When you are doing
freezer cooking, you may see recipes that call for you to
"flash freeze". However, this term always sounds
confusing for beginners... does it mean some secret way of
freezing something faster? Does it refer to only freezing
something for a specific amount of time? Actually, neither!
refers to the freezing technique where you lay out something
individually, usually on a cookie sheet, then once it is frozen,
you remove from the cookie sheet and store in something more
freezer-space-friendly such as a Ziploc or plastic container.
Things that are
often flash frozen include hamburger patties, berries, chicken
nuggets or strips and french toast or waffles.
