I have a question about this... I always used to want to make things and freeze them but got put off as I'm not sure how to re cook them after they've been frozen? E.g I've made macaroni cheese before and frozen it but when cooked again the sauce was awful maybe just chose a bad thing to freeze? Any tips? Sorry to butt in! Xx

I don't freeze macaroni for the same reason! So I'd be interested in any ideas too.

pasta is deffo not good frozen & reheated...well in my experiences anyway! lol. i usually reheat soups, stews and sauces in a pan on a low heat! the rest i leave to defrost & usually whack in the microwave!!!

Stews and casseroles are really good to freeze.
things like soup and stuff aswell. I dont freeze pasta

I freeze so much stuff, I always buy the bigger value packs, Ive got a massive pot (I call it my cauldron ) and I make huge amounts of stuff and then freeze 4 or 5 portions aswell as eating it that night. Saves time, money and avoids buying ready meals. When I reheat anything I always pour 2 or 3 oz of boiled water over them and stir before putting in the microwave, the process of frezing and defrosting seems to make tha water dissapear. Ive got a lot of little lasagne dishes for 1-2 people and I never make a big one, unless we're having people round, I make 4 little ones and freeze. Same with minced beef hash, cottage pie...
