freezing half-and-half
I've done several searches about freezing half-and-half and come up with
different answers. I have a half-gallon I just got and I'll never use it all before it goes, so I'm going to try freezing it anyway. I know it'll separate when I freeze it...but will it blend back together if shaken well? My two main uses for half-and-half are in coffee and to make quiches. The coffee is going to be touchy-- but when it's thawed, will it work well for cooking something like a quiche? J.S. Seattle |

freezing half-and-half
It will separate. The look and mouth-feel will be quite disgusting when
poured into coffee. Shaking, blending, or stirring won't help. I never tried to cook with separated half-and-half, but I imagine that the fact that it's separated will mean that it won't mix well with the other ingredients. Possibly nasty. |

I've frozen whole milk, buttermilk, half/half, heavy cream and even sour cream. Since I mostly use that stuff for cooking, it comes out just fine. Most of the buttermilk was actually used for drinking and it came out just fine as well. When mom was dying, she had a sensitive stomach and buttermilk helped. It was nice to be able to purchase several 1/2 gallon containers at a time and freeze it so it'd be on hand whenever she needed it with just a quick thaw in the microwave. -- Om.
