Can you freeze cold cuts?!
Answers: My date listened to well when I said I needed meat and bought me all sorts of cold cuts... all white meats, how do they freeze? Do they thaw mushy? Do they pick up odd flavor? or do the freeze well and thaw like nothing happened?? Will it get tough? (they are in their original puff, air tight packaging)
Yes, go ahead and freeze them. They'll be fine. But you have to thaw out the whole package to use any of it. Portion it up first and repackage in ziplocks. I've frozen deli ham slices, deli chicken slices, and deli turkey slices. Even salami and pepperoni. It's great for emergencies.
yes, they freeze solid, thaw fine, taste the same as long as you keep em sealed, they should be fine
no they do not thaw mushy. Leave them in the original packaging then put them in a freezer bag make sure and squeeze all the air out of the bag before you seal it shut. I have been a cook for 28 years.
I have tried several time to freeze deli meats. When they unthaw they seem to be very watery and tasteless. But that is just me.
Sounds as if you did good, he listen and you got, freeze them and they will do great. Pull them out later to have a special date with them they heard you, in my book that means you came out on top and owe them. If not, food for one of those rainy days.
