Whether it's leftovers or groceries that you want to get the most out of, here are 12 foods that you should never freeze when storing them at home.
5. Potatoes
Raw potatoes do not do well in the freezer. They will turn mushy and watery from the cold. They can also become really tough. A good way around this is to prepare a batch of freezer fries that can be stored for days and weeks at a time. Photo: Shutterstock
6. Milk
Going through a lot of milk in your household? Well, batch buying and freezing half price milk is not the solution. Defrosting frozen milk will make it clumpy and leave it with an odd taste. Photo: Shutterstock
7. Cooked Pasta
If you have cooked too much pasta the fridge is the best storage place for your leftovers. Once you take pasta out of the freezer, it will turn into a squishy puddle, losing all its shape and flavour. Photo: Shutterstock
8. Fried Foods
Any sort of fried food should not go into the freezer drawer. Its crispy texture will collect moisture when frozen, leaving it a soggy mess once it's thawed out. Photo: Shutterstock
