Cooking, Freezing then Reheating
Ive got the crap shifts at work next week and I dont want to ruin my meal plans.
If I cook a few chicken breasts and a load of brocelli, then freeze the lot in tupperware individually etc is it ok to defrost them thru out the day at work then mircoware it? |

Yes that is fine for the chicken as long as you cool and freeze fairly quickly, within a few hours at most. You may find the chicken gets a bit dry in the freeze, thaw, reheat process though.
Brocelli is likely to turn to mush. Is it not possible to cook it at work. You can microwave steam it a few minutes, or cook it 80% through at home before you leave and finish at work. |

For that meal it doesn't seem that you would save much time. A steamed/poached chicken breast and the same with brocolli wouldn't take much longer.
You could even cook them both from fresh in the microwave with a bit of trial and error. Reheat meals are good for stews/ragus/curries like bolognaise, chilli, hot pot etc. |
