Well I use mine up pretty fast fresh, I grill it, bake it and saute it or I cook it sliced with the other indredients for Gagoots (Italian vegetarian stew.) I believe you should slice it(round) and then steam it, so its lightly cooked. After cooking, I lay the pieces out on a cookie sheet to freeze singularily. This way they will not stick together in a glob. When hardened I freeze them in a large plastic bag and that way I can use as much as I need when I want to....works great. [Razz]
