The 10 Foods You Will Regret Placing in the Freezer

#1 – Dairy Products

In fact, only few dairy products can handle being frozen, as some of them would become watery and lose their rich taste and texture in that dark cold box. Try freezing sour cream and you’ll see how it will separate and become so gross.

But you can still freeze cream with sugar, whipped cream, and high-fat cream, as well as cheese as long as it has more than 40% of fat. Milk can also be frozen as long as it hasn’t been removed from its original container.

Keep in mind that thawed milk isn’t a good idea if you want to drink it straight since it will turn lumpy, but it can do well if you want to use it in cooking.

#2 – Raw Potatoes

Potatoes are one of the foods that hate the freezer. Once placed there, raw potatoes will become black! Also, potatoes are watery vegetables, meaning that ice crystals will accumulate when you place them in the freezer. The worst part is when you’ll thaw it because you’ll end up with the mushiest potato you’ve ever seen. (No one is going to get near that!)

This veggie should be stored in a cool and dry spot in the kitchen. Moreover, potatoes can last longer than most other veggies, just make sure to consume them before they start to sprout or soften.

However, the potatoes can be frozen in their puree form, so you may consider making extra potato puree and store for later consumption, and it can last for 4 to 6 months in the freezer.
