I just got one of those vacuum sealer thingies. And they really work. I've frozen some hab halves and it makes quite a neat package. No loss of color, no ice crystals. I will definitely seal and freeze habs and other peppers from now on. I have yet to try it for my fresh refrigerated stuff, but it should allow keeping them for weeks without molding. << Jim >> -----Original Message----- From: owner-chile-heads@globalgarden.com [mailto:owner-chile-heads@globalgarden.com]On Behalf Of Fred Morris Sent: Saturday, February 08, 2003 1:39 AM To: Chile-heads@globalgarden.com Subject: [CH] FROZEN HABS Thanks, Doug. I have frizzed them before, just threw them in the baggie first, though, and they are good, but don't have the crunch that a fresh one does - that's what I'm looking for. Does frizzing them on the plate first help in that respect? On a funny note, I threw one from the freezer in the microwave one time and tear gassed the DW who is definitely NOT one of us. If she could have quit coughing she would have killed me on the spot. Fred the habaneronut
