Freezing Sandwiches

Pink.

Hi jo,

I just lift the sandwiches out in the morning and they're defrosted by lunchtime. If the water is defrosted by lunchtime then the sandwiches should be too.

Thanks Pink-winged for linking the old thread up, just read through it and there are some great ideas.

Question though...my ds has got one of those cooler lunchboxes and I freeze a bottle of water for him to take in his box to keep everything cool. Do you reckon the sarnies would defrost by lunchtime if I took them out in the morning, or should I take them out the night before?

I found that through the summer this was OK, but through the cooler months, the sarnies were still hard in the middle. I tend to pull them out as soon as we get up, then pack with the frozen carton and should pretty much be defrosted by the time they are packed up.

I've made ds some tortilla wraps with ham and humous this week, anyone know if these would freeze well? I did put veggies in too but I could leave those out as a side.

Hi

In an attempt to help with the cost of food and to get my DS1 (15 soon) to eat better I thought I'd give freezing a batch of filled rolls/sandwiches so all he need to do is take one out of the freezer. Thing is he is SO fussy about food I don't know how he has managed to live to 15!! So currently he likes chicken breast & mayo, pepperoni or choc spread. No marg or butter. Are any of these freezable?

Hi Ruth,

I dont personally freeze sandwiches, have you tried posting this question on the grocery challenge thread. I have read that a few posters on there do freeze them.

I know that mayo does not freeze well, someone mentioned that it seperates.
Cheese/ham/pickle freeze ok (i think)

Hi Ruthieb,

As carol has said mayo doesn't freeze well but the chicken and pepperoni will be fine....not sure about the chocolate spread though. Maybe try freezing one and see how it goes? There's an earlier thread on freezing sandwiches that should help so I'll have a look for it and add your thread to it.

Well if it freezes - you can use it. If not dont. For example you can use veg spread but not butter.
Filling: Pastrami, cheese (all types), ham, pork sices, beef slices, corned beef, meat or cheese with pickle, piccalili, cooked veg but not raw, (roasted vegetables), peanut butter, smoked salmon (careful to olny freeze once)

Instead of sarnies, how about using some of the bread up on a bread and butter pudding?

Or why not just freeze the bread and remove only what you need ( a few sices at a time)

Hi
just writing my shopping list and was wondering if i made some ham, chicken and beef rolls would i be able to freeze them individually and just pop them into the lunch boxes every night

and would any other fillings be suitable i.e. cheese

thanks

Hi llamedos36,

Ham, chicken and beef rolls will be fine to freeze as long as the meat hasn't been previously frozen.

This earler thread should help with ideas for other freezable fillings:

Freezing Sandwiches

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.
