Freezing Techniques

Extreme close up of flattened silicone freezer bags organized vertically

Do not cook daily. Utilize the concept of parallel processing: output double or triple the volume of a single recipe without increasing the active preparation time by a proportional amount.

The Flat Freeze Protocol

Liquid and semi-liquid assets (soups, sauces, curries) should be stored in silicone bags. Press the air out and lay them flat on a baking sheet until frozen solid. Once frozen, index them vertically like files in a cabinet. This yields a 40% increase in storage volume efficiency.

Asset Type Cooling Duration Freezer Life Max
Liquid Broth Matrix 1 Hour (ambient) 6 Months
Cooked Grains (Rice/Quinoa) Spread flat on tray 3 Months
Blanched Vegetables Ice bath immediately 8 Months
