I think I need to start having a freezer stocked with nutrious food. The past 2 weeks have seen us eat more takeaway than we should, some ready meals and this needs to change. (Unexpectedly needing to work late, a couple of hospital visits straight from work etc, needed easy quick food)
My questions are (probably stupid ones but I don't do a lot of cooking)
Can I freeze food that has cream or coconut milk? I make chicken tikka but only enough for that night (and perhaps a small dish for the next day) would love to have a stock of this in the freezer buy worried the cream would spoil.
Those tinfoil cartons - can I use these as baking tin? So could I make lasagne in these as individual portions and just defrost and heat as required?
And also, how can I cool food down quickly? I have no idea, I rarely make enough food other than what we are going to eat that night. But I'd love to make cartons of soup - how can I cool these quickly to put in the freezer?
Thanks
