Freezing sausages...

redrach

I wonder if someone can help me. I'm cooking a sausage casserole tonight but as there is only me who will eat it, I wondered where I stand on freezing.

The sausages are frozen, will be defrosted then cooked. Is it classed as re-freezing or does the fact that they have been cooked between freezers stints make a difference?

Thanks in advance

You're fine to re-freeze - to be on the safe side I freeze in serving sized portions and only reheat the one time - make sure its piping hot when you do and it will be delish!

Hi Rach., They will be fine. If you refroze them in their current state - uncooked - I wouldn't do that, but because you are cooking them and changing their state - this is ok to then freeze and reheat once defrosted.

Enjoy! x

Thank you both.

This is my first time doing a meal plan for the week and this will save lots of waste.

Thanks again

I split them into Vitalite tubs to freeze, then they're just a nice size to go back into the microwave.

Thanks, I have Vitalite and I have been thinking what to do with the tubs. This is great, I'm going to be freezing everything now!

I don't know how you freeze them in the first place but I was givens this tip. Open freeze the sausages and then when frozen put into a plastic box. You can then get out individual sausages when you need them, rather than maybe having to use the whole packet.
