freezer

Refrigeration is an essential food storage technique. The lower temperature lowers the reproduction rate of bacteria, so the refrigerator reduces the rate of spoilage. A refrigerator maintains a temperature a few degrees above the freezing point of water. Optimum temperature range for perishable food storage is 3 to 5 °C (37 to 41 °F).
The refrigerator allows the modern household to keep food fresh for longer than before. Freezers allow people to buy food in bulk and eat it at leisure, and bulk purchases save money.

    How long will cake last in the freezer

    I've adapted this recipe for my preferences eg more cacao and quinoa flour instead of buckwheat flour. I think 0.5tsp of cinnamon may offset some of the bitterness of the extra cacao. If I make it and put in the freezer how long should it last? Buckwheat Chocolate Cake (Gluten-Free + Egg-Free...

    Defrosting a Small Non-Defrosting Refrigerator Freezer

    Let me give you all something to laugh at. :woot: I have a small refrigerator with a small part dedicated to a freezer section. I went to get something and found the freezer door frozen shut. So, I set about defrosting the hard way, with a hammer and chisel to break up the ice. For a...

    Is your freezer a graveyard?

    This post from @Herbie made me think about this. I'm completely disorganised when it comes to the freezer. I tuck things in when it looks like they might go past their 'sell by' date, forgetting to label them - or not exactly forgetting but more 'can't be bothered'. I have items which I have...

    Have you ever frozen these foods?

    Freezing leftovers can be a great way to keep food from going off and reduce waste. The freezer acts as a pause button, keeping food from going off for weeks and even months. But there are some foods that should never be frozen - and they could even be dangerous for your health if you do. Have...
