What not to freeze

The beauty of home freezing is that most foods can be frozen, but there is a short list of things to avoid

● Hard-boiled eggs will go rubbery

● Vegetables with a high water content, such as lettuce, cucumber, beansprouts and radishes, will go limp and wilt

● Soft herbs like parsley, basil and chives won’t work for garnishes after being frozen, but they can be incorporated into dishes

● Egg-based mayonnaise and hollandaise-style sauces will separate and curdle after freezing
