7種你沒有意識到應該放在冰箱裏的食物
BREAD
麪包When you're not feeding a passel of people every day, a whole loaf of bread can be daunting to get through within a week. A good solution? Freezing what you won't eat immediately. Then, simply pop slices in the toaster when you need them.
當你每天不用爲一羣人做飯時，一週內吃完一整條麪包是很艱鉅的。好的解決方法？把你暫時不吃的先冷凍起來。然後，在你想吃的時候放到烤麪包機裏烤一下就行啦。CHEESE
奶酪
Yep, cheese — specifically pre-grated cheese. This will save you time on weeknights and spare you from having to wash that tricky grater after every single cheesy meal. Just shred a block, pop portions in sealed BAgs and toss them in the deep chill. It cooks up just as quickly as fresh cheese.
是的，奶酪——尤其是已經磨碎的奶酪。冷凍起來將會節省你工作日晚的時間，同時每吃完一頓芝士飯後還能讓你不用再去洗繁雜的磨碎機。只要將奶酪塊磨碎，放在密封袋裏，然後將它們放到冰箱裏冷凍。做飯的時候，冷凍芝士與新鮮芝士一樣容易融化。RIPE BANANAS
熟透的香蕉Past-their-prime bananas are perfect for banana bread, but not everyone has time for baking midweek. If your bunch is turning fast, stick the bananas in the freezer. They're also great to add to smoothies — just peel, chop them up and chill.
熟透的香蕉特別適合做香蕉麪包，但並不是每個人都有時間在週三烘焙香蕉麪包的。如果你買的那堆香蕉熟的很快，那就把它們放到冰箱裏吧。同樣，放到奶昔裏面也很好喝——只要剝掉香蕉皮，切成一塊塊的，放到冰箱冷凍就行了。GINGER
生薑Turns out that ginger grates much easier when frozen — just make sure you peel it before freezing. And even if you're not planning to grate your ginger, freezing still keeps ginger usable in the long term (because no one ever uses the whole thing, right?). Freeze it in 1-inch cubes and thaw before chopping.
事實上冷凍後的生薑更好切碎——只是要確保冷凍前把皮刨了。即使你不打算切碎生薑，冷凍起來也能讓它們的食用期更久（因爲沒有人會用整塊姜的，對吧？）。把它們冷凍在一英尺的製冰格里，切之前要化凍。HOT PEPPERS
紅辣椒High-quality produce is hard to come by during the cold winter months. Sherry Rujikarn, associate food editor in the Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen, stocks up on her favourite fresh chillis at the farmers' market during warmer months and gets to work.
寒冷的冬季很少產出這種高質量的農作物。Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen雜誌的副食物編輯Sherry Rujikarn就會在較暖的月份從農貿市場購買她最喜歡的新鮮辣椒儲備。
FRESH HERBS
新鮮蔬菜When you buy coriander or dill sold in large bunches, it's usually way too much for one recipe. One way to store them is by pulsing chopped-up pieces with olive oil and pouring the mixture into an ice cube tray. Later, just toss a cube into a pot of sauce or soup when you need it.
當你購買大量的香菜和茴香時，通常一頓飯是用不完的。儲存這些蔬菜的一種方式就是把它們切碎放到橄欖油裏，然後將這一混合物放入到製冰格中。之後當你需要的時候，直接將凍好的一塊放入到醬汁或湯中就行了。WHOLE GRAIN FLOUR
全麥麪粉If you're trying to add more whole grains to your baking repertoire , take note: Whole grain flour can go rancid like nuts and won't just forever and ever like the white stuff. It's shelf life is only a few months, but freezing will extend it.
如果你正試着在你的烘焙容器中放入更多的全麥，請切記：全麥麪粉會像堅果一樣發酸，永遠不會像白麪粉一樣。全麥麪粉的保質期只有幾個月，但冷凍後會延長其保質期。
