Quick question..is it ok to freeze rice as I've been told it would go bad

aycor

Yes if it has been cooked same day and is thoroughly reheated when defosted. Left over rice is very difficult to keep safely once cool as in rice salad as very nasty food poisening can result.

Does egg freeze ok? I'm going to be making soup tomorrow using just the yolks and wondered if I could freeze the whites to use later (coconut macaroons spring to mind).

TIA

Hi, I have half a tub of mascarpone left over from a recipe last week. am currently making pasta bakes and am wondering if I can put dollops of it in them and freeze them? or just freeze the tub? seems a waste to get rid if I can keep it for longer?

I freeze the odd half tub now and again and I also freeze it within sauces. All without any problem!

thanks-I just dolloped it on top of the pasta sauce and hoped for the best

Hi, Newbie here (or rather Oldbie who forgot login and had to re-register)


I bought a stack of Hotel Chocolat chocolates yesterday - not very OS I know but they were half price as near the sell by date.

Does anyone have any experience of freezing fancy chocolates?


thanks for any advice!

Hello! I've used frozen mascarpone in cooking with no problems.

I'll merge this into the Freezing Quick Questions Thread to keep all the suggestions together.

.........That is home made corned been and potato pie.

I was thinking that I could freee it in slices and defost when needed.

If I can, how would I reheat it:j

Thanks very much...

I do it ll the time, I let it defrost on its own and heat it a little in the oven, meduim heat. You could deforst it while frozen but I would cover it with foil as the pastry will probably burn.
