We used to be Taylor Freezer. With the development of cooking equipment in the mid-80's, our business name was changed to Taylor.

Putting a glow novelty product in your home freezer will slow down the chemical reaction, but it will not stop it. Hopefully, you will get an extra night of fun and glow!

It is dehydration or drying that occurs on the surface of a frozen product if it is improperly wrapped. The food is safe to eat but poorer quality. To prevent freezer burn, the package must be free of air and sealed airtight. Freezing does not improve the quality of the product. Frozen food is only as good as the quality of the fresh food. So, select only high quality products at optimum maturity and freshness.

If the Food has been defrosted we do not recommend re-freezing. Refrigerate defrosted food and eat in a few days. If the food is frozen you can put it in the freezer.

It depends on the number of meals you request, and the sizes of the containers, but it does generally require a considerable amount of freezer space. During your assesment we'll take a look at your freezer to see just how much room you have available. Efficient storage is one of the reasons personal chefs prefer to select the appropriate size, uniform storage containers for their clients.

If you have a large dog or multiple pets, its a good idea to invest in a separate freezer for the raw food. You can usually find used freezers for a good price on Craig's List or in your local newspaper's classified section. From a Texas Grass Fed Meats site, "To calculate your storage requirements, figure that 35 pounds of meat requires one cubic foot of freezer space." Some of you might be surprised how little space so many pounds of meat can occupy.

The factsheet "Food safety and power failures" explains what to do in this situation. See Keeping food safe.

No. The freezing process makes the plastic brittle. Also, when water freezes it expands leading to the possibility of rupturing the reservoir.

A freezer is usually more of a convenience than a saving. To make the best use of it, (1) keep the freezer full, (2) use and replace the food, do not just store it, and (3) use older food first.

Yes, the freezer and refrigerator must be emptied to avoid the contents damaging the inside of your appliance.

GelGems® do not suffer damage from freezing temperatures. They will become hard when frozen, then squishy again when they thaw out.

I would wait and add to the freezer as you cook items. I have meatballs, onions, cooked beans (from dry), cooked ground beef, cooked chicken, formed hamburger patties, and more. I tend to ask myself what I can do to make prep time easier as I am cooking and make my decisions based on that. If you are interested in what I keep on hand in my pantry (as well as my refrigerator and freezer) for the menus, read The Well-Stocked Pantry.

The same principle of bulk cooking can be applied to onions and green peppers either individually or together. If your recipe calls for a sauteed onion, instead of sauteing one onion, buy a whole bag of onions, chop them all and freeze in casserole-sized servings. When you have these meal-sized portions of meat and vegetables, it is a cinch to throw together a quick meal late in the afternoon. If you are just starting Menus 4 Moms, you will not have sauteed onions in your freezer.

This depends on personal preference as well as available floor space. Generally speaking, the upright freezer is easier to organize and takes up less floor space. Chest freezers, however, are usually more economical to operate.

Delighted. We've heard some bad things about Norcold from time to time, but in our experience it has been bulletproof. We would do it again. In our case, the reality is that the staircase to the boat/bridge deck was a major selling point. We use it constantly as a convenience, and when raising or lowering the dinghy, it is an essential safety feature. Absent the stairs we'd have to leave the dink at some stage of hanging while we changed places via the pilothouse/salon route.

Vacuum-packed pouches like the ones we use to deliver Brothers Blend to you are generally said to provide 2-3 YEARS of protection against freezer burn. We'll be a little more cautious and say that Brothers Blend will remain perfect for serving up to 1 year from the date of manufacture. For mail order (or web) customers who have our product shipped to them, we like to sell it in 3 month supplies, to minimize shipping costs.

Take a few minutes to clean out your freezer before your session. If you can’t remember when you bought it or tell what it is, it’s probably a good idea to toss it. 12 full-size entrees will fit in a standard refrigerator/freezer with room left over for your basic necessities. It's a tight fit but worth the reward! [back] Use your freezer checklist provided at your session to plan which ones you want to cook and keep track of the meals you’ve eaten.

Because freezing keeps food safe almost indefinitely, recommended storage times are for quality only. Refer to the freezer storage chart at the end of Focus on Freezing, which lists optimum freezing times for best quality. If a food is not listed on the chart, you may determine its quality after defrosting. First check the odor. Some foods will develop a rancid or off odor when frozen too long and should be discarded.

No more than one daily bag limit of each kind of fish, mollusk or crustacean may be taken or possessed by any one person, regardless of whether they are fresh, frozen or otherwise preserved. If you already have a limit of salmon in your possession at home, you may not target salmon or keep salmon caught incidentally while fishing for other species.

We formulate our yogurt for immediate consumption. That is why if you take home Golden Spoon Yogurt and freeze it, it will be very hard! It is best to let the yogurt thaw a little before eating it. This will make it more flavorful. The best way to prepare hard-packed yogurt is let it stay at room temperature for about 10 minutes, until you can scoop it out. Then "stir" the yogurt with a fork to return it to its optimum consistency.
