Thanks was thinking to use them in a bolognaise sauce or simular.

I do same as hotcookie101, just open freeze whole, then bag up and use where you would tinned toms, in stews etc

got 3 huge bags of sliced cooked meat from morrisons just now for pennies. Can i freeze this, we cant possibly eat it all.:)

Yes, you can freeze it. Divide it up into usable amounts though and freeze as small packs, not as one huge lump.

sure, divide up and freeze flat. nice one!

well done on the bargain meat, you can freeze it and it will be lovely cooked with pasta and creamy sauce

Yup, go for it! Very freezeable. I tend to put a sandwich/salad portion on a piece of greaseproof, then more greaseproof, more meat etc and stack a bagful up that way. About 3 days worth to a bag, so I just pull out a bag and we have meat for the next few days. I find the greaseproof stops freezerburn.

What a great Xmas present from Mr M!

while you can freeze them whole - I tend to think it takes the flavour out of them so I make a basic tomato sauce and freeze that.

I cooked FAR too many mushy peas for a get together last night and have over half a large pressure cooker full leftover.
I plan to cook some gammon to make some pea and ham soup but don't want overkill!
Does anybody know if I can freeze the rest for use in the future?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance with this.

I have frozen mushy peas.

Just make sure you freeze them in portion sizes I tend to either use sandwich bags or open freeze in dollops on a baking sheet.
