We are going to look at a used chest freezer tomorrow, and it's interesting once again on the different opinions of folks. I presume RW means just to wash them and slice without peeling, I would like to ask him if they should be virtually dry before freezing? Thanks to mumofstig again, I reckon the slugs might get them if it can be a problem in winter. Up until now I have managed without too much damage from them, but does the winter time make for more activity?
