Freeze that stuff. Obviously use it in things where the celery is intended for flavor and not for texture (like soups, stews, sauces; pretty much anything cooked). It saves so much time and energy, and it ensures that you always have that mirepoix staple on hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-three-pounds-of-celery#post-766194 Tue, 07 May 2013 16:11:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 766194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Make ants on a log </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-three-pounds-of-celery#post-766146 Tue, 07 May 2013 15:45:54 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 766146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I *hate* celery with a passion!

Then any time you have a recipe that calls for diced celery you can just pull out the amount that you need. That's what I do with all my celery-- prep with a mandoline, put it into freezer bags, and then it's ready to go whenever I need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-three-pounds-of-celery#post-765496 Tue, 07 May 2013 12:07:31 +0000 DigAPony 765496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My snarky initial response was "throw it away!"
