As opposed to freezing from room temp

Simply put that baking sheet into the refrigerator for a few hours before moving it to the freezer. That way, the food is almost down to the freezing point, so it freezes even faster when moved to the freezer.

I was already doing this for that reason alone and it’s nice to know it was better preserving the fruit!! ☺️

Oh wait, apartment rules won't allow me to bring in my own major appliances, so I'll have to buy a home first. For people in my predicament I've had a modicum of success turning the freezer control up to 9, place the fruit by the blower, and check every 15 minutes. Might not be best, but it'll defrost with more recognizable fruit w/less mush. Then of course someone has to keep Dole in business & buy the pre-packaged frozen fruit at the supermarket!

And we all seem to have packed freezers. Oh, well….

Sat down to watch Dan explain the science of freezing and learned I’d done it right! I think ATK is rubbing off on me!

I applaud you for the point you made BUT unless you know how to handle liquid nitrogen DON'T. It also requires a special container which you are not likely to have among your kitchen gadgets. As far as where to buy it – I've only seen it delivered by a gas company in large tanks. Not something you're going to find at the corner market.
