Because cucumbers contain a lot of water, not all housewives risk freezing them, because after thawing, the vegetables lose their crispy texture, become limp and lose a lot of liquid.
However, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova, is confident that if you properly prepare cucumbers for freezing, you can achieve impressive results.
How to Freeze Cucumbers Properly
If you decide to preserve cucumbers and choose freezing instead of canning, the first thing you should do is wash the fruits and dry each of them.
After this, the green cucumbers can be cut into circles or half-circles, depending on your personal preference.
If you plan to make okroshka from frozen cucumbers, you should cut them into cubes. You should do the same with vegetables if you plan to make Olivier or another salad.
True, the best way to use frozen cucumbers is to add them to sauce.
Now the resulting blanks should be laid out on a cutting board covered with cling film in one layer.
In this form, the cucumbers should be placed in the freezer for several hours, and after 1-2 hours, when the cucumbers are frozen, they can be placed in bags.
