Freezing and Drying Food

Your freezer will no longer freeze food and will need replaced.

the answer is yes. this is because the decreasing temperature would cause most of the bacteria cells to die and eventually the bacteria would die.

Yes, you can freeze stuffed baked salmon.

yes especially if its melted into water, the ice can contain deadly bacteria such as lysteria depending on what has been put into the freezer

Yes, you can safely freeze kielbasa.

because you need moisture to cause bacteria and if it is drying moisture wont get to it

If you freeze two different liquids water will freeze first. Water will freeze fastere than any other liquid. So if you want to try it at home it is not dangerous!!!!!

Probably no refrigeration needed if the package has not been opened.

No. Even after opening, no. Beef jerky if done properly has no water left in it. Bacteria cannot survive without water. Hooweestik.

It will keep the fish from being freezer burned and let it keep longer. You can do this with chicken also. It depends on how long you intend to freeze it. Fish frozen in ice will last longer due to air next to the meat can cause freezer burns. If you intend on using it in less than a year or so, you can freeze it on a piece of wax paper and when frozen, transplant into a large ziplock bag. This allows you to remove the amount you want, and not have to dethaw the whole amount. This way, you can remove individual portions at ease.

Aging allows natural enzymes to break down the tough connective tissue in meats and for water to evaporate away concentrating the flavor. (Similarly, braising meat by slow-cooking over low heat does the same thing, and creates a gravy for it too). After about three weeks of dry aging, beef reaches its peak tenderness. Beyond the three weeks, the flavor does actually continue to develop into a deep, rich, beefy taste that fills your mouth with nuances of butter and roasted nuts. They say that nothing a chef can do to add flavor in the kitchen is a substitute for starting with properly aged meat.

It is a freezer that is designed to keep food frozen well below freezing temperature, I have one and the ice cream is so hard you cant get it out of the carton.

No, it does not raise your electricity bill because having more food in the freezer doesn't make your freezer run longer or different it still runs the same so yes the elctricity bill will stay the same too. Solid mass keeps it's temperature longer than gas. As air is a gas Each time the fridge door is opened everything in the fridge will warm up a little. Because the air will warm up the fastest, having less air in the fridge will keep it better at the same temperature then when the fridge is empty and thus full of air. Therefore keeping the fridge full is theoretically better for keeping the energy bill down.

yes

The easiest way is just to dry the individual petals, rather than entire flowers, since a) petals tend to drop from the flower heads during the drying process, b) large whole flowers take longer to dry, which gives mould an opportunity to grow.

This method works best on flowers with relatively large petals, such as roses. To dry individual petals, pick the flowers. Carefully remove each petal, wash (to remove any lingering bugs) and dry gently and thoroughly with kitchen towel. Place each petal on a plate or oven try, and cover with a breathable net to prevent dust/bugs landing on the petals. (The kind of net people use to cover food; it must be breathable, otherwise the petals won't dry. This is why clingfilm doesn't work.) Leave the petals to dry for about a week to ten days.

For lavender flowers, pick the entire stems and place them in a vase without water. They should be dried in a week.

If you really want to dry flowers' whole, try the same method as for the lavender. Alternatively, you may find that drying the flowers upside down (tie stems together and hang from a doorhandle etc...) reduces the number of petals dropping. Also, bear in mind that if you wish to dry an entire flower, it should be a newly opened flower, rather than one which is about to "go over" - this aids the quality of the dried flower and again prevents petal droppage.

Yes, all types of hollow peppers can be frozen.
