Demi-glace takes a fair amount of time to make. So, make a big batch and freeze the majority of it. The easiest way to freeze demi is to pour it into a large, flat casserole dish and allow it to set in the refrigerator.
Once set, almost like jell-o, you can cut it into whatever size portions you like. I usually portion into half to one cup pieces then place onto a baking sheet covered with plastic wrap. Cover the top and freeze.
Once frozen, place into a labeled bag and you have months of wonderful demi-glace. You don’t even have to defrost it before you use it as it will melt almost immediately once added to a sauce or stew.
