How to Freeze Celery
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- I freeze celery for the convenience and when I can get it on sale. It works very well in dishes that are cooked. Paid $1.88 per bunch June 2013, paid $ .69 a bunch in November 2012, paid $ .50 a bunch at Aldi Grocery Store November 2011. Fresh food prices have really skyrocketed over the last few years. The only answer seems to be "grow your own"!
I love her son who keeps her channel running. The apple does not fall far from the tree the saying goes he is a spitting image of her with her kindness and personality and calmness
Bless you angel in heaven Phyllis😇. I appreciate all of the videos that you’ve made. You’ll never be forgotten🥰
Your knowledge, your voice and your lovely Godly spirit will always be with me!😇 You’re an angel❤️❤️
Just a suggestion for you. When my Mom blanched vegetables from the garden for freezing, she used ice water. For large batches you fill your clean sink with water and ice and then just use a slotted spoon or spider and lift the veggies from the boiling water into the sink of ice water. The quicker you can stop the cooking process the better. :)
What a great teacher Phyllis was. Many jewels in her crown. She shared so much and her videos will help so many novice homemakers. Thanks again for keeping these videos on.
Good video. This is what I do. I am a very older person,an by myself now for 15 years. I became so tired of
Wasting money Not buying what I needed to my good food for just me. So I started doing this type of thing.
Celery will last me a month. Fruit for smoothie will last me all month. I go to the store only once a month
an I make good food the whole time. All of you older people that are having to live on a real fixed income
Try her way of cooking and saving things. It really works. And you can do this and still watch Judge Judy
At the same time. Love watching you and Mr Buckey.
I'm a "very older person, too, LOL! Thanks for the tip or reminder about multitasking this task and watching Judge Judy, LOL.
I can't believe the people that throw away the leaves! Love the leaves in soups or fresh salad. I will try this, I am single so a package of celery goes to waste. NO MORE! Thanks for the video.
Right
Me too.
To keep one bunch of celery fresh longer than usual I wrap the celery in aluminum foil. This will keep the celery fresh for 3-4 weeks, so if you need one or two stalks of celery you can save the rest for a good while. I saw this on another youtube channel and tried it and it really works.
Is there anyone else out there that feels like crying when they watch Phyllis' videos? I love this woman... I was so excited when I first started watching her videos this year in 2019 to 2020 and then to find out that she and Mr. Bucky had passed away felt like a knife going through my heart. I wonder if the sadness will ever go away.
God bless them! And you too!
Me
I just started watching her. I'm very sad to see that she passed away. She was a very cool lady with a whole lot of knowledge!!
I watched this in 2016. Decided to try this last fall and it worked perfectly. I also, did some green, and red bell peppers. Saved me loads of money. Thanks Phyllis
❤️ thanks for keeping her channel available to us... God bless!!!
I really miss Phyllis and Mr. Bucky. I still watch her videos and learn something every time. She was a blessing.
I agree!
Me too. I can always find some kind of tip I need or learn fr her channel.
Steven I Miss Your Mother and Also Mr. Buckie so Much Even Though I Can Still Watch Their Videos! Thank You So Much for Letting All of Those Who Loved Them So Much to Still Be Able to See Them Today! GOD Bless You and Your Family Always💙💔🙏...
just wanted to say I'm a huge fan, from your tips on cooking to dogs! You have a real, down to earth charm, that makes us feel like we're right there in your home. Thank you for these videos!
thank you so much for your tips, I used to buy a bunch use only 2 or 3 stalks and the rest garbage, save me time and money. thanks again.
A little tip on getting excess air out of bag, close bag except for a little corner, stick in a drinking straw and suck up excess air, pinch straw, pull out quickly and close corner. Almost as good as those suction machines.
Thank you, Phyllis, I don't have anyone to teach me this stuff. You're the world's grandma!! Keep doing these videos. We need you!!
Love your comment. Yes, she is the world's grandma and she is teaching us things no one else is.
She is missed by us all. I too have learned so much from her. All the things I forgot to ask my mom before I lost her. ♥️
Indeed her gentleness, soothing voice and wonderful grandmotherly advice is sorely missed. May she and her beloved husband Mr. Bucky Rest In Peace.
For anyone watching this video if you take the bottom part off you can root that in water and then stick it in soil and it grows celery back.
You can save your blanching liquid for watering plants with once it has cooled.
E.M Johnson Im curious,about the purpose of watering plants with celery water what is the benefit.Im a beginner gardener.
That's a Nugget💥💥
Steven Love your videos just like I enjoyed the ones your Mom did ! Keep them coming you are doing great ! Thought I would tell you I learned if you put your dry cloves of garlic in a jar and shake them up some it will loosen the outside jacket and basically peal themselves. ..then you don't have to peal them! God Bless You All!
Your video was truly an in depth tutorial on how to blanch celery....I learned a lot from you and so I thank you for sharing your method,
Someone mentioned this before, but going to reiterate. I wrap my celery, inside the bag, in foil. It will keep in the fridge for a long time. Since I’ve started doing this, I’ve not ever had any cottony insides. It saves on the slimy celery and you don’t throw it away.
Hi Phyllis.
Another thing you can do with celery is when you cut the bottom off, place with bottom side down in a Styrofoam cup and what will happen is it will start growing roots. Then just plant in some dirt and leave in your kitchen. New stalks will start to grow.
Have a good evening
Liz
When u put it in a Styrofoam cup, does it need water?
Yes, I do this also!
I never knew you could freeze celery. And I'm kicking myself now because I threw all the leaves in the bin last night!! Thank you Phyllis - RIP darling x
I sure miss you! Thank you Miss Phylis for teaching us so much. You’re still a blessing to so many ppl.
Your voice is mesmerizing!
💯%
Discovered last summer that a salad spinner is great for getting excess moisture out of blanched vegetables and saving on your towels.
now theres a great idea, thanks
Thanks Stephen for keeping your mom’s channel going. So hard to believe she is no longer with us😇
You are very welcome!
Thank you for sharing this information! I now know what I've been doing wrong. Your momma shared an abundant of details. Thank you again! 😊
Oh Miss Phillis, you just popped in to show me this I know. I sure do miss you, as so many others do. I just know your cooking in heaven. Thank you so much for leaving these videos up to her son. ❤
Excellent technique to save celery. Thank you.
your videos are great,. simple and basic. no louder music or silly stuff.
God bless you miss P we miss you so much you’ve been a blessing to all of us.
I hope you’re happy with your husband in heaven
I just found this video and subscribed to her channel. Did she pass 😔
@@lorensimao393 I just found her!
Great video! I just bought a bunch of carrots and celery at Costco and was looking for a way to freeze it. Your video was very helpful! Thanks for sharing. :)
Nick ~ Dallas, TX
Thank you so much for sharing. I usually buy the whole bunch just for a couple of stalks. This will save so much time!
You can actually let the water cool and drink a glass every morning. Its good for you
it sure is
Yes very healthy
The celery water would have made an excellent soup base for broccoli/cheddar soup!
L Warren I make a celery cooler drink with mine.
i was just about to write the same thing - all that goodness just thrown down the plug hole !!
I was wondering can we use the celery wather wen gets cool to wash our face?
Saving the water is another good tip. Thanks
L Warren I’m gonna try it, thanks
I didn't know you could freeze celery.i learn something new every time I visit your channel😀
Me too
we miss this wonderful lady, Thank you for the videos : )
This is awesome, I love the taste of celery, I am going to try this with other stalk vegetables, like swish chard, Bak Choi and so on.
I’m watching this January 7, 2021. Phyllis’ videos are still important to me and so full of information.
...am watching in October!
I'm watching today July 2023 😊
love Mrs.stokes thank thank you for all the videos:D
Thank you for the information! I am growing Celery this year and Its one of those foods that seams harder to store.
Stephen, thank you for saving your Mom's recipe videos!💙😇💙
Wow, what a time saver!👍 I am going to try this today. I have a bunch of celery that needs saving before it goes south on me. I use alot of celery in soups, stir frys, meatloaf, & casseroles.
Have a blessed day!🙏
Thanks my friend for your cooking videos, you may not be with us in the physical, but you're in our hearts always! I still love hearing your voice!!🥰😍🤩
Lol '' I know this video is older ,but I wanted to share your idea .I cube & freeze celery I also cube red,green bell peppers freeze them in large Ziploc bags I noticed bell peppers get really pricey in the summer here in Missouri like $ 3.00 for 2 Outrageous '' I also saw on one of your videos where you cubed and froze onions -- fabulous idea I do this to now very Convention just have to sprinkle it in the pan with the meal your cooking and - Voilà '' its done . But I also learned to double tripple bag onions for otherwise the whole freezer smells like onion HaHa'' anyway thanks for sharing your wonderful videos I've fixed alot of your meals ,and learned alot of new ideas and helpful cooking hints . Helpful for- I work as a cook at Missouri Head Start .
You may have heard about this already, but I wrap my celery in aluminum foil and keep in the fridge. Amazing how it stays fresh for so long. I have saved a lot of money this way, especially now that I am spending the extra for 'Organic' vegetables. Thanks for the tips on how to freeze. I often buy in bulk and this will save space and veggies.
I've never had luck with celery more than a week it goes mushy ,soft,& brown...even the organic...
10yrs ago the celery was different it lasted 2-3 week...
Any tips😉
I tried foil. It rotted. lol
I do also! I don’t know where I found this tip but when I tell people that, they think I’m crazy. But! I haven’t had a cottony center since I started doing this. I leave mine in the bag and then I wrap in foil.
My Grandmother used to dry celery leaves, crush it and use it as a spice when making soups and stocks.
How did she dry them? In the oven on low, or ???
@@suemauer5965 She strung them on thread and hung them in the kitchen.
Sue Mauer Hello, I have never dehydrated celery stalks or leaves n the oven, but I had tomato slices n the oven, mine is a gas stove, only the pilot light was needed, now I use a dehydrator. Have a wonderful day
Don't compost it, set it in some water and grow another celery
Thank you for this video, Phyllis. I have frozen celery twice now. It is so convenient to use in homemade vegetable soup. No more wasting celery! Thanks again!
I love how you explained all the steps❤
I never knew you could freeze celery..thanks for the info
Your the best. Thanks for sharing all your receipts and tips.
Watching to learn how to stretch our celery out during this time. Can always come back here . Miss you Phyllis and Mr. Stokes. 😔😔😔
Phyllis passed away in January. Her son has taken the channel over. His name is Steven. Try sending an email to him. There’s no way I know to STRETCH, use less.
I’ve replied below. Sorry not much help.
I'm so in love with her teaching,she reminds me so much of my self,bless missed her.
I didn't realize Ms Phyllis is no longer with us...my condolences go out to all her family!
Thank-you. A very thorough lesson.
ive just found this I love Phyllis,s voice and mannerisms ,sad shes gone x
Phyllis. .I was wondering if you might be willing to do a video showing you frezzer and how you keep it organized with all of your items that you frezze..thank you so much:)
I'm having freezer organization problems, too.
Use stackable baskets
When I use celery I never need much and most of it goes bad . Thanksgiving is the only time I use all of it , thank you 😊 this is very helpful
What a wonderful woman she was. And she is still teaching through her videos.
Wow, I never have that little bit of celery I would like for soup and never knew how to preserve it! Thank you.
Hello Phyllis...thank you so much...I love your videos
i really love watching your videos..i learn so much ..thank you for your videos..tomorrow i will be freezing celery 😉 i didnt know you could do that...i always end up throwing mine away bcuz i never use all of it..i also didn't know about the leaves..i always threw mine away...not anymore .thx again.
I was watching this guy show me how to freeze onions and after his video ended Ms. Phyllis popped up! I can't wait to see her in Paradise and tell her how much I learned from her videos!
Revelation 21:3,4
You can use an old toothbrush for that, and it won't hurt your vegetables.
Hi Phyllis, can I freeze pak choi using the same method? there's a lot in the garden and I don't want to waste it. Thank you for a great video!
Hello Nancy, if u haven’t tried it yet, I don’t see why not, I really don’t see a difference with pak Choi, Swiss chard, any stalk vegetables. It never hurts to give it a try, I plan to! Have a wonderful day
Thank you, Thank you for teaching me this. I've learned so much from you channel.....DO NOT stop making videos. You're wonderful! A great teacher!
GENIUS thank you. I can't diget onion, so I use a stick of celery with a few onion granuals in place of onion in recipies but there was a lot of wastage as even eaten raw there was only so much I could eat before it went limp. Will be freezing it from now on, thank you .
Love this! Learn so much about freezing.
Thank you ma'am for teaching us this wonderful tips... May your soul rest in peace...
Fun Tip...if you put the base she chopped off into water, and place in a sunny spot inside or out it will grow more celery 😄
This has been really helpful. I never knew you could freeze celery. Thank you 😊
I have to put the fresh leaves in my salad mix. Thought I'd share something I learned a long time ago, about the time plastic bags hit the market. If you have a straw ( plastic, paper, Steele, etc) place it in a corner of the bag. The zip the bag up against it as far as you can. You merely suck the air out of the bag, hold the bag tightly and remove the straw while you firmly zip it shut. This was used before vacuum sealers!
yes, my mother inlaw always did this. I use a vacuum sealer, I hate when ice forms on frozen items that you can't use up fast enough. I hate throwing away food.
Hello Virginia, I have heard of using straws to suck out the air, I have never tried it, but u gave me an idea, I’m gonna see which will remove the most air, me or the break bleeder. Thank u and have a wonderful day!
🌿🍎🌱🥑🍋🌶🍏🍒🌽🍊🌿
Thank you Phyllis. You're the world's grandma, who is still teaching us wonderful things about the love of food and life.
Still teaching us !! Miss you sweet Lady !!!!
You are such a great lady too share your knowledge with us. You are so easy to listen too. Your instructions are so well done and easy to follow. Thank you! Happy cooking ... :)
for all those who think that she is wasting time, money, and water, consider the whole picture. She's not having to use portions of this water every single time she has celery. instead, she is watching a great deal of celery all at once. the amount of water probably equals close to the amount you would have used to clean individual celery each and every time. (Even if jets was a bit more, it wouldn't be that much of a difference. and washing is essential when it comes to a pesticide-ridden vegetable like celery! )
Have you heard of once a month cooking? it takes 2-3 DAYS of planning, shopping, preparing, cooking, and labeling - which is why many people get together to do this. makes it more fun, and each person has a role.In exchange, she has feed up at least a MONTH of daily cooking, except for asking fresh ingredients, like a salad - which, again, can be prepared for several days.
THEREFORE, she has freed up her days to be Able to spend it with lived ones, not spending all that time, daily, in the kitchen!
Before going against this, just do some research. seriously. You would be amazed at the amount of time and resources you SAVE by doing it all at one time.
she mentioned how she puts celery in meals, right? This step will make those tasks quicker, and with no more running water.
HOWEVER, I DO appreciate the lessons you guys thought about saving lives. I want to look into some of those myself. address to every bit helps, even when bulk cooking. so thank you!
Looks like a cream o' celery soup or some fine green smoothie makin's, very useful channel
downbntout
You taught me to freeze onions, peppers. Havent tried celery yet. So handy to have in the freezer.
Mrs. Phillis I love 2eat that part of the celery that you throw in2 compost. Mail it 2me I’ll eat it up like pac man. Lol really tho I wash it really good and enjoy.. I know you did this video in 2013. But I like 2learn from you.
Place fresh celery in a vessel of water, cover the top of it loosely with a plastic bag, I use the one it came in, and it keeps crisp and fresh in the frig for a couple months. At least that is the longest I kept mine before I used it all. It may even keep longer.
I do the same. In a long glass spaghetti vase.
Can I just say how lovely your skin is, hardly any lines, do you have any particular product or facial routine? This video was really useful, didn’t know you could freeze it, but I suppose you can freeze most things if you prepare it properly prior to freezing.
I know you filmed this a long time ago but I am so happy. I have a big bunch of celery and l didn't know if you could freeze it. Bless you my dear, I'm still praying for you everyday.
I would save the water and freeze for soups or for your smoothies :)
GREAT JOB! Very informative, and done in a very relaxing, highly detailed, instructional style. You, give this video, a feels like I'm right there, in your kitchen with you, charm! Please continue to make such videos.
(At first, I thought this vid, was going to be too long, but, it didn't seem like it, at all. You've included everything I could ever, possibly need to know about freezing celerey. A pleasure to watch and listen to you, at work. GOOD TEACHER!)
thank you because i do not use the whole bunch of celerey
I love this lady. That is, if you can love someone that has passed on.
I love everything about her. I am so thankful her wisdom is here on you tube to pass on. I am 65 and learn from each of her videos. God Bless her son and her family. VMR
If you sit the bag in a bowl of water, up to the top of the bag ,just before the opening all the air will come out and then seal the bag and put it in the freezer.
Thank you so very much
I'm here today because I have 3 bunches of celery I want to freeze for winter. Phyllis is still teaching us. It's so good to hear her voice today.
Thanks for the tip about using celery leaves as a substitute for parsley. Good to know.
Hi Doris, as far as the nutritional value after freezing celery, I really don't know but would assume it didn't lose much of it's nutritional value from being frozen and maybe just a little from being pare cooked. If you don't mind it not being crunchy in a salad by all means use it in a salad. It will thaw very quickly. My blender actually chops it up better if it's still frozen. Thanks for watching and commenting. Phyllis
Thanks for posting this video. I am a visual person, so this video was a huge help. You have a new subscriber.
Great vid! Lots of nuggets, thanks!
Once again ,thank you Phyllis. Never have I ever known you could freeze celery.
I freeze celery also, makes it very handy when cooking! Thank you for keeping her channel going. Love her!
I have a colender just like yours. It was my momma's. I think its old. Do you know if its old?
If it's aluminum with drain holes in a star design it's probably from the 1950's just like this one which
belonged to my mother. I have since replaced it with a stainless steel colender because one of the
little feet broke off and it would no longer sit level.
I hope you have bought a Food Saver by now. I love mine.
me too!
ME TOO!
Best kitchen tool ever.
Was wonder the same thing, would it be better to vacuum seal.
Also, you just cut up the celery and vacuum seal at keep in fridge without blanch to extend the life somewhat?
RIP Phyllis. I miss you and your videos. You taught me a lot about cooking.
Thank you so much for this info. I really appreciate it
