I think i may go for the easy curry option .... if i do, do i just cook it totally as normal then freeze? And then how do i reheat it after from frozen???

I usually take frozen curry out the night before and defrost in the fridge and reheat in a pan or microwave

I defrost overnight in the fridge, put in a pot and reheat just like you would if it was leftovers in the fridge. Ensure it's piping hot etc

You could yes, personally i wouldn't for food safety. Lots do it this way, but my guts tend to be a bit wary/sensitive of precooked stuff so to me defrosting and cooking then is "safer"

I don't personally like to heat stuff in the microwave for some reason,but that's maybe just how i've been taught. But yes, you can.

there is a thread on this, ill look it up.

Cook from frozen is one thread

Also, homemade ready meals discusses the same issue within the thread.

I would just freeze them raw and then use them in a stir fry/turkey and redcurrant sandwich when I wanted them. Or curry them now and then freeze the curry.

how did you get on with your turkey steaks?

Hi, DM brought me some turkey steaks from Mr A's today (were reduced;)).

I thought I'd coat with egg & use porridge (don't have bread as wheat intolerant) and gently fry - but have absolutely no idea how long they'll take?:eek:

Any advice hugely appreciated:)

I'd say - depending on the thickness - no more than 5 minutes a side.

I usually bash down my chicken breasts so they're nice and flat and cook them till they're around 75c - that's usually around 7 minutes. Take them off the heat and let sit for around 5-10 minutes more. They stay nice and juicy that way too.
