List of Ingredients




FOOD SPECIAL TIPS

DELICATE VEGETABLES Lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, and cucumbers do not freeze well because their cell structure breaks down. You can freeze fresh tomatoes, but then only use them in cooked dishes like tomato or spaghetti sauce.

FRUITS Watermelon, grapes, apples, and citrus fruits do not freeze well. Generally, any fruit with a high water content loses quality when frozen.

COOKED EGG WHITES Cooked egg whites become rubbery when frozen. You can freeze them in a salad or sandwich filling if finely chopped and mixed with other ingredients.

MAYONNAISE Mayonnaise separates when frozen. In a casserole, mayonnaise can freeze well. Use cooked salad dressings instead of mayonnaise.

POTATOES Cooked and raw potatoes become mushy when frozen. Use purchased frozen potato wedges, chunks, or hash browns when making a casserole to be frozen.

FLOUR THICKENED SAUCES These sauces and gravies separate when thawed. Freeze without the thickening agent, then add flour when reheating.

CORNSTARCH THICKENED SAUCES These sauces and gravies thickened with cornstarch separate when thawed. Freeze without the thickening agent, then add cornstarch when reheating.

CREAM AND CUSTARD PIE FILLINGS These foods tend to separate and 'weep' (moisture appears on the surface) when frozen..

COOKED FROSTINGS Cooked frostings, like Seven Minute Icing, become rubbery and tough when frozen.

COOKED PASTA If you want to freeze cooked pasta, mix it with a sauce or gravy before freezing. Plain cooked pasta becomes too mushy if frozen alone.

SALAD GREENS The cell structure of salad greens is destroyed when frozen; do not freeze.

CREAM CHEESE Cream cheese becomes crumbly and grainy when frozen by itself. It will freeze well when mixed with other ingredients, like milk or cream, in a sauce.

SPICES AND HERBS Freezing can change the quality and strength of spices and herbs. If you want to freeze a highly spiced recipe, especially one containing cloves, paprika, peppers, and curry, add the seasonings during reheating. Season lightly when preparing the food for the freezer.
