What foods can/can't you freeze?

I freeze my sons juice all the time!

Mix it ready for the next cocktail... or make them into icecubes so the next time you have a cocktail you can add 'ice' and it won't water down the flavour of the cocktail

Hello, I have just made some cream cheese icing, but made a bit too much, does anyone know if I can freeze the rest?

ETA title is suppose to say freeze!

i don't acually know wat cream cheese icing is, but you can freeze cream cheese so i don't see why not only problem is it might seperate when defrosting

Hi,
I want to make a cheesecake and have bought a big packet of digestive biscuits is it possible to freeze the unused biscuits if i crush them?

thank you in advance

It should be fine, I freeze breadcrumbs and they are fine. My only suggestion would be to maybe either dry/crisp them in a warm oven before making the cheesecake in case they go soggy, or bake the base before adding the topping for the same reason.

Yes it's fine to freeze them - just don't do what I did and grab them out of the freezer thinking they were breadcrumbs and putting them all over a macaroni cheese!

Is there a reason that you want to freeze them? Biscuits will keep well for ages in an airtight box

As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add this to the exsitng thread on what you can freeze.

There are a lot of people who seem to be unaware that you CAN actually re-freeze raw meat once it's been defrosted. It will affect the quality of the meat i.e. it will lose some of it's moisture but it won't have any ill-effect on your health.
