I just opened up a big box of chicken broth but only used about 1/3 of it. Can I freeze the leftover so it doesn’t go bad?

I often find myself with leftover chicken broth after using only a portion of it in recipes. I used about 1/3 of the broth from a carton and want to know if I can safely freeze the rest.

Is it okay to freeze the remaining broth for future use?

If so, are there any specific steps or tips for freezing it to maintain the best flavor and quality?

Also, how long will it stay fresh in the freezer before I should consider tossing it out? Any advice or experiences would be helpful!

Yes, freeze in ziplock bags or other containers – not the box it came in – Another question is there a reason you buy box or can broth over powder or cube? I found Goya powder broth a box is $1 and has 10 packets in it so equals 10 cups

(10 cents a serving) besides being cheaper – it is so much less waste to throw away (no big box or bans)

Some like bullion cubes (know) but I find it has to much salt for me but LOVE the Goya powdered broths (chicken, beef, ham, veggie) if I am not making it from bones at home >

I dump mine in ice cube trays and then once frozen store them in a zip lock. Works great!

Freeze flat it in one cup sizes in sandwich bags then put them in a a larger bag. I’d only freeze as a whole unit if I knew I had a plan to use it at once

Yes, freeze in silicone muffin trays or ice cube trays so you can defrost in portion sizes!

Totally a game changer when I started making rice with broth instead of water!!!

Other ways to use up stock- use half milk half broth in mashed potatoes
Soup season!!

Chicken and rice bowls
Sauces (gravy, curries, braising liquid)
Veggie puree
Risotto

Yes. Freeze in glass leaving space to expand or in freezer bags and freeze flat.

I pay my rents with money earned from Reits! Research about that and jump on it in 2024. I’m also glad to send some info for anyone interested!
