In the past I've asked for a handful of the wooden coffee stirrers from Costa or Starbucks and used 2 at a time to give it a bit more strength.

Hi,

Can anyone help. I know i can cook and freeze dried green split peas (soaked first and then boiled to within an inch of their lives) but can i cook and freeze the yellow ones, and what about haricot beans and red kidney beans (all dried)? ie if i cook em can i freeze em to use em later?

Thanks.

Yes, you can cook all pulses to freeze. I do this all the time. I soak a whole bag of beans overnight, boil them up in the morning, cool and freeze in plastic bags. You can add them straight to stews/soups/curries from the freezer.

Tesco are now selling bags of cooked frozen beans for a couple of quid a bag:eek:

Thanks thriftlady. I will be doing exactly that. I did the green split peas, that i knew freeze ok, last night and they are portioned up in the freezer. I may do a bag a day till they are all ready to use.....

Hello All,

Can anyone give me guidlines on cake freezing as i am in baking mode and have found just the best chocolate cake and banana cake recipes ! can you freeze any cakes ?- best done on day of making ???? what about topping that include cream cheese etc - are they okay to freeze ? any generally advice on the topic would be greatly appreciated.

ps - I feel I should mention I am pregnant and so need to be that bit more cautious with this kind of thing !

Thanks in advance

Morning all! I have a big bag of red kale in my fridge...anyone got any ideas of what I could do with it, or can anyone tell me if it's possible to freeze it? Thanks in advance!

Any ideas on what to do with a pot of extra thick double cream that needs using up? I only needed a small amount for the quiche I made last week, and I'd like to do something that I can preferably freeze in individual portions so I don't eat it all in one go! I don't have an icecream maker, but I could always have a go at making it the old-fashioned way.
