How long will tofu stay good in the freezer ???

Answer 1

3-6 Months without opening.

Tofu can be purchased refrigerated and packed in water or packaged in vacuum packed plastic containers. After opening a water pack refrigerated package, drain the fluid, cut off the portion you want, and decide how you are going to store the remainder of the tofu. To maintain its store-bought texture, put it in the refrigerator. To change the tofu's texture and make it tougher (more meat-like), put it in the freezer.

If you want to store it in the refrigerator (which you can do for up to 7 days), cover with fresh cool water. Replace the water daily to prevent it from getting cloudy and making a good home for bacteria. Also be sure that the tofu is completely submerged.

If you want to store it in the freezer, place the drained tofu in an airtight bag or container. The white tofu, once frozen, will turn yellow; but don't worry, when you thaw it, it will become white again. Freezing tofu drastically changes its properties. When you freeze it, thaw it, and squeeze out the water, it will have a more meaty, chewy consistency and will soak up marinades and sauces more readily than non-frozen tofu.

Answer 2

A few months, tightly wrapped. Think of it like a sponge, it will 1) absorb funky odors in the freezer and 2) lose moisture when thawed. The consistency of the tofu when it comes out will be completely different than when it went in. I wouldn't even recommend freezing silky tofu.

Answer 3

Well from experience it might be a good idea to keep tofu no longer then 1 month in the freezer. Because then it gets freezer burn and it's no good.
Marinate it, throw it in the freezer for a good week, thaw, bake or saute and enjoy :)
the texture gets very 'meatlike'

Answer 4

2 weeks

Answer 5

wrapped or sealed, forever. it will be similar in texture to "ice beancurd" a delicacy of buddhist monks in china. The monks don't have refrigeraton so they leave the beancurds outside covered in snow. They get it when needed, obviouly stiff/very firm and dried out and the color is brown.. it is sliced and stir fried usually with chillies, soy sauce, garlic, spring onions and other stuff.

Answer 6

about 2-3 weeks for best results in tasting

Answer 7

Itll stay good for a long time but when you defrost it itll be extra spongey

Answer 8

I don't keep it longer than about three months. But then that's because I've used it up by then.

Answer 9

It wasn't ever good, lol! like most things, 'bout 6mos, defrost in fridge, no counter. firm tofu will come back best, the soft will sometimes crumble.

Answer 10

Ugh. Since it isn't any good to start with what's the point? Just kidding. I think it does change a bit when you freeze it and it doesn't taste or handle the same but I think it is fine for a minimum of three months.
