If I get too impatient I end up blotting them with paper towels to get more water off. Then put them loosely on wax paper on a cookie sheet, and put it in the freezer that way first. Quick freeze method. The faster they freeze the less mushy, icy, freezer burn they become...then they are not all frozen in one big beany ice block... Once frozen on the tray, you may gather the loose beans up and then put them in ziplock freezer bags or plastic freezer containers to keep them frozen nicely for quite a long while. About Summer Squash/Zucchini: It took them about 5 minutes in ice bath until very cold too stop all the cooking. Then dried on towels too and patted dry, trying to avoid as much ice crystal build up as possible in the freezer. They did really well on the wax paper first same as beans, but I am sure they will be considerably more mushy once defrosted. I simply froze the grated zucchini (2 cup portions for zucchini bread)double bagged, without blanching and have heard of several other people having success that way too, although I did read that instead of boiling you can steam grated squash in a sieve 3 inches above boiling water for 5 min.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
