Oh please don't throw away the celery leaves they are the best part! Chop them up and put them in a lettuce salad, it adds so much flavor.

Thank you Kevin. Nobody ends videos like Kevin with a beautiful smile. I always look forward to it. What a beautiful guy.

If you do need to keep fresh celery in your frig, just tightly wrap it in foil,it will keep for several weeks,fresh and crisp

You are never too old to learn something new. I’m always wasting celery, then never having it when I need it. Thanks ever so much for this tutorial. ❤️

I agree, it never lasts long in the fridge..it goes wimpy on me!!! I love the concept of freezing it, who knew?!😃

Hi Kevin, I got 3 bunches of celery to freeze for winter. I use it in soups and a handful in chili. I really like to wash the leaves dice and sprinkle them in chicken noodle soup.

I am so tired of reaching for celery in the fridge only to find it wilted and rubbery. This is a great idea!

Put the wilted celery in cold water and refrigerate it. It will firm/crisp it right back up.

Thank you for the compliment. If you do make a stock from vegetable's don't use potatoes. Usually celery, carrots, leeks and onions. You could add herbs of your choice. Any bones from fish, chicken, beef etc add those to the stock pot. You're making what most people would throw out a really tasty stock which makes success, soups, gravy and more. If you don't use it all pour any into an ice tray and freeze until you need it. Saves money buying stock cubes full of salt too. Bon appetite!

I freeze both celery and onions. It’s just a great time saver, and eliminates the messy part of making soup or stews. Rather than compost the leaves and stems pierces that are not perfect, I wash then freeze them separately to throw in the pot with making bone broth. They still have all that great flavor. I don’t blanch and it’s works just fine.

I didn’t know I could freeze celery either! This is a game changer for me. Thank you so much!💕

This was so helpful!! I read online that I could freeze celery but it said nothing about blanching so I froze it and it turned to mush. I love having celery around for everything. I’m grateful for this video!!

You can grow new cerlery (cut and come again) from the root end instead of composting.

Thank you for the demonstration. Now I will not be wasting 6 stalks of celery when I only need 2 stalks for a recipe.

I've bought frozen celery in vegetable blends, but I've never frozen my own from fresh. Now I know how and I will do it! Thanks for showing me how. Oh...I also freeze onions. No more throwing away celery or onions that have gone bad! Thanks!

This is great knowledge to have, Kevin. I hope you do more content on preserving foods!!! Thanks

Oh thank you my friend! I had not even thought about doing that. I certainly will from now on. What a timesaver!

Im happy to see your subscription numbers have really increased! Congratulations and thanks for being such a calming person and sharing your recipes and routines with us. I save the leaves for soups as they give it a clear homemade appearance. I don't waste a bite! I think I'm reincarnated from a Depression era homemaker lol. I did not know to blanche the celery but that makes a lot of sense.

Kevin all these years I have been on this earth I always thought that celery would turn to mush if you froze it! Thanks for showing us how to freeze celery especially since it cost 3.98 in most stores today! 😢

Thanks for the measured, methodical and clear instructions. Very much appreciated

Thank you so much! This is just what I was looking for - simple, easy instructions for how to freeze my celery.

I agree-PERFECT 😊

How many pounds of celery I've had to trash over the years from wilting I don't care to even think about! Who knew?! Thanks so much Kevin!

It's now August 2023. Thank you for this tutorial. I'm going to start a celery freezer stash tight awsy!

Excellent I will be freezing my celery tomorrow 😊

I just learned something new. I've been freezing to use for stock (not blanched). Now I know to blanch so I can use for other applications. Thanks!

Who would have thought!? Kevin, I accidentally put my bunch of celery into the freezer instead of the fridge and yes the result was mush. I'm glad to learn a way to freeze it bc then there's no waste.

Thanks for your helpful video-so handy especially in that it doesn’t stick together so you can store it in large amounts.

Just found your channel a few nights ago. You’ve re-inspired my love of cooking and I’ve already made 3 of your recipes. And tomorrow I will freeze some celery. Thank you

Hi Kevin, I was always ending up with mushy, celery because I don’t use it all of the time, but when you need it you need it. Thank you for this tip that will save me money and stop me from being wasteful. Hugs, Julie 🥰

Thank for taking the time to make this very informative video. I didn’t know you could blanch the celery to keep it from being mushy, That is why I never wanted to freeze it. Thanks a million!

I suddenly had the thought of this today and came to see if others thought of it. I noticed yesterday that I was losing my celery because I only eat it with peanut butter sometimes. I realize that I make alot of smoothies and can freeze my celery and put in a smoothie from time to time. And soup! Thanks for sharing.

I LOVE celery. My family, grandmother and Mother never froze celery except if it was in soup. It never dawned on me, I assumed it was too watery. This it fabulous, thank you ,dear Kevin.

Kevin, this is going to be so useful. There have been a few times where I've thrown out celery stalks, which I hate to do. I never thought of freezing it, figuring it would be mush. I never considered blanching it but will certainly do so now and very soon at that. Thank you!

I'm so glad I found this video!! Thank You!! I have a lot of celery in my garden!!

I 'm excited to make my homemade celery soup. Love that stuff. Thanks!

Celery leaves are nice on a cheese plate. I make stock with odd bits of celery. Great tips here.

Thanks!! I was getting so tired of wasting celery!!! 😊

Kevin, I learn SO MUCH from your videos. Thank you!

You always provide simple and great solutions ! Thank you !

A vegetable I've wanted to know how to freeze, and now I know. Thank you, Kevin

Love your recipes and videos! Thank you! 💕

Thanks Kevin, you’re the greatest!

Love this idea, Kevin! You make me smile at the end of the day!

Thank you! Excellent advice.

Great presentation. Thank you so much!

I was wondering this after watching your chicken and dumplings video. Btw, I made it this past week and it was fantastic! My dumplings soaked up a lot the liquid so next time I may add more stock. 👍💕

Thank you again for your very helpful tip on freezing celery. Thank you !!

I've never discarded the celery leaves. I've always minced them and used for flavoring chicken stock and soups, or added it to stuffing/dressing.

Thanks Kevin, now I know how to properly freeze it! Always wondered what to do with the leaves!

Excellent suggestion!! Love that tou blanched your celery before you put in the freezer. Such excellent suggestions!!!

I was just trying to figure this out after seeing you use yours !!! Great timing !!! Yay!!

Very helpful, thank you. An eye-opener and safer !

Super helpful! Thank you so much for sharing! I always buy a bunch of celery when I need it for a recipe and then may not need it again for a few weeks and when I go back to get it out of the crisper it has already gone bad so this will save me so much money! With the rising prices in the grocery store, I am watching everything I can get my hands on fir preserving food.

Such a great idea!

Thank you so much for teaching us this technique! I did not know how to do this and it will be used in the next few days as I have left over celery from making Christmas dinner. Thank you again! 😊🙏💖

Very interesting and very helpful instructions. Thank you, Kevin.

Thank you for sharing, great idea.

Thank you for this tip it is very helpful.

Very helpful! Thank you.

Wow! This will save me from having to eat the rest of the stalk when I only needed a couple of them in my chicken soup. The celery heart is my favorite. Either to eat or put in chicken soup, according to my late Hungarian husband.

WOW, in the end, this method for freezing celery saves time, product & 👏 money 💰. Thank you for showing us how.

Beautiful video and very very helpful , thank you so much for sharing !

Oh, my goodness! How useful this is! Speaking as one who frequently discovers the celery has lapsed into a limp and discouraging mess in the crisper. I will follow your technique for more successful storage of my celery. Thanks so much!

Wow! This is such great information to have. I had no idea you could freeze celery! Thank you very much for creating and posting this video.

Excellent! Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I never thought about freezing celery either, until today when I was cutting it in sections to put back in the frig in a small container with water. Now I can have it ready for me anytime!

Your videos are very informative. And I love your recipes.

Really helpful! I froze some celery a few months ago, but it definitely had turned to mush. I have more left over from Thanksgiving so now I know to blanch it before freezing. Thanks!

Very helpful, I grew quite a lot of celery for the first time this year and wondered what to do with it. Now I know

Thank you, love this video on blanching and freezing celery. You are correct, I often do waste celery because I did not use it up in time. I do love the tender celery leaves in salads and sandwiches.

I've been wondering about how to freeze celery. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Thank you, Kevin. Just bought celery. I am going to use your freezing technique!

Thank you that helped me a lot now I’m gonna stop freezing my celery because I keep throwing it out all the freaking time when I buy it

Thank you the demonstration. I didn't know you could freeze celery.

I've always wanted to know how to freeze celery. Thank you Kevin!

What a great tip, especially using the towels to make transferring the frozen celery to your Pyrex!

What a wonderful and practical discovery! I hate waste! Thank you!

Thanks for educating me. We successfully grew a bunch of celery and now I know how I can get long term benefit from it.

Thank you for this very informative and easy to follow video.

And I too am very happy you showed us how to freeze celery. I tried only as you said to have it turn to mush too. I love celery so much, like to use it in everything and it will save me a lot of money this way. Thank you Kevin. Johns wife

Excellent!! Thank you 😊

Really informative, as all your videos are, Kevin. I never knew why one was expected to blanch vegetables before putting them into the freezer. Now I know, so thank you for that. I usually get round the left over celery when making a stew. I just throw a whole head of the vegetable in each time. I love it anyway but your freezing technique will be good because sometimes I want to make a stew but don't have celery to hand. This way I will. Thank you again!

Brilliant! As I commented ion another video, I will use this method in the future. I never knew you could freeze celery. Even at 72, I learn something new every day!

Oh yes, I always wondered how and if it could be done. Thanks

Excellent, thank you so much❣️

I use my 2 part pasta pot… after boiling just lift inner strainer and set in a big bowl of ice water and then lift again to drain and ready for freezing on trays.

3/23/2024 This video came across my feed & it was not only HELPFUL but VERY INFORMATIVE & EXCELLENTLY DONE. THANKS FOR SHARING.

Thank you! Solves what to do with the surplus celery after using a stalk or two. Very convenient frozen this way.

Very helpful! Ty!

Wonderful video. I will now buy celery and freeze as I never use a lot and would go to waste. Thank you 👍

What a wealth of information! Would definitely freeze celery. It can go bad easily just sitting in the frig waiting to use the next few pieces. Great idea.

Kevin, this video was VERY helpful to me. I had no idea that you could freeze celery. This is a great way to save your celery. I can’t tell you how many times I have thrown away celery after using a few stalks. I just can’t seem to use it up fast enough. Thank you.

I have never known how to do this! I am definitely going to now!!

I’ve never subscribed to a you tube channel but I loved this video and ht how fun it would be to watch you in the kitchen. Then you spoke of having a cooking channel and I’m hooked!

Very helpful; thank you

This video was really very useful indeed. It’s true, most of the recipes I’ve been looking at require only one or two stalks. And buying a whole bunch of celery just seemed wasteful. Now I know how to freeze and store celery for use in smaller portions as needed. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for sharing this tip on freezing celery. I often wondered. 😊🇵🇭

Great! I don’t like to waste food and this really helps! Thanks 🙏

Thanks for sharing!!!

thanks for the video! grew celery for the first time and was wondering how to preserve it.

Thank you so much for posting this, I usually discover celery i didn't use has become wilted and toss it, now i know how to freeze it!

This was so helpful because i always through away a bunch of celeri that was only used for one dish . Thank you ,Kevin.
