    Yes it usually freezes with no problem.

    Divide it into portions first though. It's a pain to cut when frozen :)

    thanks, thats what i was hoping!

    i am only just starting with this o/s stuff, and am new to freezing portions iykwim.
    is there a general rule of thumb about what you can and cant freeze?
    for instance if i make a batch of cookies or muffins can i freeze them?
    most of my freezing q's were already answered by this thread- its great!

    Most cakes and pastries freeze well.

    For any given item you may not need to ask on this thread. Use this link...

    ..and scroll down until you find "freezing". There are quite a number of foods listed there - so you should find it useful :)

    Well... that was the idea, but we found that a quick question thread helps :)

    I would think so, i had a large gammon joint and sliced up the left overs, and packed up in individual packs for sandwiches, never done it before, haven't used any of them yet, but my sister told me she does it regular.

    Yes you can freeze it - slice it & either lay greaseproof paper between the slices or freeze in useable-size packs.

    Then defrost before use (the bits that fall off are good in pasta sauce)
