Food Preparation
In Advance With the versatility and convenience
of Tupperware's ฎ revolutionary new product, Rock 'N Serve
, you can now freeze, reheat, serve and store your meals for up
to 3 months at a time!
An additional advantage is that you
will have meals on hand for unexpected guests or to share with those in
need because of illness, a death, moving, etc. Collect your recipes, have all needed
ingredients on hand, and start cooking. You can easily cook enough meals
for a month in only one day. The rest of the month you can spend your
time on other important activities. FREEZER STORAGE TIPS It's not safe to thaw food, especially meat, and then refreeze
it without first cooking it. Frozen
food that has been stored in moisture-proof containers with airtight lids
or seals will keep its color and flavor much longer. If you must use wraps,
foils and bags, then use wraps, foils and bags
specifically made for the freezer. Avoid using regular waxed paper; lightweight
aluminum foil, regular plastic wrap, cartons from cottage cheese or butter. Freeze
food quickly to 0ฐ or below. Post
a dated list of food on the freezer door, and keep it current. Use food frozen in non-Tupperware products
within six weeks. Use food frozen in Tupperware Rock N Serveฎ within
3 months. Thaw,
heat and serve food in rapid succession. Allow
hot foods to cool to room temperature before freezing. Blanch
or pre-cook all vegetables before freezing to top enzyme action and to
keep them from becoming discolored and mushy. Drain blanched vegetables
before freezing them. Don't
freeze the following foods. They will change color, texture or separate
in some way during the freezing or thawing process: Raw salad vegetables (such as lettuce,
radishes, tomatoes) Raw eggs in their shells or hard-cooked
eggs Raw potatoes or boiled white potatoes
(they turn black) Commercial cottage cheese Gelatin salads or desserts Icing made with egg whites, boiled
frostings, or cakes with cream fillings Instant rice (it dissolves and becomes
too mushy). You can freeze regular cooked rice Custard pies, cream pies, or pies
with meringue
