Freezer Storage Tips
Freezing foods in moisture-proof containers with airtight lids or seals will help it keep its color and flavor much longer. You’ll get best results with products made for freezer use (leave head space for the food to expand when it freezes).
So many foods freeze well that it’s more helpful to ask what doesn’t freeze well than what does. Don’t freeze the following foods. They will change color, texture, or separate in some way during the freezing or thawing process:
Raw salad vegetables (such as lettuce, radishes, tomatoes).
Raw eggs in their shells or hard-cooked eggs.
Raw potatoes or boiled white potatoes (they turn black)
Commercial cottage cheese
Gelatin salads or desserts
Icing made with egg whites, boiled frostings, or cakes with cream fillings.
Instant rice (dissolves and becomes too mushy). You can freeze regular cooked rice.
Custard pies, cream pies, or pies with meringue
