<p><strong>Freeze for:</strong> Up to three months</p>
<p><strong>How to wrap:</strong> Freeze in a tightly sealed, lidded, freezable container.</p>
<p><strong>How to defrost:</strong> Overnight in the fridge.</p>
<h2>Tips for freezing food</h2>
<ul>
<li>It’s important to label frozen foods with the contents and date they were frozen. Sticky labels often come unstuck in the freezer.</li>
<li>Never refreeze frozen food (unless it’s been cooked into another dish) – this can encourage bacteria to multiply to dangerous levels.</li>
</ul>
<p>With our helpful guide, <a href="/guide/make-your-freezer-work-for-you">make your freezer work for you</a>, you can find more tips and tricks for extending the shelf life of your food.</p>
