What's your best freezer "secret"

[Cratchit]

Probably everyone already knows this but ... mine is that you can freeze whole chillis. Red ones retain the heat better than green ones, but both work. It also means you can buy those little packets in the supermarket, which are often cut price down our way, and not waste any... Sometimes I defrost them in the microwave too. Ohmagawd I'm so 21st Century, or tight and desperate ...

Several people have mentioned freezing egg whites if what you're making only needs the yolks, but does it work the other way round? That is, can you freeze the yolks if you're only using the whites?

Mumblecrumble we are looking for a new freezer would u mind telling us which one you have got? I too applaud your tesselation (glad these things aren't just me...)

We have a beko [or something like that] freezer.

It rocks.

Thanks i shall add to my list of Things To Look At for the new house (we are poss the only people in Britain actually moving house!)

Freeze root ginger wrapped in clingfilm. Just grate off as much as you need (having removed clingfilm first ) and then re-wrap and stick it back in the freezer. Sorry if this was mentioned before, have not had time to read the whole thread.
