| 3549.1 | Freezing popcorn worked for me | SHARE::RICHARDSON | welcome to our 1st annual bizarre | Thu Jun 18 1992 13:10 | 8 |
| I used to get my popcorn through a food co-op (translation: in vast
quantities). I would throw it in the freezer in either a large Zip-loc
type bag or a large Tupperware container, and when my "kitchen" container
of it ran out, I just refilled it from the one in the freezer. I never
noticed any difference in popping or degradation of flavor, and some of
it was in the freezer for a *lloooonnnngggg* time.

| Thanks for sharing your success with me. Tonight, I will start
putting them into ziploc bags for freezing.

| A trick that I've used with a lot of success when freezing stuff in zip-lock
bags is as follows -
Run the zip-lock almost completely closed, except for the last 3/4" or so.
Stick the end of a soda straw into the remaining opening and suck the bulk
of the remaining entrapped air out of the bag with the straw. As the bag
collapses on the contents, pull out the straw and complete the seal of the
zip-lock.
It won't actually create a vacuum, but it'll remove enough of the air
that you'll significantly reduce the freezer burn which results normally
in a package which has entrapped air.

| 3549.4 | we freeze ours | LEDS::SIMARD | just in time..... | Mon Jun 22 1992 08:22 | 6 |
| I had heard once that freezing popcorn resulted in more kernals popped.
We keep all the microwave popcorn in the freezer. I guess, because I
buy so much at a time time that I am concerned about the fats going
rancid, as well as hoping it improves the popping.
