What other brilliant frozen food have I missed?

[nahthatsnotforme]

So the recent thread resoundingly in favour of frozen mash made me buy some… and yes Mumsnet is quite correct.. totally converted. Which got be wondering what else have I missed?
My frozen foods are just the usual chips, peas and fishfingers. What other game changers are out there?

I have not RTFT so these may have been mentioned:

diced white onions
chopped garlic
chopped chilli
chopped ginger
croissants (bake at home)
edemame

Base mix is an absolute life changer if you cook from scratch a lot!

Haagen-dazs and vodka.

Separately or together…

Every true Mumsnetter has a tiny spoon to make a meal or dessert last. 😁

Frozen mushrooms. Add to any casserole, stew, soup, curry. They had a really nice flavour.
Yorkshire puddings.
Red cabbage with apple.

Morrisons now have this!

Boxes of Punjabi samosas. Bake in the oven and they are lovely. Much nicer than the flat triangle kind.

Arancini from M&S.

Itsu bao buns and gyoza.

TGI Fridays frozen sesame chicken strips from Iceland - amazing!

I agree with this , tescos parathas are good and cook in a few seconds in a very hot frying pan.

I also agree that frozen berries are great too, except strawberries they always go mushy

It doesn't sound at all promising, but Iceland's frozen burger buns (do they still do them?) are the best I've ever tasted. Sesame seeds, quite chewy, remind me of a Wimpy burger bun. So much better than the fresh ones.

The Tesco Salt and Chilli Chicken goujons are AMAZING, in a wrap with salad they are one our favourite quick teas 😋

Frozen spinach. I make up a harris chicken and spinch pasta for work lunches. 90 seconds in the microwave, so easy to add some greens without worrying about wastage / ensuring you’ve got it in. I do like the frozen mash too. I tend to buy the ready meal mash now, as it’s only for me. Tastes quite good, but might get some of the frozen Mccain in again as did like that. I like the frozen jackets too, handy to have in when looking for something quick.

A head of celery happily sits in the salad drawer for a month.

Ooh I’ll be trying this!!

Less time in micro, 15-20 mins in oven for crispy

Frozen sweetcorn is brilliant - I live alone so can just take how much I need. Frozen broad beans are great too and much less faff and wastage than fresh.

Cook a extra one and have it with jam / marmalade/ peanut butter/ nuttella etc 😋

Frozen onions (normal and red), frozen garlic and frozen chopped peppers. Absolute life savers and I regularly use them in slow cooker meals.

This is yum

Waitrose

Frozen cherries 🍒

Frozen ginger and garlic, not together, are great. I'm finding fresh garlic a bit hit and miss and it keeps sprouting, but having frozen cubes of it is really handy. I still like having fresh ginger for topping ramen etc

Does frozen spinach not make things watery?

I have pretty much every type of vegetable frozen in my freezer, along with every kind of meat. It doesn't matter what I want to make, I literally have the ingredients for everything!

Also the frozen jackets are great too.

I also keep two loaves of bread - white and brown - in the freezer. I don't eat a huge amount of bread, but I can then just toast two pieces whenever I fancy it, and the loaf lasts for ages.

My dream (yes, my life is that sad haha) is to buy a chest freezer and just go to Iceland/Farmfoods and buy EVERYTHING!
