    I take them out the plastic bag and keep them in the salad draw of the fridge - they keep for ages like that.

    I'm currently packing and don't intend to come back until the end of August (and only then cos the kidz have to return to school):mad: hehehehe. I've just emptied my salad draw of a big bag of carrots, peeled, sliced and par-cooked them and frozen them in serving sized batches. Defrosted and cook-thro they are ok and brill instews/casseroles.

    There's a great site pointed to in an older thread on storing foods which says that carrots will be OK in a fridge for 1-2 weeks and for several months when frozen.

    The link is in a thread about storage in the Food section of the MEGA Index.
