By tubs 17 Jul 2012 20:32	Breadcrumbs I freeze all my left over stale bread as breadcrumbs. Seal in a plastic bag or box. You can grab a handful at a time,they don't freeze in one huge lump. They don't go soggy either. I use them to top gratins, pad out beef burgers, amongst other things. Reply Quote

By Essex Girl 18 Jul 2012 08:31	Freezing Breadcrumbs I always keep a bag of breadcrumbs in the freezer. As Tubs said, they don't go solid and you can grab as few or as many as you like. Reply Quote

By sam from worthing 18 Jul 2012 09:41	fresh breadcrumbs how funny - i made turkey escalopes yesterday - and i made too much breadcrumbs, i was going to ask the exact same question. so that is all you do, just pop into a container freeze then grab how wver much you want in the future? and you can top your container up at any time? or would you use a new container? thanks for asking this gravy.

By tubs 18 Jul 2012 13:30	Breadcrumbs Sam, I top up the box when necessary, with fresh crumbs, giving it a little shake to mix the old ones into the new. I've come to no harm...........yet!!! Reply Quote
