Allotments 4 All

Do I need to par-boil burssels before freezing or can I simply shove them into a freezer bag and freeze?  ???

Almost every guide, for everything, will say blanch. Assuming long term storage.
If only storing for a month or so, most experience will say no need. BUT, especially with sprouts, you really ought to have the freezer below -20C - slow freezing just kills anything. = Tim

Interesting point about the freeze temp. We have only just got our allotment so nothing to freeze yet. However when we do how is this best achieved? given that you already have stuff in the freezer. Is it a case of just setting the temp lower and then putting things in?

We have a fast freeze button on the small freezer, would that be for lowering the temp?

Cheers
