Fried foods are among the sought-after delicacies. We would prefer to prepare them in broth so that we can reach them as soon as we have lack of time or an excess of appetite for fatty foods.
Convenient freezing
Freezing food is a great way to extend shelf life and put off difficult purchases for as long as possible. If you too are among those who freeze basic ingredients, semi-finished products and ready meals, start by respecting the rules of how to freeze properly. Some foods are not allowed in the freezer at all, others change their taste or texture. Among the basic rules is also the fact that from time to time it is necessary to stop shopping and consume the ingredients in the freezer. This will ensure freshness and will not keep the dishes of the month.
What can’t be put in the freezer
Under no circumstances should foods containing potatoes, mayonnaise or raw vegetables be placed in the freezer. You shouldn’t even freeze eggs or mushrooms.
Under no circumstances should fried food be placed in the freezer, so forget about fried steaks for broth or fried cheese that you just reheat in a pan. You wouldn’t like it and it could even lead to digestive problems.
The oil does not freeze
Fried foods that are prepared in a triple pack are usually dipped in oil. Sometimes only on one side and sometimes on both sides, depending on whether the food was turned during frying. The oil does not freeze in the freezer, so much of the top of the food soaked in oil also does not freeze. Unwanted bacteria can form in the top layer and cause digestive problems when consumed.
They don’t like the texture
A crispy crust on a freshly fried steak will definitely not last in the freezer. After defrosting and reheating, the taste and texture will change. Most foods will be soft and pasty. It is best to put only the slices of meat in the freezer, always focus on preparation and frying from the beginning. You can save time by using high-quality pans or by using modern appliances.
