Not sure you can freeze coleslaw as it will go all slushy when you thaw it through. However, I'd recommend you ignore the Use By date. If you keep it in the fridge and it still looks and tastes edible, most people would recommend that you go on eating it. I've kept stuff like this well past the recommended date and it's been fine.

Need some help - have some ready made coleslaw and its use by date was yesterday. There is too much for me to eat today so is there anything i can do with it otherwise i will have to throw it away.

i'd agree with Primrose. keep eating it untill it smells sweet or it has little bubbles in or the lid is raised a bit.

or and this is random... perahaps wash off the mayonaise and then freeze the veg in bags?!? then add to stews / soups ect when needed.

What about the carribean chicken recipe that some folks here cook in their slow cookers? I have not tried it yet but I always think "Yum!" when I see someone is cooking it.

I sometimes make what I call Dhansak - meat curry with red lentils and some pineaple pieces. I just sort of make up the recipe as I go along but I am sure there are recipes out there on the web.
