Methods, techniques, and quality/safety concerns around the freezing of various foods.
Use this tag if you have a question about:
- Whether or not a particular food can be frozen safely;
- How freezing can affect the quality of a food;
- How to prevent ice crystals, freezer burn, or other issues associated with a frozen food;
- How to correctly prepare a food for freezing;
- ...or any other question specifically related to storing food in a freezer
Do not use this tag for questions about pre-frozen foods (i.e. purchased frozen) unless the question is specifically about the subsequent storage of those foods.
If your question is about defrosting a frozen food, use the defrosting tag instead.
If you are concerned with the safety (as opposed to quality) of a frozen item, consider including the food-safety tag in addition to freezing.
