Dr. Ed no doubt you are alive. My grandmother showed me this at a very early age. She used the old milk cartons for sweet corn and a few other freezer items (Depression had a big influence on her life). We also, freeze our small game in water (rabbits, squirrels,doves,etc) takes a little extra room but lasts a long time. Also, if the freezer is not frost free is a big plus (no defrost cycle). I am definitely giving the Kikoman Tempora Batter a try.
