When you are preparing
a main dish, it often takes
little more time or effort to
make enough for several
meals. You ran freeze it all
in meal size packages, or
serve part of it the same
day and freeze the rest.
For tiptop quality and
economical use of freezer
spare, plan to use pre
rooked main dishes within
two or three months. You
ran, however, keep these
foods, if properly packaged
and stored, up to six
months w ith o u t serious
quality loss After that, the
food won't be as tasty but it
will still be safe to eat.
Prepare the food just as
you would if you were
going to serve it right
away. Do not overcook. In
fart, some ingredients in
main dishes that must be
reheated for serving are
better if slightly underdone
when frozen. Pastry crusts
are better if frozen un
baked. They will be more
tender, flakier, and have a
fresher flavor than those
