HINTS ON COOKING FROZEN FOODS
72. VEGETABLES
In cooking any frozen vegetable it is necessary to
bring to the boiling point as quickly as possible to pre-
serve flavor, color and vitamins. Do not thaw before
cooking. The one exception is corn on the cob, which
should always be thawed.
FRUITS
Do not remove frozen fruits from the package before
you are ready to use them. Otherwise they will discolor
and lose the fresh flavor. Most fruits are best when
thawed just enough to melt the ice crystals. Fruits that
are to be cooked should not be thawed. Instead, follow
the same procedure as for vegetables.
MEATS
With the exception of large cuts, which may not cook
evenly, meats may be cooked when solidly frozen. Cook-
ing must be done at a low temperature and the time
lengthened. If thawing is preferred, thaw as slowly as
possible, as less moisture and flavor will be lost.
