Can You Freeze Seafood Chowder
Fun fact: butter and cream freeze differently. Butter is less stable. That’s why some chowders turn oily.
If you see a layer of grease on top after thawing, don’t panic. Just stir it in. Or skim it off if you’re feeling fancy. Nobody judges your fat choices.
Pro tip: use heavy cream for freezing. It’s more stable than light cream or milk. It’s the thoroughbred of the dairy world.
