Food Storage tricks part 1

This is one way we keep food from going bad at our house.

*I was trying to say that stacking the trays causes them to stick together and causes the item inside to smoosh out the sides.

The yogurt containers are an excellent tip! I know a lot of people that use them for various things.

I think in some cases, it depends on what you are storing and how long. If you know you may not use --- in the next few weeks, it's better to vacuum seal, but if you probably will use it soon, then just freezing in a ziplock style bag is probably fine. (If you store this cheese long, use the vacuum sealer!)

a half a can in 2 weeks?? Thats not good for you at all. It would be better to just buy a small can or not buy any at all.

[LVMotty81]

What I said was trying our best, we can only go through about 1/2 a can in 2 weeks. Granted, I didn't include that the entire family who lives near us (there are 10) was trying to find things to use it in.

This is for information, it's not to decide what's good for someone or not. There are many people on budgets for various reasons. What good is a budget if you waste part or all of what you buy? That is what this is for, learning that- Hey! You CAN store such and such! Thanks!

You could probably use a turkey baster to fill the trays more easily. Just a suggestion. Thanks for the video!

[LVMotty81]

Thanks for that suggestion! I think that it would be worth a try- creamy style soups (tomato for instance) and other liquids would work great with it. The cheese may be a little thick, but it's worth trying out.

:) Thanks for the morning laugh!

Sorry I wasn't so clear on that. The soft cheese that we make (and eat) we do so because of ease of making them. You can have a soft style batch (mozzarella or cottage cheese for instance) done in as little as a few hours. Hard cheese (such as cheddar) can take months because of aging.

A radio show I listen to every now and gives tips, interesting facts, etc.

Well when listing the worst foods for your health the oozy yellow cheese (like the kind on nachos at the theater) was #1!

Don't feed your kids that crap. It will damage their bodies.

Why not freeze regular cheese slices?

[godsspartin117]

not 2 b mean but whats the point if u only leave em in there 4 24 hours?

[DanielSnedden]

Thanks for the ideas. Good for grilled cheese as well I am sure!

[auntieclimactick]

Very informative, ty. after you have the chunks frozen do you just put them in zipper bags in serving sizes?

[aussiegirlonamission]

lol i have never seen cheese in a can.

looks gross lol

[TinSoIdier]

cheese isn't on my survival list.

[Amandandoug]

I can't believe so many people are so hateful to another person trying to share helpful information. How about instead of whining about how unhealthy this is, you all go post videos that actually add to the food storage community!!!
