snap freeze
Rapidly lock in
Snap freeze means to freeze something extremely quickly, typically using very low temperatures or liquid nitrogen.
The rapid process prevents large ice crystals from forming, preserving cellular structure in food or biological samples: The lab snap-freezes tissue specimens for later analysis.
In cooking, snap-freezing locks in freshness and texture better than conventional freezing.
