Use Your Freezer To Save Time
By Mrs. Richard C. Spence
If you work and have little
time to prepaie meals, using
jour freezer is handy for plan
ning meals anead and cutting
aown on preparation time
When you cook, prepare ex
tra amounts and freeze for future
meals You don't need special
recipes Use your family’s
favorites, but keep a few hints
in mind Avoid overcooking. If
cooked well-done before freez
ing, some foods such as vege
tables and macaroni may be too
soft when reheated.
Omit hard-cooked eggs from
recipes. They tend to toughen
when frozen Cooked egg yolks
freeze well though, either whole
or broken up.
Potatoes don’t freeze well so
omit them in dishes like stew.
Also fried foods with the ex
ception of French fried potatoes
and onions, become soggy or
tough.
You may want to wait and add
seasoning to taste at the time
of serving. Some seasonings
such as synthetic vanilla, pepper,

using only half the amount sug
gested in the recipe
Leftover meat dishes freeze
well and become an easy meal
for another night To avoid
spoilage, all meat dishes need
to be cooled quickly to about 130
degrees packaged and frozen at
once.
Leave any extra roast in as
large pieces as possible. Coat
with sauce or gravy to exclude
air and wrap snugly in freezer
wrapping Pork roast will keep
about two months and beef will
be satisfactory for about four
months To serve, heat and de
frost in a 300 degree oven
Meat dishes such as swiss
steak stews, meat balls in
sauce and chili will keep in the
freezer for about three or four
months. Prepare them by your
own recipe omitting those in
gredients, such as potatoes, that
don’t freeze well Pack in a
freezer container and work out
