Freezing - Tips and Quick Questions thread

Hi Hex2

That's interesting about the lemon juice - do you use it to stop the juice browning? Also do your parents do anything to their juice or just freeze it as it comes from the juicer?

Milk?
cheese?
yoghurts?

We've bought a second chest freezer for our shed so I can have bread, meat etc in there. But as we drink a lot of milk (42 pt/w) I can't keep on top of the milk runs to the shops! I would like to have some frozen so we always have it in. We have semi-skimmed and the toddlers have whole milk....please say it can be frozen!

Anything else, other than the usual stuff that I may not know about?

I have frozen milk and cheese but not yoghurt - the milk will expand so it may be best to take out some from the bottle, and it will need a good shake before using. 42 pints a week is a lot how many of you are there at home. I would think that yoghurt would freeze as cream does but not too sure what it would be like once thawed, may be worth trying a couple.

Thanks, I'll remember to take some milk out or the freezer will be packed solid with bottles of milk! I'll try the yoghurts and post my (experiment) results.

There are 2 adults and 2 toddlers in the house BTW - we just love milk

You can freeze Frubes (fromage frais tubes) and in the US they eat a lot of frozen yoghurt so that must be possible too. I have only tried the frubes though.

Frozen yoghurt is a well known icecream substitute so it should be fine.
