| The wonders of the freezer as a tool for preserving food are obvious, but the freezer can do a lot more than just store food—it can also be used as a cooking instrument. If you were to consult the Chinese home-cooking playbook, you'd find a whole host of techniques that use the freezer to transform the textures of food and enhance flavors in ways that would be difficult to achieve otherwise. Many of these techniques predate the use of modern freezers.
