I use this method when freezing grapes and berries for a cool quick Summer time treat for the kiddos.

Be careful with the onions and peppers — I find that if I freeze them on an open tray, their odor permeates the ice cream and other stuff in the freezer. I try to spread them out in a bag or freezer container in layers. The inner bags from cereal boxes work great for separating layers — thicker, slicker and stronger than waxed paper. Sometimes I put the bag or container inside another bag to help contain the odor.

[...] years later I can answer that question no problem! I use wax paper all the time. When I tray freeze food (veggies, cookie dough, etc). For greasing pans. For baking, similar to parchment paper. The list [...]

hi fey – I’m not an expert – but I think tupperware should work fine. you can’t really suck the air out, so it’s not as tight of a seal…but I’ve frozen things in tupperware before without any problem. sometimes just a few ice crystals on top – good luck! :)

hi guys! thank you so much for posting this and for the comments, you do not know how much this helps newbies like me!! I was wondering if I can just place them in tupperwares, just because I think I might have to throw plastics a lot, after:) thank you again!

Mmmm, love the frozen cookie dough balls. (Yes, many are eaten frozen.) What I love about the small batches is doing them in my toaster oven instead of heating up the whole house in the summer.

I do this with my biscuits. That way we can always have fresh, hot biscuits out of the oven whenever we want. The problem is that I often leave them on the tray in the freezer and forget to bag them, this is not good. I should write myself a note or something.

I also do the food cube idea!

Labeling and dating is always important :)

In addition to freezing cookie dough, fruits (esp. bananas, they don’t last long here in AZ) and veg.; I like to freeze veggie broth, lemon juice and homemade baby food in ice cube trays. That way, with the broth and lemon juice, you can use a little without defrosting the whole thing. Two lemon juice cubes, a few strawberries, water and sugar in the blender….yum! One or two cubes of baby food is a perfect serving size for a new eater.
