• Freeze Fast:
Quick and even freezing helps preserve the taste and texture of foods. Divide large amounts of food into 1- to 2-serving portions; let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. (If cooling longer, refrigerate.) Once cool, seal containers and freeze. If freezing several items at once, allow enough space around them so cold air can circulate and freeze the food more evenly.

• Smart Storage:
Make freezer bags easy to stack and thaw by laying the sealed bags in a wide metal pan to freeze flat. Once frozen, remove from pan and stack. Place items to be stored the longest in the coldest part of the freezer at the back. Use the door for items to be used soonest.

• Use It:
Attach an index card to the fridge to keep track of what's in the freezer and the date it went in. Before grocery shopping, check the list to see what you have on hand in the freezer.
