Turns out, freezing your food isn't as easy as 'set it and forget it.' 🤷♀️
, food that's frozen at 0 degrees Fahrenheit should last indefinitely. But just because something is safe to eat doesn't mean it's going to taste great or look appetizing.
Here, experts point out the common mistakes people make when freezing food and share what to do to keep your food tasting delicious for longer.Mary Liz Wright, M.S., food safety expert and nutrition and wellness educator at the University of Illinois Extension, tells SELF that while most foods can be successfully frozen, a handful of items won't fare well in the freezer.
Thankfully, avoiding this problem is easy, because Wright says that all you have to do is either cut up whatever you're freezing into small pieces, or freeze it in a smaller container. "The smaller the piece or the smaller the container the more rapidly the food freezes," she explains. You can also speed up the process by lowering the temperature of your freezer to -10 degrees F a full day before you intend to freeze any food.
Also, if you have food you know you won't eat before it goes bad—for example, if you buy a large package of chicken and want to save a bunch for later—it's best to freeze it immediately as soon as you bring it home. The sooner you freeze it, the less time there is for bacteria to grow.Philip Tierno, Ph.D.
