There are so many types of prepared cereal, there is no one answer to this question.

In most cases, there is no reason to freeze cereal products to preserve them. Most cereal products are sold in a dried form, suitable for long term storage.

Freezing dried cereal will cause them to absorb moisture and will be 'soggy' when thawed.

If you need to store cereal for an extended period, the unopened package is the best choice. If the package has been opened, a container with a minimum amount of airspace, such as a sealable plastic bag or a jar with a tight cover. It's exposure to air that causes cereal to become stale.

Yes but it is a good idea to use it within three months

You can find home food freeze dryers online, but they are very expensive and can handle only small batches.

while a chest freezer is the most ideal way of freezing foods because cold air drops ,the evaporator coils run in the lining of the chest a cold spot on the outside of the freezer could be caused by a void in the insulation(due to a previous repair) a discoloration about 6"in diameter sounds like it could be heat buildup from the compressor which on some models is 6' IN DIAMETER but to have a discoloration and a cold spot in the same place knocks these theories out of the box if they are in the same place. as far as the freezer being on its way out there is no way to tell. i always tell people to put as much food in a freezer as they can afford to lose because other things could cause food loss eg. blackout, storms, young children leaving lid up and food piled up preventing lid to seal.

Around 3 months.

you just answered your own question because they are dry so you are rehydrating them meaning your adding water (moisture ) be it from sauces or what ever of liquid you use.

Freeze dried food was actually invented by the Incas. As I understand it, they would harvest potatoes and take them to the mountaintops (as the colder temperatures and drier winds prevailed) and as each layer of the potato froze, they would peel off that thin layer as the moisture sublimated from that thin layer, that part of the potato was dry and thus preserved. Don't believe me, though.

Most brands of dry cat food are small biscuit pieces formed from a combination of many ingredients, mainly animal meal (dehydrated ground meat scraps), corn, wheat and grain flour. These are mixed to make a dough which is then cooked and extruded (to make the 'kibble' pieces) at very high temperatures. Lastly which are sprayed with a meat-flavored fat solution and extra nutrients (as any natural nutrients are destroyed by the harsh cooking process) once dry.

Though the ingredients are a bit different, it's made in much the same way as breakfast cereal. Depending upon the brand and the tier ("bargain" to "premium" foods), the percentage of the protein that comes from meat sources can vary greatly, and other ingredients such as cheese powder and dehydrated vegetables are sometimes added.

Unfortunately many, many dry cat food brands are not very good for the cat in the way of nutrition. Many dry foods brands often contain high amounts corns and grains, none of which cats can digest. Grain is used instead of meat because it is cheaper to produce and helps the kibble pieces hold together. However, ingredients such as "Ground Yellow Corn" and "Wheat Gluten" are a common cause of allergies in cats.

Many premium brands also now include cranberries or other vitamin C-rich berries due to the tendency for cats fed solely dry food to develop bladder problems and infections at a higher rate than cats fed soley wet food or a combination of wet and dry.

Since cats are obligate carnivores, there are also grain-free brands, which are typically more expensive and use potatoes as a binder instead of wheat, corn, soy, and/or rice. Potatoes, while still high in carbohydrate, is a little easier on the cat's digestive system.

Perhaps you should turn your oven down so your cakes can cook thoroughly in the centre, but have a smooth texture on the top. I don't know what kind of oven you have, but fan ovens are usually the best as they evenly cook the cakes, rather than create a bubbly layer on the top. Another cause could be sugar. I always find that the sugar in a cake mixture has to be mixed thoroughly with an electric mixture; this ensures that the cake won't separate and become grainy as it cooks.

Yes, you can do both. Be sure to place either in a sealed freezer baggie or container suitable for freezing.

Dr. Scholl's "Freeze Away" is a mixture of dimethyl ether and propane which is stored under pressure. It is highly flammable. When the liquid is released from pressure, it boils, removing heat and dropping the temperature of the remaining liquid to -42° C (-43°F). This mixture is typically the same as doctors use, but with different packaging.

Liquid nitrogen is often used by doctors, but storage requires a large Dewar flask for storage. The dimethyl ether / propane mixture can be stored at room temperature and is much more convenient than liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen boils away constantly requiring constant refilling. Liquid nitrogen boils at -196°C (-320°F) which is substantially colder.

If you want them frozen then u can..

It's the wrapping on the package. Most meats you buy in a grocery store are not wrapped with plastic suitable for long periods of freezing.
