Chelle in MO Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I accidentally froze a pound of this. Will it still be good for smoothies if I thaw it in the frig first? Thanks in advance, Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 test the consistency first to make sure it won't get lumpy. I used to freeze my tofu to toughen it up to give it more of a meaty consistency, but I used the extra firm for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Thanks for the replies, you two. I suppose I have nothing to lose by giving it a try, huh? I hope the smooth consistency holds up. Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdeveson Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Tofu freezes very well. When you defrost it, it will lose liquid (just like meat), so you'll end up with slight "harder" tofu. Like the previous poster, I like to use defrosted tofu for stir fries because I don't have to spend so much time squishing the water out of it. Try a bit in your smoothie, it should be fine. If you find it lumps a bit, save it for the wok. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Thank you for the advice, Toni. I'll see what happens when it thaws this weekend. Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 O.k., friends, it's thawed now. It has a flaky consistency, like a fish fillet. I really want it to disappear (texture-wise) in the smoothies. Do you think it will? I'd hate to try it out and waste the other ingredients if it won't. Will you give me your opinions, please? Thanks, Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Well, I pitched it. Didn't want to risk ruining the other ingredients. I'll keep a better watch on my garage frig next time the temp drops so low! Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
