cooking from frozen
I forgot to take a pre-prepared Tesco Moussaka out of the freezer this morning. It says not to cook from frozen, but I've had plenty of prepared dishes that could be cooked from frozen - you just give them an extra 20 minutes or so. Why is this one different? Can I get away with cooking it from frozen?

Can't you defrost it in your microwave? (always assuming you have one, & the meal isn't in a metal container) then just cook it in the oven as normal.

It's in a metal container. It's not the end of the world if I can't have it tonight, but I'm just wondering what the difference is between this and other similar meals that you can cook from frozen

i wonder sometimes if they cover their own backs by making the instructions so rigid - the frozen chicken i had in a foil container said defrost for at least 18 hours.
I didn't - i only defrosted it for 6 - but nothing happned. |
