Cool as rapidly as possible and freeze at once.
Liquid or semi-liquid recipes must be frozen in
recommended containers leaving head space to
allow for expansion. Casseroles and other more
solid food can be frozen directly in containers
suitable for baking.
Freezing baked food and bread
Wrap bread in recommended material. Thaw
inside the wrapping. Unbaked yeast bread can
be frozen after the first rising. Punch down,
wrap, and freeze.
Bake cookies as usual. Cool and freeze on trays,
then pack in recommended freezer bags or
cartons. Unbaked cookies may be dropped,
molded, or rolled and frozen on cookies trays.
Store in bags or cartons. Bake without thawing.
Fruit pies are best frozen unbaked. Bake
without thawing.
