quick freeze
Instantly ice something
Quick freeze means to freeze something rapidly, typically food, using very low temperatures.
The speed prevents large ice crystals from forming, which preserves texture and quality better than slow freezing.
Commercial quick-freezing revolutionized food preservation in the twentieth century: quick-frozen vegetables, quick-freeze the berries before storing them.
