Let’s be honest, at some point we’ve all had a freezer that’s half-full of almost empty boxes, or we’ve frozen something in such a big portion it has taken three days to defrost fully in the fridge. We can better use the space that we have, defrost foods faster and enable ourselves to only use as much as we need.
Far too often our freezers become somewhere where we sling leftovers and shop-bought fodder with little thought for locating (or even identifying) the contents later. This results in us simply not making good enough use of this genius bit of kit.
My ‘freezer stash’ is best described as a filing cabinet of frozen ingredients. It is organised with ease of access in mind, with clear labels, and consistent ‘containers’, so that everything has its place and can be found when needed with minimal effort.
