The bottom line is. You can easily and successfully freeze any leftover duck meat in any form without compromising its delicious taste or texture.
Since I know that ducks are usually served on special occasions and get-togethers, there is always a big chance that there might be some duck meat leftovers. That’s why learning how to correctly store your leftover duck in the freezer is essential to prevent this flavorful, heavenly food from going to waste!
How to freeze cooked duck
- Make sure that the cooked ducks are cool enough and have reached room temperature before you transfer them to the freezer.
- You can either freeze the cooked ducks in their sauce, or as a part of a whole dish.
- Place the cooked ducks in a freezer-friendly container, plastic jar, or zip-lock bag.
However, there is a much safer way to store your duck, which is tightly wrapping the duck with tin foil or cling film to minimize the air present while it stays in the freezer. This should retain its high quality for as long as possible and eliminate any chance of freezer burns. - Label the container containing the duck with the date of freezing and the name of the method the duck is cooked with.
How long can you freeze cooked duck?
It can withstand the freezer for up to 3 months. However, I do recommend reheating and enjoying it within the first few weeks of freezing, as you might notice slight changes in the texture of the meat as it stays longer in the freezer.
How to defrost cooked duck?
The best way to defrost the frozen cooked ducks is to just move it from the freezer to the fridge and allow it to thaw slowly overnight. It can take some time to completely defrost. That’s why you can also defrost duck meat in the microwave after adjusting it to “Defrost” setting. It shouldn’t take longer than a few minutes. Bear in mind, though, that the meat can turn a bit chewy after microwaving it.
How to reheat cooked duck
I always go with the oven method. All you have got to do is to just place the whole duck or duck breasts on a baking tray, cover the tray with tin foil so that the surface of the duck doesn’t dry, then move the tray to a preheated oven.
You can also place the ducks in a pan and reheat it on the stovetop. It should be perfect if you are planning to stir fry the defrosted duck meat.
The most important thing is to measure the temperature of the reheated duck meat using any type of food thermometer before serving. It should be over 75°c for at least 30 seconds or 80°c for at least 6 seconds. Don’t serve it if it hasn’t reached this temperature, continue heating it till it does.

]]>Yes. You can easily and successfully freeze cabbage soup and preserve its amazing taste for a good amount of time. Don’t sweat it!
The taste and texture shouldn’t differ as long as you follow the freezing steps I am going to share with you precisely.
The good news is. You can freeze either homemade or store-bought canned cabbage soup. So, you will always have yourself a flavorful, economical, and low-calorie warm dinner in the freezer, ready to be enjoyed!
How to freeze cooked cabbage soup
Before you follow the step-by-step guide to freezing, you have to ensure that your freshly cooked soup is cool enough to at least room temperature before trying to freeze it. That could be achieved by separating the hot cabbage soup bulk into separate containers to facilitate its cooling.
An extra tip you should bear in mind: freezing the soup in small portions will be easier when you want to defrost it later on. It will take less time to defrost and will exactly be the portion you will need.
- Once you have made sure that the soup is cold and has reached at least room temperature, pour it into either a plastic tub, zip-lock bag, or even a glass jar. You can choose the size of container you need so that you will have yourself defined portions.
- Label the container containing the cabbage soup with the date and the contents of the container so that it is easier for you to later on distinguish it from all the stored food.
Bear in mind, though, that the cabbage soup can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days without any change in taste or texture.
The soup might be a bit thin after freezing, but nothing a tablespoon of heavy cream can’t fix!
How long can cooked cabbage soup last in the freezer?
It can stay in the freezer for up to 6 months. And even longer, but don’t expect it to hold the same premium quality!
How to defrost cooked cabbage soup
I prefer to defrost my cabbage soup slowly in the fridge on the top shelf overnight. It is the safest method for any frozen food.
A much quicker alternative is to just place it in the microwave after adjusting it to “Defrost” settings and wait for a few minutes.
How to reheat cabbage soup
You have many options when it comes to reheating cabbage soup after freezing. One of which is reheating the cabbage soup in a glass or plastic jar covered with cling film that will prevent the soup from overflowing while bubbling.
Another option is to reheat your soup inside a large pot on the stovetop. It might be a bit slower than the microwave method. However, the soup won’t be too runny.
Remember, if by any chance, the soup was thin and runny, you can add some heavy cream to dense it up and give it an extra creamy and delicious flavor.
The most important thing that you need to keep in mind when reheating any frozen food is the final temperature of the food. Which should be over 75°c for at least 30 seconds or 80°c for at least 6 seconds. You can check the temperature using a digital thermometer every few minutes…

]]>Yes. You can, in fact, freeze raw sausages. And not just raw sausages, but also, cooked ones. You can freeze whatever type of sausages you have from the cheapest store-bought type, up to the fanciest and meat-est ones from any local butcher. As long as they are within their use-by date.
Now I know how essential sausages are, especially when cooked for weeknight dinners. Nothing is easier or more fulfilling than some spicy sausage casserole. I get that the idea of having any leftover sausages might sound ridiculous. Let’s not kid ourselves. It is too delicious not to finish the whole plate at once. However, since it is almost a regular English dish, you might prefer to buy sausages in bulk and freeze them for later.
Can you freeze uncooked sausage balls?
Yes. You certainly can. I recommend following the flash freezing method when it comes to sausage balls. I am going to share with you the easy step-by-step guide you are going to follow.
How to freeze raw sausages:
Before you follow the following steps, know that you can either freeze the bought sausages as they are or you can remove them from their packaging and flash freeze them, so that it’s easier to later on defrost them.
- Start by lining a baking tray with parchment paper. Align sausages on the lined tray with a few inches between each sausage. Once you are done with adjusting the baking tray containing the sausages, wash your hand well. This is an important step after handling raw sausages.
- Transfer the tray with the sausages to the freezer to freeze. Leave it in the freezer for 2 – 3 hours.
- Once the sausages have had enough time to freeze. Transfer them from the tray to a freezer bag or a freezer-friendly container to store them in the freezer.
- Label the container or the bag containing the sausages with the date of freezing, as well as the use-by date, and the contents so that it is easier to later distinguish it from all the other food in the freezer.
You are free to immediately freeze the sausages once bought without first flash freezing them. However, I do prefer this method more as it allows the sausages to freeze and defrost more easily rather than taking longer time while being frozen in a big lump form.
How long do raw sausages last in the freezer?
To guarantee the highest quality, I would give sausages from one month to two. Bear in mind, though, they can last for more than two or three months and still be safe to eat. However, they won’t retain the same texture and flavor as freshly bought ones.
Frozen sausages at 0°F can last a lifetime without being spoilt.
How to defrost frozen sausages
Just transfer the sausages from the freezer to the fridge and leave them slowly defrost overnight on the top shelf. This might seem like a lengthy process, but it really isn’t if you already flash-froze the sausages. Also, know that it really depends on how you are planning to cook the sausages. You might not need to defrost them at all.
A much quicker alternative is to thaw the sausages inside the microwave after adjusting the settings to “Defrost” which shouldn’t take that long.
How to cook sausages from frozen
If you chose to allow them to thaw prior to cooking them, then you can cook them however you would prefer. But, if you want to skip the defrosting step, then I would recommend using the Air fryer or deep frying them.
It is essential for the frozen sausages to reach a safe temperature before serving and enjoying them. In this case the temperature should be over 75°c for at least 30 seconds or 80°c for at least 6 seconds. A digital thermometer should help you in measuring the temperature of the cooked sausages.

]]>Since I am a big advocate for minimizing climate change, I am often faced with the dilemma of whether I can or cannot freeze certain types of food as a way to eliminate food waste. Fortunately, Gorgonzola cheese qualifies as freezer-friendly food!
What is gorgonzola cheese?
For anyone that is yet to try Gorgonzola cheese, know that it is a type of blue cheese. However, it is slightly different than the known types of blue cheeses. It has a milder flavor with a softer texture, making it perfect for any cheese sauce, over a freshly baked pizza, or for a creamy soup or casserole.
Although, it is very suitable for serving alongside any cheese on a cheeseboard, freezing can slightly affect the texture, making it not so suitable for a cheeseboard. However, it will still be amazing with any other dish!
Where to buy gorgonzola cheese
You can buy this Italian delicacy from any Italian deli in your neighborhood.
How to store gorgonzola cheese?
When it comes to Gorgonzola cheese, freezing it or keeping it in the fridge is the best form of preserving it, since leaving it inside a container with other types of cheese will probably cause it to lose its smell and for it to affect the other types stored with it.
How to freeze gorgonzola cheese
The sky is your limit when it comes to freezing Gorgonzola cheese. Whether you chose to freeze it as one big cheese wedge, grated cheese, or crumbled pieces ready for sprinkling on top of a pizza. You are free to do it however you would like.
- A good wrapping of the Gorgonzola cheese is essential. You can tightly wrap it with cling film, tin foil, or a plastic freezer bag. You can also use a freezer-friendly container.
- It is recommended to double-wrap the cheese piece with two different materials. For example, cling film and tinfoil to ensure the isolation of the cheese from all the surrounding smells and flavors.
- Before moving the tightly wrapped and contained Gorgonzola cheese, label it with the date of freezing and its name so that it is easy to later distinguish it from all the other food in the freezer.
How long can Gorgonzola cheese stay in the freezer?
Gorgonzola cheese wedges can withstand the freezer for up to 3 months, retaining its premium quality. It can, however, stay for longer, but don’t expect it to be as good as the freshly bought one.
How to defrost gorgonzola cheese
You have a few options when it comes to defrosting the frozen Gorgonzola cheese. You can use it straight from the freezer to the stove if you are going to cook with it casserole or soup, since the pot will already be bubbling on the stove.
I prefer to leave it overnight in the fridge to thaw slowly. Bear in mind, though, that if you have small chunks of cheese frozen, then it shouldn’t take more than a few hours for it to completely defrost in the fridge.
Just remember that freezing can affect the texture of the cheese, so do keep that in mind before freezing the delicious Gorgonzola cheese.

]]>Theoretically speaking, you can freeze creamed leeks. However, you have to put some things in mind if you are planning to do so. Creamy sauce can be affected by the freezing process and it might end up cracking and losing its unique texture. But, you can still save it by making the leeks with white sauce instead of just cream. Which holds its texture more when frozen. All you will need to do when you are reheating it is to add a bit of milk and mix it well. This should give you the same creamy texture it had before being frozen.
What are creamed leeks?
‘cheesy leek bake’ or ‘leeks au gratin’ is basically this fancy and heavenly side dish that is made of chopped or sliced cooked leeks with an amazing creamy sauce and a sprinkle of cheese on top, resulting into a creamy, cheesy, and fulfilling side dish!
How to make creamed leeks?
Well, there isn’t any specific recipe for this dish. You can either start by making the white sauce first by adding the milk to the roux and making the white sauce that will go over the sautéed leeks. Or you can just go ahead and add everything together, including the leeks and the cream in a pan and mix them together till the sauce thickens up. Once it does, you will just add a handful of cheese on top and bake it till it gains the signature golden brown color!
Remember, you can cut the leeks however you want. It won’t affect the freezing process.
How to freeze creamed leeks?
Before I go on with the detailed steps of freezing the creamed leeks. You have to consider whether you are planning to make this side dish ahead of time and freeze it for later, or whether you are going to just freeze any leftovers after a meal.
If you are going with the prior, then avoid adding the cheese on top, as it might affect the sauce while it is reheating after freezing.
On the other hand, if you are going to freeze leftovers, then don’t worry too much, it will taste as good as the freshly prepared dish!
- Wait for the creamed leeks to cool down to at least room temperature before you attempt to freeze it.
- Pour the creamed leeks into a freezer-friendly container, casserole, or foil dish, then wrap it tightly to prevent any freezer burns.
- Label the container of creamed leeks with the date and the contents of it to help you distinguish it from all the other food stored in the freezer.
Another alternative for freezing creamed leeks, which I think is the safest one, is freezing the fried in butter leeks separately from the cream and mixing in a freshly made cream once the frozen leeks defrost.
Can you freeze cheesy leeks?
Yes. Same with the creamy leeks.
Fun fact. They are both the same thing!
How long can it last in the freezer?
Creamed leeks can stay for up to 6 months in the freezer, and even longer, but with a slightly diminished quality!
How to defrost creamed leeks?
Just transfer the container with the creamed leeks from the freezer to the fridge and allow it to thaw overnight.
How to reheat creamed leeks?
I know you might have heard about many ways to reheat leftover or frozen creamed leeks, but I am going to share with you what I think is the best one. Which is reheating your defrosted creamed leeks inside a pan on the stovetop. This helps incorporating the components of the sauce together, returning it to its original form. Once the sauce is back to its creamy texture, sprinkle some cheese and transfer the creamed leeks to the oven for the cheese to melt and acquire the amazing golden color. The oven grill should do the trick as well.
The microwave and oven are also available. However, they might not give you the same results!
You will know the dish is ready for serving once the internal temperature reaches 75°c for at least 30 seconds or 80°c for at least 6 seconds. Use a cooking thermometer to constantly check the temperature.

]]>To that, I would say yes. You can, in fact, freeze duck fat as a way of storage instead of throwing it away.
Besides the fact that you can buy canned duck fat, it can also be produced from roasting a whole duck, duck legs, or duck breasts!
And since I know not that many people know how exactly to use duck fat, I am going to give you a little idea about the different meals that could go very well with duck fat:
How to use duck fat?
Searing meat: yup. Searing your meat in duck fat instead of regular butter or vegetable oil takes a simple steak to a whole new level. I mean, the mix of delicious flavors is incomparable!
Popcorn: You should definitely try popping your popcorn with duck fat, if you haven’t already. No need to add any flavor to the popcorn as it will already be flavored enough!
Duck fat roast potatoes: Roasted potatoes are almost always a constant in every Christmas meal. And my secret ingredient is duck fat. Which gives it an extra crispy edge and a whole new delicious flavor!
That’s why I like to freeze my duck fat. It allows me to have it ready whenever I fancy any of the delicious dishes I mentioned above, and many more!
Not to mention the fact that I can even freeze duck fat roasted potatoes ready to use in Christmas dinner!
How to freeze duck fat?
The only rule that you need to keep in mind before freezing duck fat is the amount you want to freeze. That depends on the purpose of using the duck fat later on. Meaning, if you don’t have a certain purpose for the frozen duck fat, then I suggest you freeze it in a silicon ice cube tray and then move the cubes to a freezer bag.
This will allow you to defrost only the number of cubes you need without taking the whole frozen amount out of the freezer, just to use a tiny portion of it!
- Once you have your duck fat, wait for it to cool down to room temperature before pouring it in a container and freezing it.
- When it is cool enough, either pour the duck fat into a silicone ice cube tray and allow it to solidify in the freezer for 1-2 hours, or pour it in a freezer-friendly container to store it as a whole.
- In case of using a silicone ice cube tray, then after leaving it for an hour or so for it to solidify. Unmold the duck fat cubes and place them in a freezer bag.
- Label the freezer bag or the container with the date of freezing and its contents so that you can distinguish it from the other food stored in the freezer.
How to defrost duck fat?
Just move the container with the frozen duck fat from the freezer to the fridge and allow it to slowly thaw overnight.
But you don’t always need to defrost duck fat first before cooking with it. For example, if you are going to use it to sear meat or vegetables, then add the frozen duck fat cubes immediately from the freezer to the pan without defrosting them!
Try to prevent any contact of the duck fat with water, including the water on the meat and vegetables you are going to cook it with. Try to dry them using a kitchen towel prior to adding the duck fat to the pan.
How long will duck fat keep in the freezer?
It can withstand freezing for up to 4 months, keeping its excellent quality. And even stay for longer in the freezer and be safe and ready to eat, but with a slightly diminished flavor.
You have another option for storage. If you are going to use it within a week, then you can just leave it in the fridge, no need to freeze it.

]]>People are rightly so to question whether they can freeze roast dinner. Nothing feels better than to start my week with a heavenly home-cooked Sunday roast dinner. And I know how discouraging it could get to cook this big meal once every week. That’s why freezing might be the best option you have to keep this flavorful tradition alive.
Can you freeze a plated roast dinner?
You absolutely can. Just make sure it is cold enough or at least has the same room temperature before placing it in the freezer.
All you have got to do is place it in a foil tray or any regular dish, cover it, then put it into the freezer.
How to freeze a roast dinner?
When it comes to freezing roast dinner, you will have one of two options. Either freeze a roast dinner plate as a whole including all its different components (meat, roasted potatoes, vegetables, and gravy) which will be ready once you want to take it off the freezer. Or you can freeze each of these components separately so that you can make other meals with them instead of roast dinner.
- Once you have made sure that your roast dinner is at least at room temperature, cover the plate containing the roast dinner with cling film or aluminum foil. Or you can just pour the contents of the plate into a microwave-safe container and cover it tightly.
- Label the container or the plate with its contents and date of cooking so that it is easier for you to later distinguish it from the other food stored in the freezer.
How long can roast dinner stay in the freezer?
You can keep the roast dinner in the freezer for 3 months without any change in taste. However, some of the component’s texture might be affected a little. For example, gravy can turn a bit runny after reheating. As well as the roasted potatoes, which might not be the same as before freezing. But they do retain the same delicious taste and warmness!
How to defrost a roast dinner?
Just transfer the plate or container containing the frozen roast dinner from the freezer to the fridge to thaw overnight.
I prefer to allow the frozen roast dinner to defrost completely before reheating it so that I don’t risk any chance of shattering my plate or dish due to extreme heat changes.
How to reheat a roast dinner?
The oven is my favorite option because it guarantees the perfect heating of every component of the dinner roast. However, it might be the slowest one, as I have to wait for the oven to first preheat before I place my defrosted dinner roast.
Make sure to cover the roast with aluminum foil before heating it to avoid its drying. Also, notice that some things like the Yorkshire pudding, might take slightly less time to reheat than other things like the meat. So, bear in mind to remove it once it reheats enough.
Reheating roast dinner in the microwave is also another option that you have. It is also quicker than the oven method. Just don’t forget to cover the plate with cling film before placing it in the microwave.
You will know your roast is ready and safe to eat once the internal temperature reaches 75°c for at least 30 seconds or 80°c for at least 6 seconds.
Don’t attempt to freeze and reheat your roast dinner more than once!

How to freeze a ham?
I am going to share with you here the steps of freezing both, cooked, and uncooked ham.
How to freeze a whole uncooked ham:
What’s special about store-bought uncooked whole ham is the fact that it is usually well wrapped in plastic wrap after being brined in salt, which acts as a good preservative, making it stay for longer than you might anticipate. It could stay for a whole year in the freezer before it starts losing its high quality and becoming more prone to freezer burns!
How to freeze a whole cooked ham:

I found it even better to store small portions of the cooked hams than the ham as a whole. It takes less time for me to defrost it and allows me to just take the amount that I need instead of the whole thing.
- Start by tightly wrapping your ham with many layers of cling film after making sure its temperature is cool enough. Then wrap an extra layer of tin foil over the cling film to make sure it is tightly sealed.
- Place the wrapped ham inside a plastic bag, or an airtight container.
- Label the container or the bag with the date and the contents of the container before you put it in the freezer.

How to freeze brownie batter
Before you attempt to freeze your brownie batter, you have to know the plan after freezing. Are you going to bake the brownies after allowing it to defrost? Or are you going to take it from the freezer, then straight to the oven?
If you are going with the first option, then just put your brownie batter in a freezer-friendly plastic bag and that’s it. That’s all you are going to need. Once the brownie batter completely defrosts, you will just snip the corner of the bag and start squeezing the dough into the baking tray.
While if you are planning the latter, then you should go for aluminum tray or better yet, a glass baking dish. These will lead to a better outcome than any metallic trays as the taste of the brownies might be slightly affected by the taste of metal trays.
- Place your brownie dough into whichever container you like once you have thoroughly mixed it.
