I really enjoy the convenience of frozen broccoli: it’s always there and ready to use in the freezer for a quick ‘n’ easy curry or bake.
The trouble I’ve found is that often the broccoli are too big for the purpose I have in mind; the finished dish often has large, unwieldy florets in it doing Titanic iceberg impressions.
So I need to cut these badboys down to size. You might suggest thawing and then chopping, but I always chuck the frozen broccoli straight into the dish. Thawing would remove the convenience.
Thus I wish to cut the broccoli whilst it’s still frozen and continue to store it in the freezer. I intend to use a saw for this purpose.
The broccoli will no doubt warm up and commence the dreaded thawing whilst being sawn so to avoid this I wonder if you fine folk have any words of wisdom to impart concerning:
– Saw type: would a hand saw or an electric saw be best?
– Blade type: regular steel or one of those fancy diamond ones?
– Teeth density: 30 tpi or woodsaw…?
Thanks for your help.
p.s. I really quite like broccoli.
