Can I Freeze My Meals?Updated 3 months ago
Absolutely! While our meals are designed to be enjoyed fresh, most of them can be frozen for later. Freezing is a great option if you want to extend the shelf life of your meals.
Which meals freeze best?
Generally, meals with hearty ingredients—such as casseroles, curries, stews, and bakes—freeze exceptionally well. Meals with fresh greens, salads, or dairy-based sauces may have a slight texture change once thawed.
How should I freeze my meals?
For best results:
- Keep the meal in its original container or transfer it to an airtight, freezer-safe container.
- Label it with the date to keep track of freshness.
- Store it in the freezer at or below -18°C.
How long can I freeze my meals?
We recommend consuming frozen meals within three months for the best taste and texture.
How do I reheat a frozen meal?
For best results:
- From frozen: Remove the lid slightly and microwave on medium power for 5–7 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Defrost first: Let the meal thaw in the fridge overnight, then heat in the microwave for 2–3 minutes until piping hot.
- Always check that your meal is heated evenly before eating!
Will freezing affect the taste or texture?
Most meals will retain their delicious flavours after freezing. However, some ingredients, like leafy greens and dairy-heavy sauces, may have a slightly different texture when reheated.
