Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I think there is mention of using it in one of my other groups... basically as a substitute for " mandrake " .. it's a harry potter group.. I will look.. but your link inspired me to look in my madhur jaffrey book.. here is what it says.. " To store ginger, either wrap it up in newspaper and keep it in the vegetable bin of your refrigerator or else plant it in dryish soil and water it infrequently. If you plant it, the ginger might even sprout new shoots. If you use ginger quite a lot , as I do, just keep it in a n airy basket along with our onion and garlic. Do Not substitute dry ginger powder in any recipe that calls for fresh ginger.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I always peel it and put it in a plastic baggie, inside an airtight container in the freezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 How long does it keep like that Amy? I often use ginger and garlic base for oriental dishes and have found it handy to keep a bottle of ready-mixed condiment but I prefer to have the natural ingredients.

I've kept it that way now over a year. I grate it from frozen, do not thaw, or else it will be mushy and hard to handle. I've often thought about grating it, then packing it tightly in ice cube trays (I have some with tiny compartments, from an old dorm-size fridge) to freeze, but haven't tried that yet.
