I did look, but I couldn't find the answer already posted.

Can you freeze spring onions? I was thinking of chopping them and putting them in a tupperware box?

We have to go away unexpectedly and I'm trying to salvage the contents of our fridge... The spring onions have a little bit of life left in them, but not enough to leave out. TIA.

The spring onions will probably be best used in cooking after they have been frozen, they tend to go all limp and watery once thawed but are fine in cooking.

Hmm im not sure it would freeze well due to the high liquid content. You could freeze a spoonful and check it later and see how it is? it probably won't go off when its past its date for a day or so

Cottage cheese may have some ideas

ill merge this later with freezing quick questions.

I've just got a new chest freezer and finally have space to freeze things bought in bulk. Thanks to Tesco double the difference I managed to get a few blocks of cheese and tubs of Lurpac butter.

Am I fine just freezing the cheese as it is or better to grate it? How long once defrosted do I have to use it up?

Same with the butter, Once frozen then defrosted how long do I have to use it?

Many thanks

With the cheese I would probably grate it, put it in a box in the freezer and then use it straight from the freezer as needed ie for pizzas, sauces, sandwiches, toppings etc. With the butter I would imagine it would keep for a good couple of weeks in the fridge. hth.

Hello,

Cheese becomes very crumbly after being frozen (the stuff makes me gag but I buy it for husband)

So best to grate it. Also it means you use less as grated cheese goes further.

Butter just freeze as is.
