LAST IN THE FREEZER? Normally, hard cheese can last in the fridge for just over three weeks, while soft cheeses can last no more than one week. Most cheeses will freeze well but might


defrost a little crumbly. Avoid freezing soft cheeses like cream cheese or cottage cheese, as the texture will be too watery to be desirable. It is much better to grate cheese before you


freeze it, to avoid this unpleasant texture. Store the grated cheese in a freezer bag, and squeeze all of the air out. Frozen cheeses work best in sauces. Defrost cheese in its packaging in


the fridge overnight. HOW LONG DOES BUTTER LAST IN THE FREEZER? Butter lasts about four months in the fridge, but it can be frozen to extend this even further. Frozen butter will be safe to


use even a year later - however, you want to avoid freezer burn. To keep your butter tasty and smooth in texture, you shouldn't leave butter in the freezer for longer than two or three


months. Freeze it in the packaging it came in and wrap it in air-tight plastic. Frozen butter can be ready to use in about thirty seconds! Just melt it on the stove or in the microwave, if


you are making something that requires softened or melted butter. HOW LONG DO EGGS LAST IN THE FREEZER? Eggs can last for many weeks in the fridge, and even longer in the freezer. It's


not recommended to freeze eggs in the shell. Crack them into a freezer-safe container and they could last for more than a year. Eggs are safe to eat from the freezer forever, but be aware


that your freezer needs to be below 0° F (-18° C) to do so. When you want to use your frozen eggs, just put the container into the fridge to let them defrost. Make sure you use them within a


week.
