I tried freezing tofu awhile back. I squeezed out the water like the book said. When I went to use it it didn't really look appetizing. It had sort of yellowed/browned on the outside. Is that normal? Is it better to cook it and then freeze it? |

I checked my one tofu cookbook, which had a brief blurb about frozen tofu, but it didn't mention anything about a changing yellow/brown color. And I've never actually frozen just a slab of tofu myself---only after it's ialready cooked n some kind of cassarole recipe--so I haven't had that experience. So, sorry, I actually have no advice....except maybe call the tofu company and ask them about it? There's usually a toll-free number on the packages... Good luck!

I'd love to know myself as I'm considering freezing it too. I think I'd like the consistency better once it's frozen, thawed and cooked - I like that "spongy" texture that it supposedly has once frozen. |

I've frozen "raw" tofu a couple of times and it didn't discolor. I just plopped it into a plastic container and stuck it in the freezer. I used it within a few days, though, so I don't have anything to say about what might happen if you leave it longer.

Stephanie, I think I will contact them. I can tell you it looks pretty unpalatable at this point. LOL It would be nice to know if it's safe or not. If I get an answer I will let you guys know. |
