"you can store root ginger in the freezer and grate from frozen" !

[IkeaSnake]

It says on this recipe card did oyu know that?
i haev lost count of how many I have binned

oops sorry that was supposed to be strikethrough'd

you can chop and cook chorizo from frozen. it is bloody hard to peel though, do it before you freeze it.

Another tip - don't use celery, it's the devil's vegetable .

But the ginger thing is genius. Freezers, in fact, are genius. There is almost nothing I haven't, at one point or another, frozen. Every time I open my freezer door, bag after bag of breadcrumbs fall on my head.

But ginger only costs about 20p for a big nobble of it! I've tried freezing chillis and I don't think that frozen chillis are a patch on fresh ones. They're not firm enough. Sorry! As you were

It's not about the cost helsbels, it's having it there for when you need it next!

Yes but you can buy it in varying sizes of nobbliness so I just buy a piece big enough to last a couple of recipes then buy some fresh.

I bought the Twatrose pickeldy stuff and it was not good.
