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.
9. Gravy
If you have a thick gravy leftover from a roast dinner, particularly one with flour or cornstarch, the sauce will separate awkwardly if kept in a freezer. Photo: Shutterstock
10. Dairy Products
Any dairy heavy products like yoghurt, sour cream and custard should stay well away from the freezer. The products will separate and curdle after getting frozen and thawed. Photo: Shutterstock
11. Canned Goods
It may seem obvious, but canned goods should never go in the freezer. When the liquid freezes inside, the can has the risk of exploding. The same goes for beer and fizzy drinks. Photo: Shutterstock
12. Thawed Meat
If you have taken meat out of the freezer and let it thaw, you must not refreeze it. The meat will have allowed bacteria to grow once it thawed, leaving the meat at risk of causing illness when it is eaten. Photo: Shutterstock
