Tips on freezing food

Before you run off and create one of the tasty recipes above, we’ve provided a few tips around freezing your foods:

1. Wait until the food has entirely cooled down - it could cause other foods in the freezer to melt as it will adjust the temperature of your freezer.

2. Be sure to wrap your food in airtight containers to avoid freezer burn. Note: freezer food is perfectly safe to eat, however, you may notice a slight change in texture or taste.

3. Freeze your food in realistic portions - you don’t want to run into the issue of having to defrost soup enough for the whole family if you only need one serve.

4. Don’t forget to label your foods so you know exactly what is in the container, and the date.
