You'll have to do your own experimenting to come up with the proper time and temps depending on the size cut for the potato. Typically you'll need to blanch for about 5 minutes at 350 degrees F or so. The internal temp of the center section of the fry has to reach 160 degrees F to slow the enzyme reaction that turns a raw potato black when frozen. If the strips are gray, they are not blanched enough. Our "How To" section for fresh cut fries has some recommendations.

Large amounts of fat in foods, French fries for instance , tends to slow the rate of stomach emptying and therefore the rate at which foods are digested leading to a falsely low GI rank. Consume preferably foods that contain good fat, avocadoes, nuts and legumes. Leave foods containing saturated fat for special occasions, cakes and biscuits.

Potatoes should not be frozen from a raw state. They will turn black and the texture will be soft upon thawing. Potato dehydrators (who earlier had invented the instant mashed potato) struggled with any attempts to create a frozen French fry by cutting up the potatoes and attempting to freeze them. Frequently they would just turn to water and mush, similar to trying to freeze a fresh onion whole. The scientist that solved all this was Ray Dunlap, who worked for the J.R. Simplot company in Idaho.

Only if wheat flour is used as an anti-stick agent. Ask the restaurant. Also be careful about the possible contamination with gluten if the fries are cooked in pre-used frying oil.

The potato or tuber is a storage organ that is developed from the swelling at the end of an underground stem. Potatoes that are harvested before they mature are often called "new potatoes" or "early potatoes." We chippers are always happy when the "new potatoes" crop comes in from Florida. "New potatoes" almost always are an appetizing soft golden color. These potatoes have a thin tender skin, which is easily rubbed off during harvesting and handling.

If your child eats fast food daily, then it is advisable to try to find alternative ways of feeding him at least every other day. It is quite acceptable for a child to eat fast food about three times a week as long as he chooses his food sensibly. You can help your child to make good choices by teaching him about food at home. Food lessons could be in the form of a game, for example by using a homemade menu which your child can draw and colour himself.

Use a wire blanching basket and covered saucepan, or fit a wire basket into a large kettle with fitted lid. Use one gallon of water per pound of prepared vegetable. Put vegetable in blanching basket and lower it into vigorously boiling water. Place lid on blancher and start counting blanching time as soon as the water returns to a boil. (The water should return to boiling within 1 minute, or you are using too much vegetable for the amount of water). Keep heat high for total blanching time.

If stored at 45-48 degrees F with 95% humidity the potatoes will last quite some time, potentially months. Most people can not make arrangements to store them under those conditions. Store in the dark, in a cool location and you should be able to have them stay fresh for a couple of weeks. The potato is about 80% water, so high humidity really helps retain the moisture. Above 55 degrees the potato will start to shrink and is more susceptible to sprouting.

Microwave blanching may not be as effective as other methods, since research has shown that some enzymes may not be inactivated. This could result in off flavors and loss of texture and color. Those wishing to run the risk of low quality vegetables by microwave blanching should be sure to work in small quantities, using the directions for their specific microwave oven. Microwave blanching will not save time or energy.

Long shaped potatoes are most suitable for baking, microwaving, or french frying. These potatoes will fluff up when baked. To boil, cook slowly over medium heat using only a small quantity of water. If they are cooked at a full boil in too much water, long-shaped potatoes may not hold their shape.

Sponge cakes freeze very well provided they are wrapped properly and frozen as soon as they are cold. Remember though, the cake cannot be re-frozen after defrosting. If you are making the cake for someone else, be certain to advise them not to re-freeze the cake. Freeze for up to a month.*

This cooking method is recommended for two reasons: 1) Porchetta is wrapped in pork skin (traditional Italian style roast) and will become a beautiful golden colour and the dry heat allows the skin to become crispy. This can then be eaten. If this is not desirable, then the skin can be removed and discarded. 2) Dry roasting locks in all of the natural juices and keeps the meat moist and tender. Cooking the roast in water/juices will steam not roast the meat.

Since the freeze-drying of botanicals began in 1989, it is still too early to say that freeze-dried flowers will last forever. However, when protected from humidity, sunlight and insects, freeze-dried flowers can last for many years.
