Was given about 8 BIG zucchinis by my neighbour a couple of weeks ago. They are elbow-to-wrist and larger.
It has been too long and we haven't been home enough to use them.
I love when they are crunchy, but any preserving will probably do away with that. We usually slice them in 2 lengthwise, hollow them out, fill them and grill them until they are hot but still have a bit of a crunch.
What can I do with them - cook/freeze, freeze or make raw for cooking later?
@Nonya_Bidniss@mas.to@MaryPot Couple of ideas: You can shred some and freeze in ready portions to use for zucchini bread (a food saver/vacuum sealer is really handy for this type of thing). You can cube some and put in a pasta sauce or soup (which can then be frozen). Also I saw a video of a guy who said that when they get very large they can just be kept in a cool place for months. I haven't tried that 
Thanks for those! Will do that with at least a couple. We don't bake our own bread, though, so mostly cubed or sliced for sauces or stews, I guess.
He could be right about keeping. We have a really impressive (best ever in 40 years cohabiting) fridge. The little zucchini we had bought at about the same time was mush the other day, but the biggies are still nice and firm. Still - I don't want to chance too many of them on an experiment!
