Yasu was my favorite sushi chef at Asuka (on Westwood Blvd). He left suddenly, and the place isn’t the same without him. In fact, it’s kinda empty. Anyone know where he landed?

Looking for a way to freeze muffins without having taste stale when I thaw them or from getting freezer burn. I was thinking if there might be good Ziploc freezer bags or containers or anything. Also, how long can they keep in...

developing freezer burn.

So I’ve had this block of salt pork in the freezer for a year or so, and when I pulled it out this week, it had a really odd smell I don’t remember. I only use it every 3-4 months, but could it have gone bad or...

probably nasty even for stock. Take a look — if its in good shape, use it, if there is lots of freezer burn, don’t.

OK, so this has been on the general board and some of the other city boards a fair amount… but, does anyone know where to obtain a glorious, meaty, oaty sack known as Haggis in Boston? Burns' Night is a day away….

If there’s no freezer burn, I’d defrost it and use it. If it looks like there’s freezer burn, I’d defrost it anyway, then do a quick sniff/taste test. I doubt the pesto’s gone “bad”, but...

've never noticed any deterioration in quality related to length of time in freezer, as long as the meat was tightly sealed to begin with. Freezer burn won’t harm you, but it’s not fun to eat either. Ground meat is...

Is there a way to minimize the ice/freezer burn in zip-locs that surrounds food? I usually buy meat, fish, etc in bulk then divide before freezing. Always icy looking. Occasionally happens to rolls too.

I know what you’re wondering. Why freeze chocolate cupcakes when you could just eat them? Well, I need to muster all the self-discipline I have and wait to serve them on Friday. So.....how do I wrap them to prevent freezer...

I think depending on the cut of beef, usually up to 12 months. Although I’ve kept stuff for a bit over a year when it fell to the bottom of my chest freezer, and it was fine, with very minor freezer burn that I was able to...

I was in Sam’s Club the other day and they had frozen “Bahamian” lobster tails. Surprisingly they were large and pretty good looking. Didn’t have any traces of freezer burn or other indications that they...
