Subject: RE: BS: To blanch or not to blanch...
Not a gardener but I would just like to say the quality of freezers has declined. A true freezer should attain a temp of at least -18C and many only get to -12C (this is especially true of freezer compartments of fridges with combined cooling of the refridgeration and freezing compartments and such should only be used for freezing goods of a high rate of turnover... a few months max). Be very careful when purchasing a freezer and make sure you get the specs in writing before hand. Put nothing in the new freezer and use a reliable thermometer to ensure it will attain the proper temp. If not, demand a refund within one week.

Check out freezing food properly at the government food safety websites. Your health lies in the balance.

I knew a lass named Blanche very well. She was hot.
