"Freezing stops bacterial growth and slows decomposition enzymes to a crawl, making it one of the most reliable forms of food preservation. Early frozen foods may have been iffy, but now freezing is a well-proven way to capture foods at their freshest and (mostly) highest quality."
"When it's done right, fried chicken is a glorious thing: crisp, golden, and delicately crunchy on the outside, but juicy and perfectly cooked on the inside. Unfortunately, trying to capture that same feeling with frozen fried chicken... will inevitably be disappointing."
Frozen food revolutionized food preservation by halting bacterial growth and slowing decomposition. While freezing captures freshness, not all foods are suitable for freezing. Fried chicken, for example, loses its ideal texture and flavor when frozen, leading to disappointment. A trained chef shares insights on which frozen foods to avoid based on their impact on flavor and texture, emphasizing the importance of quality in frozen meals.
