Refrigerator Temperature. Be sure to start with contents that are refrigerator temperature. So, place leftovers in the refrigerator to cool before transferring them to the freezer.
Choose Container. Make sure you choose a plastic, airtight container to prevent freezer burn. We recommend using food storage containers, or freezer bags. Use plastic, not glass.
Portion It Out. Portion it out into the freezer-safe containers.
Label and Date. Be sure to label and date the containers before you place them into the freezer.
Freeze.For Larger Amounts - Place food storage containers into the freezer upright. Prevent leaking by storing them in the upright position until frozen.For Smaller Amounts:Ice Cube Trays - Pour it into ice cube tray, just like you would water. Set the filled tray in the freezer on a flat surface until frozen. Once frozen, pop the frozen cubes out of the tray, and transfer them to a freezer bag.Freezer Bags - Contents in freezer bags should be laid flat on a baking sheet until frozen. After the bags are frozen, they can be removed from the baking sheet and stacked neatly in the freezer.
Notes
Types Of Gravy
Brown - usually flour or corn starch based like: beef, pork, chicken or turkey mushroom
White Gravy - a milk or cream, flour-based like: cream - commonly served over chicken fried steak. sawmill or sausage - made from scraping the bits of sausage or bacon off the bottom of the pan.
Tomato Gravy - tomato sauce.
Brown gravy and Tomato Gravy are the easiest to freeze and hold their consistency well. Freezing a white gravy is not recommended, as it will separate as it thaws. You can do it, but it will not be perfect.
Pro Tip
We recommend using plastic over glass containers for ease of use. You will be able to squeeze the bottom of the container to pop out frozen contents when you are ready to reheat.
