I freeze buttercream icing if I have made too much for one cake. It invariably gets eaten, frozen. Absolutely delicious!

Egg whites freeze fine and can then be made into meringues.

I froze my dear old teddy bear who had a bit of woodworm in his head (sawdust stuffing). I put him in a plastic bag and left him in for a weekend while we were away. No sign of the woodworm spreading.

Not "odd" but we bulk make mashed potato and freeze in in suitable portions. Only one nasty starchy pot to wash, just take it out of the freezer, leave to defrost and either put in a dish in the oven (if you are using it to cook other things) or heat in microwave.

When butter is reduced if you buy two, I freeze one of them.

Froze ( is that a word?) some egg yolks after making 6 pavlovas. Not good !!

Starting this conversation since I believe it could be very useful and informative.
What have you frozen - excluding meals/veg - to use for later ??

From Coolgran I have learnt that it is possible to freeze ripe bananas and use them in cakes - never knew that smile
I can suggest freezing lemons, in slices or whole to use later.
Also freeze grated chocolate - top a cake or desert later.
Squeeze a lemon and freeze the juice in ice cube trays, also grate the skin and freeze.
Fresh herbs also freeze in ice cube trays for later.

Any more tips ??
