For straight up organ, I will cut up beef liver into lil pill size pieces then freeze them. Pop a couple whenever they pop into my consciousness.

it’s a great idea to keep liver frozen in small pieces, the problem I’ve found (that I’ve been trying to find a solution to) is when the pieces all stick together and removing just one piece becomes a project
Yeah gotta keep em separated. Maybe pieces of parchment paper between. Like lay parchment paper out, put liver in pieces in one line, then roll and fold paper over. Make another line, roll. Etc.
keeping them separated would definitely help. maybe even just putting in less per container. cramming them all in together just leads to one giant ice block anyway. I’ll see what kind of magic I can work with the parchment paper idea too
Also when i freeze them, i put them on a tray, separated, amd put the tray in the freezer. Once frozen, then transfer to container.
oh good idea, that way they don’t actually freeze stuck together
This is definitely the way. Cut sliced raw liver into strips, put on parchment paper on a tray, put in freezer. A few hours later, take the tray out, cut into desired pill size, then put into frozen storage (I use bags, but you do you). As long as they stay frozen properly, they shouldn't clump together much.
Are they easier to cut after frozen? I would imagine so because before is a slimy mess lol
Yes, much easier. I buy it sliced/frozen from walmart, actually. I use a heavier sharp knife, like a carving knife, with a thicker spine that I can push down on with my free hand.
It will thaw quickly, especially where you cut, so work quickly!
