Now I usually freeze the one is firm 00:08:04.63\00:08:07.40 and extra firm okay I don't freeze the one that soft, 00:08:07.43\00:08:10.45 the soft one I use if I'm gonna do like 00:08:10.48\00:08:12.75 milk shakes or ice cream, whip toppings, 00:08:12.78\00:08:16.29 sour creams I use the softer once, I use the 00:08:16.32\00:08:19.62 silken ones okay but the whenever you doing any kind 00:08:19.65\00:08:21.86 of a meat base you usually you're gonna to use firm 00:08:21.89\00:08:23.73 or extra firm tofu for those. Now, I think sometimes 00:08:23.76\00:08:26.37 you get the ones that's in a water or water pack 00:08:26.40\00:08:29.19 yeah you freeze that whole container, water 00:08:29.22\00:08:32.54 in all into the freezer yeah right for several 00:08:32.57\00:08:34.72 hours okay.
