Today’s feature is from Lunch In A Box with a super smart tip for freezing foods in bulk, yet still have easy access to individual portions, Speed Tip: Make Individual Portions In Freezer Bags…

A standard tip for freezing ground foods or thick sauces in small portions is to first put the food into a large freezer bag and press it out as flat as possible, eliminating air pockets. (Making it thin speeds up defrost time due to the increased surface area, and pressing out excess air guards against freezer burn.) Use a long chopstick or ruler to create divisions within the food, forming individual portions. This way when you freeze the entire bag, you’ll be able to quickly break off just as much as you want to use, no more.

With this technique you can freeze in bulk yet enjoy the convenience of individual frozen portions, and use less packaging while you do it. Less hassle and so simple to do–love it!
