Hello,
addition to recipes give some useful advice to make life easier. Today we speak of the freezer, my best friend in the kitchen after the oven (there dico un anno senza entrambi...che fatica!).
Il freezer vi permette di fare spesa anche meno di una volta alla settimana (certo ci vuole un freezer capiente) e se vivete da soli potete sfruttare le "offerte famiglia" senza mangiare per una settimana le stesse cose.
Nel freezer ci potete mettere di tutto: dall'antipasto al dolce. Munitevi però di un rotolo di pellicola trasparente (tipo domopack).
Pane: se avete preso troppo pane e avete paura che al 4 giorno sia cemento, potete tagliare il pane in parti, avvolgerlo nella pellicola e metterlo in freezer. Quando lo vorrete mangiare toglietelo dal freezer e potete scongelarlo sia a temperatura ambiente che in forno (normale o a microonde). It will look like freshly baked. Is kept in the freezer for about a month.
Fresh pasta (dried pasta such as spaghetti, penne, etc. need not be frozen): You can freeze gnocchi, tagliatelle, ravioli, Cappelletti, lasagna ... so all the pasta in general. Even in this case, wrap in plastic wrap or use of plastic boxes. For the lasagna I suggest you put in a lasagna and the other a sheet of plastic to prevent them from attacking too.
NB: For the pastry mean lasagna and the lasagna is not already stuffed (like Bologna). If the frozen lasagna already filled (cooked or not) will not be as good as if made, cooked and eaten right away ... In
freezer si conservano per circa 2 mesi
Impasti per dolci : pasta frolla, pasta dolce, pasta brisee, pasta sfoglia, ecc. Potete preparare l'impasto in abbondanza, dividerlo in parti e congelarle. Quando vi servono fatele scongelare per una notte in frigo. In freezer si conservano per circa 3 mesi.
Carne e pesce : spesso al supermercatoci sono le confezioni di carne pesce "formato famiglia" che costano meno. Potete tranquillamente comprarle e poi se siete da soli dividete la carne e il pesce in porzioni e avvolgetele sempre nella pellicola. Mettete in freezer e quando le volete mangiare scongelatele (o le tirate fuori dal freezer e le mettete in frigo per una notte o una giornata intera, oppure le socngelate in oven / microwave oven if the defrost function). The meat will keep three months or so, the fish 2 months.
Vegetables: You can also freeze the vegetables, with some changes in me anymore. First, you can not freeze the entire salad and then eat raw vegetables (if you do then thawed when the rot now ...). But you can freeze the cooked vegetables you eat: spinach, peas, zucchini, carrots, eggplants, potatoes, etc.. The only trick is to cut potatoes, carrots, zucchini slices before freezing. This is because the vegetables do not thaw before cooking to be done, but must be removed from the freezer and put in pan, oven frozen otherwise rots at the same time ... which thaws in the freezer is also preserved 3 months
Sweets ready : a cake that lends itself well to freezing are the pastries. When thawing in the oven and place them a few minutes you will have as good as those croissants from the bakery just ready (of course must be good at the start: p) You can also freeze the jam tarts or pies with whipped cream (to prevent disassemble sprinkle the cream with the powdered sugar). Not frozen desserts with fruit because otherwise when they thawed the fruit is not good. In the freezer will keep 1-2 months (the cakes with the cream does not freeze it for a long time).
Sauces: If you are alone or if you use it and just the sauce in the can you go wrong you can always put it in the freezer, dividing it into small cubes in the container to make ice cubes. When you need it will use as many cubes you need. It also preserved three months.
fresh various flavors: you can freeze basil, sage, parsley, rosemary. You do not need the film better if you put them in plastic boxes. When you need to do as the vegetables: frozen put them in the pan when you need it, do not let them thaw before using them! It also preserved 3 months
soup, milk, lemon juice : these too can freeze them in glass jars or storage bin. We keep 3 months or more.
I seem to have put all the chances I forgot .. if you write something!
Bon appetit!
