Friends, am hoping that all is well with you....
I have many video requests about freezer cooking, batch cooking and obviously freezing and thawing the food.
Honestly those are videos i could do without hesitation but the problem is that i don't make freezer meals anymore. My first freezer was a LG freshmaster and i could pack the freezer with cooked beans ,lentils, pilau chapatis etc. Actually it was hard to see any frozen ingredient there because the freezer only had ready meals.
To cut the story short, the fridge broke down one time and while i waited for the fundi to show up and repair … which he didn't immediately, I had to unlearn the culture of removing food from the fridge and popping it in the microwave and serving. I was back to cooking from scratch and serving directly to the plate and leaving the left overs in the cooking pot for warming the following day lol.
When eventually the fridge was ready for the work, the microwave buttons could not work properly and that gave me trouble too. Not knowing if it could start and warm the frozen food gave me trouble and discouraged me from freezing cooked the food.
Fast forward i was getting hooked to the culture of making fresh food and i wont lie, I felt different in my tummy and body in general and all i wanted was to continue cooking fresh food.
I have ever since drifted from meal prepping where i cook the food and keep it ready to warm and eat to meal planning where i prep the ingredients and keep them ready for my weekly meals.
But this is however a video on how to freeze, thaw and heat bread so i know a few things lol
First freeze freshly made bread whether home made or store made.
Wrap it in parchment paper and then put in the zip lock bag and then freeze.
When its time to eat the bread transfer from the freezer to the fridge preferably overnight, can also keep it on the counter and you can microwave 10 to 15 seconds, toast or put in the oven to warm.
Lastly consume the bread within 2 days.
