Frozen foods have long and firmly entered our lives. In addition to stocks of instant food, housewives have also mastered various methods of freezing seasonal products. But there are foods that cannot be frozen. Some - because it spoils their quality, and some can harm your health after freezing.
Dairy produce
Dairy products that cannot be frozen include yoghurt, cream, and sour cream. In addition, soft cheeses and mayonnaise. These products lose their taste and delaminate. And after defrosting, they become unusable. Therefore, they should not be placed in the freezer.
Soft Cheese
Hard cheeses (cheddar, swiss and parmesan) are great for freezing. But cheese, cottage cheese and cream cheese should not be stored in the freezer.
Fried ready meals
Fried chicken wings or sausages become sluggish after freezing and lose their flavor. In addition, the crispness disappears. After the first defrosting, ready meals should also not be put in the freezer again, this will promote the growth of bacteria. Re-freezing can be hazardous to health. If you refill the food in the freezer, the bacteria will not only survive, but will multiply greatly.
Fruits and vegetables with high water content
Watermelon, apples, potatoes, cucumbers, radishes, lettuce and other vegetables and fruits will lose their shape and taste after they thaw. Therefore, it is better to eat them immediately or invent another type of storage. Raw potatoes will darken in the freezer, so it is best to keep it in a dark and cool place. But the cooked potatoes can be frozen without any problems.
Thawed meat
If you dragged the meat out of the freezer and thawed it, you cannot freeze it a second time. In meat that has already been thawed, bacteria begin to multiply and must be destroyed by heat treatment. If you again put such meat in the freezer, there is a risk that the microorganisms will continue to multiply.
Canned food
Canned food is not meant for freezing. It’s best to hurt them in the pantry. But if you need to freeze the contents of canned food, it can be poured into a sealed container or a special package for freezing.
Coffee beans
Cold temperatures can dry them and they lose their properties. Instead, it is worth keeping them in a sealed container in a dark place.
Eggs in the shell
Scrambled eggs, pre-peeled, can be safely put in the freezer and stored there for up to 12 months. But boiled eggs or eggs in the shell - it is impossible.
Ready pasta
If you freeze the finished pasta, then after defrosting it will be rubber. Ready-made pasta can only be frozen if it is pre-prepared to the extent al dente. The only way you can save their taste.
Sauces
Gravy, dressings, and sauces that use flour or cornstarch will stratify during frosts.
