What sandwiches freeze the best?

[DontPanic42]

So I read on here people freeze their sandwiches for the week, and I would like to do the same, but what are the best sandwiches to freeze? And how long to defrost?

Grated cheese with or without pickle
Ham

What in the name of god.... why have I never known this!!

Defrosts in a couple of hours

Any sort of cooked meat: chicken, beef, corn beef , meat pastes also works well.

Loom at you all popping in with your answers like it's the most obvious thing in the world. My jaw is literally on the floor

*look

This is a bizarre concept

Just no. It takes 2 mins to make a couple of sandwiches. Why the hell would you freeze them and end up with soggy bread to save 2 minutes on a morning?? Just get up a few minutes earlier.

The thought of it actually makes me feel sick

Chicken humus - use bread rolls rather than sliced bread.

Cheese, ham, pate, chicken all work fine, salad and anything with mayo doesn't.
I know lots of people think it's horrible but it is a time saver and worth giving a go.
If you/your family don't like them, then don't do it again.

I’ve been fteezing sandwiches for years. Generally either cheese or ham. I usually batch make them over the weekend, get them out of the freezer in the morning and shove them in lunchboxes. DCs have never complained about soggy sarnies and it’s one less thing to do in the morning.

Do they really taste fresh though? I can't imagine freezing a whole sandwich.

Hang on.... don't they just turn to mush when defrosting?

They're fine, not mushy and taste the same, to me and Dd anyway.

Sounds disgusting. Are you sure people actually do this? A sandwich can be made in 2 minutes.

Thank you, going to try these out. One more question, butter or no butter?
I make at least 4 sets of sandwiches everyday, and just looking for something to save a little time.

I used to take them out in the morning for packed lunches and they’d be defrosted by lunch time. Although the lunch boxes were kept in the classroom rather than anywhere cool. If you were storing in the fridge it might take longer.

The only ones I ever got a complaint about was tuna mayo, which didn’t defrost quick enough.

Do the anti freeze people not realise pre packed sandwiches in M and S , supermarkets etc are frozen.

@MaisyMary77 do you think maybe your DCs have ever known anything other than a soggy sanga? So no frame of reference for them? the poor sods

Do the anti freeze people not realise pre-packed sandwiches in MandS supermarkets etc are frozen.

WTAF? They can't be, what about the salad stuff? Do you mean super chilled? I'm

I've frozen cheese rolls with spreadable butter, and they taste fresher to me than freshly made cheese rolls! They defrost by lunch but are still slightly chilled which I prefer over a room temperature roll

Dcs like the expensive brand bagels for lunch so I buy them when they’re on special offer, fill them then freeze and pop them into a box in the morning and they’re fine by lunchtime. I’ve got 4 weeks worth of filled bagels in my freezer at the moment

Lol, no, they only ever have packed lunches on school days.

They get to have normal sandwiches (whatever that means-dd2 likes marmite with cheese and chocolate spread) over the weekend and in the holidays and generally whenever they’re at home if they want a sandwich 😁
