How Do You Preserve Food Using Dry Ice?
Flash freezing with dry ice is a cheap, quick, and easy way to preserve most kinds of food, but fruits and vegetables work particularly well. Freezing with dry ice is very quick and causes less damage to the food (e.g. freezer burn, ruined taste, etc.) than traditional freezing methods. In fact, fruits and vegetables often show no signs of being frozen at all using this method of preservation. Dryicedirectory.com is a good site for finding a dry ice dealer near you. Place the bag of dry ice at the bottom of a decent sized cooler. Wash your fruits and vegetables and place them on a cookie sheet that will fit easily into the cooler. Place the the cookie sheet in the cooler over the dry ice and close the lid. Remove the cookie sheet when the food is frozen, place food in freezer bags, and store bags in the freezer. Food will keep indefinitely and will taste much fresher that traditionally frozen food.
