How To Solve Common Freezer Problems

You love your freezer.

But most of the time you don’t know what’s in it, how long you’ve had it or if you need to throw something out.

How do you solve these storage and food waste issues?

With these easy tips!

Fill at least one half of your freezer to avoid frost.

Choose one day a month to check expiration dates, look for freezer burn and sort through everything in your freezer.

Label your food before freezing it. Using masking tape and a pen, write a short note about what type of food it is, the expiration date and any other pertinent information.

Yes, you can freeze liquids and sauces.  Let the food freeze flat in a freezer bag. Then stand up the frozen bags like books on a shelf so they won’t slip or fall.

Freezers are great inventions. They save space and prolong the longevity of our food. They let us whip out a prepared meal at a moment’s notice or store those temptingly delicious cookies for another day.

Now that you know how to correctly utilize your freezer, the possibilities are endless!

Be Smart About Your Freezer

Save an average of $750 a year by buying in bulk.

Freezer meals. They’re more than a food trend; they’re a practical way to buy a lot, cook a lot and waste nothing. Freezer meals are a busy family’s best friend. You buy and prepare everything ahead of time, then defrost and cook when you want to eat.

When you have a top of the line freezer, such as the #Frigidaire Gallery 2-in-1 freezer/refrigerator, every make-ahead meal is a success. This duo has extra thick walls so food stays frozen longer.

What can you freeze? Practically everything! A few items don’t take well to freezing: lettuce, bean sprouts, cucumbers, raw potatoes and hard boiled eggs. Also be wary of egg-based sauces such as mayonnaise. They can separate and curdle when thawed.

We know your next question. How should you freeze food? If you have strong freezer-safe bags, Tupperware, mason jars, aluminum foil or your own baking dishes (with lids), then you can pop it in the freezer without a second thought.

We said buying in bulk could save you over $700 a year. You know which foods to freeze and how to store them. But what should you make?

We have a delicious freezer dinner recipe: chicken enchiladas!

Remember, your freezer is your friend. Buy in bulk, freeze food and enjoy all your favorites throughout the year.

It’s dinner time. The kids are hungry, and so are you. You didn't scour the internet for those blessed 30 minute meals because time got away from you. Should you order a pizza? No, your family deserves better than delivery.

Then it hits you. You have a casserole in the freezer! Made over the weekend, you stored it to eat later.

A few important factors went into making this freezer meal miracle a reality. You found the best recipe. More importantly, you have a Frigidaire Gallery 2-in-1 Refrigerator/Freezer which kept your meal ready until now. With your freezer’s extra thick walls, your food stays frozen longer.
