Cooked food
The length of time you can store cooked dishes reduces if you use bacon or smoked ham to season dishes.
Put them directly on the hob or in the oven without defrosting them.
Vegetables
We recommend that you blanch the vegetables with steam so that they do not lose their vitamins and
mineral salts in the cooking water. You therefore do not need to wait until they are dry before freezing
them, just until they cool down.
In general, vegetables are better if they are cooked directly, without being frozen. Reduce the cooking
time, taking into account the blanching time before freezing.

do not blanch
(1) Add a little vinegar or lemon juice to the cooking water (slightly acid water).
(2) Pickle in brine before cooking.
(3) During defrosting, these vegetables reduce to a mush because they contain enormous amounts of water.
We recommend that you defrost them only if you wish to eat them coked.
