What foods can/can't you freeze?

Have never tried, but as others say it won't magically go off at the end of the day! I would try freezing one tub, just to see, and use the other up over the next few days - creamy topping for meat, jacket potatoes, creamed spinach, lunchbox sandwiches/savoury biscuits etc. In fact, as long as it isn't mouldy, it is probably fine - just give it a sniff to check.

Thanks for the advice-lol at the sniff test!

I have put one in the freezer to see how it goes- it it doesnt work I have only wasted 20p eh...just found some mushrooms that will need using so will use half of one tub on a creamy garlic mushroom dish for tonight and Im sure the kids will polish the rest off

I have frozen it in the past (love those whoopsies) and it has been fine - I've only used it for cooking though

Hello OldStylers :wave:

I made a humungous batch of vegetable biryani yesterday. It made about double the amount I expected as I was using up veg and just chucked the lot in!

The ingredients include cauliflower, potatoes and of course the rice mixed in. I've never frozen anything with spuds/rice or cauliflower for that matter. Any idea if this would freeze ok? Or should I just eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day! :rotfl:I'm sure I can donate a bit to someone so it won't go to waste but I usually like to freeze extra portions to stop me ordering takeaways when I'm tired.

Thanks in advance!

You can freeze it I'll add this to the exisitng thread now that it's fallen from the front page of OS.

Thanks a mill Penny! :T

That's a bit of a relief because there is so much there that it would take a week of eating it for 3 meals a day to use it up!:rotfl:It is yummy though and I just discovered HM raita which makes it even tastier!

Hi elf,

In my experience coleslaw and mayonaise doesn't freeze well but on this thread somebody did manage to freeze it with some success:

Coleslaw....can you freeze it?

I went to asda the other day and bought some 'freshly baked' steak pies, mince beef and onion pies and chicken and mushroom pies that had been whoopsied to 22p each. I came home and put them in the freezer.

Now after reading this i'm wondering if they were ok to freeze? There is nothing written on the label except 'Eat on day of purchase'.

Has anyone frozen Asda's own freshly baked pies before?

Hi Kippers

I would say it should be ok - but of course there is the chance it's not suitable for freezing - example if the meat had been cooked and frozen previously or something.

I would tend to risk it ensuring piping hot etc, but if you reaaaaaaaally wanted to be sure, check the pack in Asda again, or ask in store to put your mind at ease
