stew ok to freeze?
I got 2lb of stewing meat on offer, if I made a big beef in stout stew up would it be ok to freeze it in portions? I want to do something with it that I can cook in one go, then portion up to freeze for when I'm not at my best. I thought a slow cooked stew in the oven would be the easiest but I'm open to other suggestions.

Is this because my oven is rubbish, because its on the top shelf, or…
