  • Freezing things

    This may be a stupid question but i guess I'm after confirmation and moral support as much as any thing.
    Is it ok to make up a pie filling (savoury) and freeze it ahead of making the actual pie?

    Also I heard/read somewhere that you can make and freeze your stuffing for christmas ahead of time. Is this true. Do you think it would effect the taste?
    Would make life that much easier if I could do this.

    Thanks guys.

    Freezing your pie filling beforehand will be just fine - I've done it with fish pie, and shepherds pie with no adverse affects. Probably best to let it thaw before topping it though, otherwise the frozen and unfrozen will cook at different rates.

        Shouldn't be a problem Missy Moo. I freeze bits of cake as well if I'm short of airtight tin space and in fact anything I can. Some things don't have a long freezer life but if you are making now for Christmas I wouldn't worry.

        If at first you don't succeed, open a bottle of wine.

            As a general rule missy moo, you can freeze somthing raw, cook it and refreeze it, cook it and eat it, so you can freeze once in raw state, and freeze once again cooked, but then you have to eat it, or throw it. obviously freezing twice only works well with "wet" dihes, so pie filling should be fine.
