Vegetarian batch cooking with frozen quorn

Hi all

I've searched this but couldn't find a thread.

I want to do some batch cooking for my return to work, but I only use frozen quorn when I make chilli or bolognaise. This is to keep costs down. It would either be chopped up quorn sausages or quorn mince.

Would I be okay to freeze a sauce made with these to reheat and eat later? Essentially, the quorn would have been frozen twice.

Thanks:)

  • Hiya,

    Yep.. I have made and frozen lasange and bolognaise and it was fine. Have never cooked with sausages and reheated though.. Maybe someone else will have a better idea.

    I also make up batches of vegetable pasta sauce using what ever veg I can find and these freeze and reheat well.
    How all goes well worth your return to work.☺

  • We've made many a chilli (mince) or quorn fajita mix (chicken) or pasta (sausage) and repeated from frozen with no problems, just have to make sure it's not too sloppy a chilli in the first place or the reheat can be runny. Best reheated in a pan we find, but ok in the microwave too.
  • (Tesco have the 500g chicken for £2 ATM if that's any use)
  • Thank you! Will work on the cook double, freeze half method for the first week back.

    I've not got a very big freezer, so will have to be selective!

    Yes, but its frozen raw, isn't it? That being the case, you freeze once raw, then freeze once cooked. That is not the same as freezing twice.

    I have frozen and re heated sausages as well as in sausage casserole, its fine.
