid

Who is the manufacturer?

Manufacturer by barcode - France, slightly higher - Hong Kong, manufacturer China. There is no smell, the top is very hard, it is comfortable to hold. It seems that it is not very necessary, but I took it in my hands - the quality is excellent, there was not enough resistance to put back Size 5x5x5, three colors, I took the most beautiful

Today I saw it in Auchan, I was even tempted by one by 8 cubes, without a lid - 399 rubles

Cool form, I would not refuse this either) We must look at our Auchan.

On Ali I saw this form. They talked a lot about the correspondence of dumplings and silicone molds.
Just don't quite understand, this form seems to be not silicone?

[Elena]

Elena, no, not silicone, it says in the review.

by flattening
Thank you! )

Good afternoon, everyone, but when you take out the freeze from the mold, you wrap it with a film?

[Kassandra26]

Good afternoon, everyone, but when you take out the freeze from the mold, you wrap it with a film?

Kassandra26, Anna, Hello to you, too! This is how storage in the freezer is organized. If we are talking about honeycomb meatballs, then I store them in ikeevsky bags with a double lock. And if the freeze is in the form of a cube, then, judging by the reviews of the members of the forum, it is convenient to store in tetrapak containers from juice, etc. Such containers are probably in a transparent bag with a clothespin on top and in the freezer

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki, I understood this, I will also try) I want to order the form on Ali with a large cube, and from Horse into a small cube. And then I wondered if the cubes would stick together during storage without a wrapped film.

Horse has very good silicone. Great choice. And about sticking together - can someone tell me more precisely, I think there will be no problems. And if they suddenly stick, grunt on the countertop, and that's it

Your truth) thank you

[Kassandra26]

Kassandra26, Anna, I do not ice meatballs that much and do not use honeycombs or tetrapacks. I ice cream in silicone molds, and then transfer the frozen product into pebbles into a regular bag, tie it tightly and back into the freezer. During storage, the main thing is that there is no access-outflow of air, so that the product does not freeze.
And how to put it - it doesn't matter. Rather, it is important, but this is another question, the question of saving space in the cell.

And what exactly are you freezing? I want kogatki, eggplants, tomatoes, lemon, berries. Maybe something else interesting tell me)

And what exactly are you freezing? I want kolbachki, eggplant, tomatoes, lemon, berries. Maybe something else interesting tell me)

all this I ice. I have three pallets for these targets. I put the chopped vegetables in one layer, and then either in regular bags or I vacuum them. We eat from ordinary bags first, in a vacuum it is stored better and longer.
And it is easier to vacuum - there are no juices from berries, vegetables.
With the advent of the dryer, tomatoes began to dry.

And what exactly are you freezing?

I even froze bananas recently. I ran into excellent bananas at a 50% discount, grabbed 4.5 kg, skinned it, laid it in a row and froze it, then put it tightly in a bag and removed the air.
Buy cream and make ice cream with it.

[Crown]

Crown, sounds delicious)

[Kassandra26]

Kassandra26, some cubes stick together, unfortunately. Closer to spring. Cherry juice definitely sticks. Cucumbers can "stick together", even greens last year froze on smoothies, some with blender water, some with cucumbers, also stuck together. Not critical, of course. But I had to wait until it melted.

In 5x5x5 forms you can freeze ALL what is bad : broth, milk, pieces of fruit, porridge. Well, all vegetables with a blender or grated are very convenient for small pieces of fruits / vegetables that have not been eaten by children, or with a blender - and into a cube. Then in compote, or in soup, or in smoothies. They do not lie all over the freezer, I have such an attendant for 4 cubes
By the way, this year the zucchini did not freeze in cubes, a lot of juice flows out when you turn it on a vegetable cutter. Cut into 6x6 mm cubes - and into small bags, 1-2 times. Better in bulk, of course, in packages it freezes in a piece. But I have a lot of zucchini at once, and it doesn't matter - I make flat bags, seal them with a vacuum cleaner. Break off a piece with a knife for a short time.

[Alenka578]

Alenka578, I also think about buying a vacuum degasser, there you can do this, you take the roll cut off as much as you need, the bottom is already sealed, put, suppose 4 large frozen cubes, how many fit in width, and the roll still remains empty 60 centimeters, so you pass it into the vacuum degasser, and the seam to make almost the squares themselves, and then a new zalod the same way, portioned out, or just have to cut it?

[Kassandra26]

Kassandra26, I didn't quite understand what I'm talking about ... Every time you need to cut off the roll, of course. You won't get a double portion. In general, I got used to just sealing the bags with a vacuum cleaner. What does not need to be evacuated, I put in regular freezer bags and sealed. Not a good idea, of course. I want ikeevski bags with double fasteners. But Ikea in Novosibirsk is closed until when. Delivery to us is expensive, and the harvest is now ...
And empirically, for three years of life with a chest freezer, I found out that it is necessary to freeze in portions. In small bags. And so that you can stack on top of each other without losing useful space. Therefore, I abandoned plastic jars from under everything (cheese, pate, butter) in favor of 5x5x5 cubes. They are easier to fold. Manyooo fits)) these are last year's drawers in the freezer

But Ikea in Novosibirsk is closed until when.

Is the online store not working either? I understand that this is a stupid question, but suddenly they forgot to check it ... But yes - Ikeya bags for freezing are very, very cool

these are last year's drawers in the freezer

Delightful order.And it is clear that there is little loss of space! I heard you about 5 by 5 cubes. Alevtina spoke very well about them. Need to think

[Alenka578]

Alenka578, Thank you! I think I will cut into small rectangles, per serving, and so evacuate. These are photo examples inspired by cubes)) Do you spend vegetable and soups in stews?



Is baby food stored normally in the freezer?

[Kassandra26]

Is the online store not working either? I understand that this is a stupid question, but suddenly they forgot to check it ... And so yes - Ikeya bags for freezing are very, very cool

An online store is working. But we do not live in the city. Delivery is not cheap. It seems that nothing more is needed from ikea, and some delivery bags come out in gold. Maybe they will open it, but it won't be closed all the time. Then we will go, next year there will be a supply

Kassandra26, yes, vegetables - in "cube" soups mostly. Berries - in compotes.
Baby food can also be frozen. Only meaning? It is more delicious to cook fresh from the same vegetable cubes
cream soup from cubes (or porridge?) - in a pressure cooker for 10 minutes, stand for a while - and with a blender))

[Alenka578]

Alenka578, thanks for the ideas)

[Alenka578]

Alenka578, just what beauty you have !!!! I have a form of Ashanovskaya for freezing, and I bought small packages (for the action now for 39 rubles) .. thanks for the ideas !!

Ikea in Novosibirsk is closed

Looked at the site, they write open. Many buyers have written, they can call and clarify how they work and when there are fewer people so that they do not stand in line.

[zhita]

zhita, Tanyusha, I already know that it has opened. Now, on the other hand, their online store does not work. So-and-so, without quarantine, you can't catch any employees there, and if you do catch them, you won't achieve anything or they will quickly run away. And now, apparently, there is no one to work at all. We'll get there, of course. How to get to the city.

And I froze the pitted raspberry puree. And hid it in a vacuum.

[Katerina]

pitted raspberry puree.

Katerina, and how were the bones removed?

[julia_bb]

julia_bb, I have a Bosch harvester with a rub. First time experienced ...

[Ekaterina2]

Ekaterina2, looks cool and very appetizing)

I have a Bosch harvester with a wiper. First time experienced ...

Got it, thanks. That is, only rubbing removes bones? Does the pulp skip?

[julia_bb]

julia_bb, the bones remain on top, and squeezes the puree down. Raspberries were of 2 varieties - common and very fine stone fruits. The ordinary ones all fell behind from above, the small ones sometimes fell down. But I am very happy with the result, I will do it again.
