Zucchini and squash sizes vary quite a bit, can you convert to cups of grated to make it easier to get the best balance with the other ingredients?

Squash (summer)1 pound = 4 cups grated = 2 cups salted and drained

Squash (winter)2 pounds = 2-1/2 cups cooked and pureed

at what point can these be frozen, how to defrost and reheat or cook? thanks

more info on prepared food, freeze for less cooking by elders yet healthy meals. Good idea!

We probably would not recommend freezing the Squash and Zucchini Cakes, because the moisture from freezing may make them a little soggy when you reheat them. However, if you want to freeze them, we'd probably suggest cooking them according to the directions, and once they're cool, freezing them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a bag, and make sure they're sealed well.
