    Hi Chickarooneeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

    Will you be heating or cooking the chicken again in the process of preparing the pie?

    if you look back a couple of posts you can see almost the same thing being discussed. I would aim for cooking chicken twice in total where possible - others would cook it more, but I try to avoid that where possible :) So if it was me, i would try to prep the pie without cooking the chicken, then freeze it - then you know it is going in the freezer being cooked once :)

    Thanks zippy - definitely wanted to cook the chicken twice only but was a bit worried it might taste rubbish! Do you think it'll be OK just to put gravy/chicken/mushrooms all in together, pastry ontop and freeze?

    Hello all,

    This is just hypothetical, but was wondering if you could make yoghurt in the low or keep warm part of a slow cooker? No idea if you could, but it seems the same premise as an easiyo...?

    It has been mentoined before but I can't find the post. There is a thread but it doesn't answer the question!

    AH JOY! Another thread with yoghurt spelt wrong. WOOP! Yes, you can :D

    Will chicken be ok to eat today, that I cooked Sunday evening?

    I would normally have eaten by Tuesday, but i've got some that I forgot to freeze. I was going to marinade and do a stir fry with it.

    I think you're right on the border, tbh. If it looks and smells OK, try a little bit and, if it tastes OK, I might just be tempted to risk it, but only for me - I wouldn't risk it with kids.

    If it looks or smells at all dubious, don't risk it - it's not worth getting food poisoning for.
    Back after a very long break!

    I tend to use the three day rule, so wouldn't hesitate to eat it providing it smelt ok :)
