How do I freeze food?

Freezing 101

Casseroles, pasta dishes, stews, and soups are all good candidates for
freezing. Just follow these simple steps:

1) Cool completely before freezing.

2) Use rigid containers or plastic freezer bags meant for
freezing. Old containers don't seal in freshness or keep
the air out.

3) Leave some space (about 1/2") at the top of the container
to allow for the food to expand as it freezes.

4) Remove as much air as possible from freezer bags.
