But I bet you didn't know it can do a lot more than chill your red meats and ice cream.
Here are three things to keep in your freezer.
Number one, ice cube trays.
Most new freezers have ice makers, but don't throw out these plastic trays.
They're perfect for storing herbs for cooking.
To freeze herbs, sprinkle small bits into the tray.
Then pour in some olive oil to reduce browning and freezer burn.
Once they're frozen, take those cubes straight from the freezer, and put them into those roasts, stews, soups, or other meals.
Just be sure not to confuse your herb cubes with your ice cubes.
Number two, fresh berries.
It's like keeping summer in your freezer.
Here's a pro tip.
Don't just throw them in a bag.
Lay them out on a cookie sheet and put them in the freezer.
That way they won't stick together.
Mix them into a blender for a delicious smoothie.
Number three, Parmesan rinds.
Parmesan rinds may not look like much, but if used right, you can take your cooking to the next level.
Put them in soups while cooking, and the flavor will be soaked into the dish.
They're an inexpensive and low-cal way to add some zing to your menu.
Just remember to take them out before you serve.
Now you can impress your friends with your cooking.
Bon appetit.
