Can I freeze?

Does anyone know if I can freeze (1) freshly grated parmesan cheese (2) flaked almonds. I have used them in a recipe, but know I will only get round to cooking this once in a while, and I'm fed up with throwing food away.

Don't think you can freeze cheese unfortunately, but if you make it into a cheese sauce you can freeze that. Flaked almonds should keep for ages anyway, if you put them in a airtight container like a jamjar. Or just cook double of whatever you needed them for in the first place, eat it all in one sitting and get FAT!!! Much more fun

Parmesan should also keep in the fridge in an airtight container for about a week - just make lots of pasta and chuck it on top - dd also loves parmesan sprinkled on top of pizza

I have just eaten 2 rice cakes and am currently trying to convinvce myself that they were tasty, nutritious and filling enough to keep me going until dinner...

Poo2, you should try eating the packaging - it might be more filling

Now I know you can freeze some types of cheese, because pizza etc has cheese on top and that freezes, doesn't it? I will try using it up with other pasta though bonym.

For now. Want one? Don't know if virtual digestives would count on your internet diet

Poo2 - that follows the same rule as if its from somebody else's plate doesn't it?

Nice tip sallystrawberry. Are they high in calories though?

I freeze cheddar but can only cook with it once thawed, as it goes all crumbly...

i'm sure you can freeze cheese - wasn't it Norma Major who is famous for it? typical, she's also an authority on opera etc and that's what she's famous for. anyway. don't know what it would be like once thawed. let us know!

Twiglett · 09/11/2004 17:12

yes you can freeze parmesan

Mummymonster · 11/11/2004 11:20

DH freezes cheese and we have no problems with it at all. Hard cheese or mozzerella or brie. We've not died........ yet

Mind you we freeze everything! Couldn't live without the freezer. Makes for bargain shopping!

Thanks. I've put it in the freezer, and next time we use it, I'll try it on DH and make sure he is insured!!!
