Freezing every single fish, meat and poultry you buy might not be the right thing to do, or they might not be enough. Here are some tips on how you should store your fresh buys, and keep them fresh even after days:
1. To prepare raw hamburger patties for freezing: you need to separate them with small plastic coffee-can tops, stack them in a pile, place them in a plastic bag before sealing.
2. Poultry and meat will keep fresh longer if you remove the original wrapping and wrap the meat loosely in wax paper to allow air to circulate around the flesh.
3. When re-wrapping prepackaged meat for freezing, cut the label from the original wrapping and tape it to the new package. You will have a record of the cut of meat, its weight and the date of purchase.
4. To cook bacon in advance, arrange the slices side by side on a rack in a baking pan. Bake them until crisp. Cool, stack the slices, wrap in foil, then freeze. Reheat the amount you need in a skillet over low heat.
5. Freeze raw or cooked meatballs on a cookie sheet, then transfer them to a container, seal and freeze. They will stay separate, and you can use as many as you want when you need them.
6. When you are planning to freeze a casserole, line the dish with aluminum foil; then fill, cook and freeze. When frozen, remove the casserole, foil and all, then store it in the freezer. The dish is now free for other uses.
7. Freeze beef and chicken broth in ice-cube trays; store the frozen cubes in plastic bags.
