Freezing - Tips and Quick Questions thread

My partner would like me to make a batch of cranberry sauce while cranberries are still in season, but he's the only one that likes it - is it suitable to freeze homemade cranberry sauce so it doesn't get wasted?

Basically I made some bolognese sauce last night and was planning to use the rest tomorrow so covered it in film and put it in the fridge. Thing is, plans have changed and we're now not going to be here to eat it so I was wondering if it's still OK to freeze even though I made it yesterday? Opinions?

In a word, yes

Longer explanation - I always make more than I will eat, cool it overnight and freeze it the next day - been doing this for years with no ill effects.

Only the same as buying a ready meal or something to heat up ( I don't buy these but just for the ease of explanation!), and then freezing it when you're home.

That most likely wasn't made the day before and you'd come to no harm.

No problem in freezing it. I do it all the time even after a couple of days, it doesn't always go in the same day as freezing

Hi

Yes this will be fine to freeze.

If you think about it when you freeze something it is held at whatever point it goes into the freezer at in terms of freshness until you defrost it to use.

As you were going to eat it tomorrow from the fridge it will actually go into the freezer in a fresher state than it would have been when you were originally goung to eat it.

Hope that makes sense

Yes - I did this yesterday too, made bolognase and put the rest in a dish for the freezer to be made into shepherds pie for the kids sometime.......and this has just reminded me to go and put it in the freezer!!!
