Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I will try First I just take out the blocks and slice them into slabs about an inch thick. Then I wrap it in a lent free towl (I find those nasy brown paper towels schools use the best) and squeeze till it's dry. Then if I have the forethought to freeze it I put it in baggies or containers (whichever I have on hand) and throw it in. It takes about a day to get it totally frozen. Then it takes a few hours to thaw, then I squeeze/press it again and follow the shake-n-bake instructions. most of the time since I can't plan out meals I don't freeze it, but it helps the texture. I found that freezing it for longer than a day or two makes it too tough when thawed so it's touch and go with me. I am finiky and when I want something I don't want to wait. And I can't plan meals cause I am a on a " what I am in the mood for " timer. It's so strange. Me and food have a very love hate relationship. Hope that helps?
