The
kitchen is full of misconceptions; people often have the wrong idea
of what they can microwave, refrigerate, and even freeze. If you have
the mindset that all foods are created equal, read this list of seven
foods which should never be frozen under any circumstance.

foods which should never be frozen under any circumstance.
-
Milk. Freezing
milk permanently alters its consistency, and not in a good way. Even
after thawing, the milk will feel lumpy and undesirable. -
Other Dairy
Products. Dairy products in
general do not freeze well. Freezing items such as sour cream and
yogurt causes some of the components to separate, and don’t even try
freezing cheese. -
Eggs. Freezing
eggs still in their shell is a mess waiting to happen. Since liquid
expands when frozen, the liquid inside the eggs will harden and
crack through the shell. -
Fruits &
Vegetables. Freezing fruits
and vegetables with high water content – such as lettuce,
cucumbers, watermelon, and citrus fruit – will turn them icy and
cause them to become limp and soggy after thawing. -
Cooked Pasta/Rice.
Cooked pasta and rice becomes
mushy and unsavory if you try freezing it. -
Fried Foods. One
of the best things about fried foods is the crunch you get when you
sink your teeth into them. The freezer will cause this crunch to go
away, and the only way to get it back is to re-fry the foods, which
adds even more fat. -
Sauces &
Condiments. Ketchup,
mayonnaise, gravy, marinara sauce, etc. – keep these foods out of
the freezer! Not only do they have long shelf lives in the
refrigerator, freezing them will cause separation and the taste and
consistency will not be the same after thawing.
