I only work part time so when I am working like to buy food ahead. I would like to know how long you store cheese - such as Velveeta and the bagged shredded cheese. I use a lot of both and would like to buy ahead to have it available when I'm not working. I have a refrigerator to be used just for that. What temperature should they be stored at and how long will they keep? I get SSA and when between jobs I have to buy for a month ahead. I also use this fridge for storing potatoes and onions, any information on how long those can be stored for would be helpful as well.

Thank you very much,
Lee Ann Cline

I have not tried this yet. But I have read that adding a little flour or cornstarch to grated cheese before freezing keeps it seperated and easier to use.

Be sure to freeze in amounts useful to your needs.

you can put your cheese in baggies and freeze it. it is not a good idea to put potatoes in the fridge. put them in a dark place with no other veg. onions can be kept this way for a short time. cut onions and freeze in small containers for use in soups, sauces, etc.

Be sure to freeze your cheese, whether you buy it shredded or shred it yourself. Otherwise it will mold. Don't ask how I know this.

Your potatoes and onions should be stored in a dark, cool, dry place, but not the fridge. The cold will make some of the starch in the potatoes turn to sugar. Slightly sweet mashed potatoes are kind of nasty. (Don't ask why I know about this one either).

I buy cheese in 5 pound packages,shredded and sliced. I measure out one pound packages and freeze it. I like the processed american cheese that costco sells. It thaws well and I cannot tell that it has been frozen. The grated cheese is usually cheaper so I have not had to grate it myself for a few years. 5 pounds usually lasts my family of 6 for a month. I am not sure how long it would last beyond that.
