freezing stew

[Denverdoll]

can i freeze a beef stew with potatoes in it ?

Yes

Absolutely!

Just make sure, as with all reheating, it is piping hot, as previously frozen potatoes tend to have a crystallised texture until they are really hot. People often give up before this stage thinking that potatoes simply don't freeze well.

Yep

Why wouldn't you be able to? I freeze all my stews and they always have potatoes in. It's all so wet anyway it's not like it goes noticeably soggy on reheating?

Yes! Love a bit of reheated stew

I think it actually improves on freezing/reheating

I froze some strew with really tough meat and it was tender on reheating, the spuds may be mushy but still nice.

Thanks everyone. Gonna do it!

Go for it. The only thing I wouldn't freeze is dumplings for it.

Yes but it'll be minging when you reheat it

Aunt Bessie’s do some good frozen ones that you can use for something like this

Good to know, thanks!
