Milk

Unfortunately, milk stored in the freezer can separate into chunks and watery parts when thawed. It will be safe to eat, but it’s not exactly the best consistency for adding to your morning cereal or coffee. These are foods you should never keep in your fridge.

Potatoes

Potatoes have a high water content, so after being stored in the freezer, you could be left with a mushy, soft potato. If you’re cooking a meal with potatoes and you’re hoping to freeze the leftovers go for it. Cooked potatoes won’t be as mushy as if you froze them raw. The texture change won’t matter too much in cooked casseroles or stews. Find out the truth about whether it's safe to eat foods with freezer burn.

Fried foods

Sorry, leftover mozzarella sticks! Foods that were fried will lose all their crunch if you put the leftovers into the freeze—and no one wants soft, mushy fried foods. If you’re planning to make a batch of home-cooked chicken nuggets to store in the freezer, you’re better off skipping the fryer and opt to bake the meal in the oven first.

Eggs still in their shell


SIAMBIZKIT/SHUTTERSTOCK

Putting eggs that are still in the shell into the freezer is a big no-no. The water content inside the egg expands when frozen, which can cause the outer shell to crack and be vulnerable to bacteria. If you want to freeze your eggs, always take them out of the shell, beat until they’re well blended and store in an airtight container with a label.
