How to Flash Freeze Raw Meatballs (3 Steps)

Flash freezing uncooked meatballs prepared in advance will save you time and prevent the meatballs from sticking together in the freezer. Flash freezing is the process of freezing food -- typically spaced out in individual pieces -- uncovered, so it freezes quickly, preventing the formation of ice crystals which cause freezer burn. You can freeze a large batch of food, like meatballs, in advance, so you only have to cook them, thawed or from frozen, when ready. When the meatballs are frozen correctly, they won't stick together and you can grab as few or as many as you want.
