Main St. (Walmart Shopping Center) Cool ways to put your freezer to work Is your freezer a money-guzzling storage facility for mystery meats? An oversize ice-maker? Or a stopping-off point for left- overs destined for the garbage? It's time to learn how to turn that box of wasted cold space into the money-stretching, time- saving household appliance it was meant to be. • Tips Temperature. Set it to the coldest setting that lets you maintain a con- stant temperature of 32 F or lower to ensure food will be safe to eat. The warmest place in the freezer is at the bottom and in the door. The coldest area? Rear center. Efficient. A full freezer uses less electricity. What's already frozen helps keep the temperature low. Fill your freezer with containers of water when inventory runs low. Right wrap. Wrap food tightly, and then wrap it again, this time in a thick- er layer of foil, plastic or zip-close freezer bags. The second wrap keeps out odors. Wrap individual portions separately so they freeze more quickly and can be defrosted individually. Meats. Do not store meat in the supermarket packaging. Wrap each piece securely in plastic wrap, and then place the pieces inside a large freezer bag. No burn. Trapped air causes freez- er burn. Remove the air with vacuum sealing or by doing this: Seal all but enough space to slip in a drinking straw. Now inhale on that straw to pull all the air out of the bag. Quickly zip the last bit. •Tricks Burgers. Sepa- rate individual hamburger patties with squares of waxed paper, and then stack them in a freezer bag. Works for tortillas, too. Bagels. Bagels can go from freezer to toaster without thawing. Slice and wrap each bagel in plastic, and then place them in a freezer bag. Bacon. Roll up the bacon in tight coils, each with two or three slices. Put the coils in a zip-close bag, and place the bag flat in the freezer so the coils will stay separated while freezing. favorite muffin batter, and fill muffin tins lined with paper cups. Freeze the entire pan. Store the frozen muffins in zip-close freezer bags. Bake the frozen muffins according to recipe instruc- tions, adding about five min- utes. Stock. Pour stock or broth into a coffee mug lined with a quart-sized zip-close bag. Seal the bag, and lay it flat on a cookie sheet. Freeze. Once it's frozen, remove the flat bag from the cookie sheet, and store it. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Cookie dough. Divide cookie dough into balls, and arrange the balls on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Once they're frozen, place them in a big zip-close bag or airtight con- tainer. Bake as directed. Casseroles. Line a casserole dish with foil before filling it. Seal tightly and freeze. Once it's frozen, remove the foil package from the dish, and place it in the freezer. Freshly baked muffins. Make your Nuts. Sealed in a zip-close freezer bag, nuts stay fresh- tasting for months. No need to defrost; frozen nuts are chopped just as easily as fresh ones. Dry goods. Stored in the freezer, flour, breadcrumbs, cornmeal, oats and other grains stay protected from humidity, bugs and rancidity. Make sure bags and containers are closed tightly.
