why is foil made out of aluminum? are there any advantages of using this specific element?
Yes it is a great way to prepare food if you work, just remove it from the freezer and put it in the oven until thawed and hot and serve.
You can cook and freeze anything really, I doJust make sure you heat it up properly before you eat it and make sure the containers are microwave safe or oven safe (if you want to use the oven instead of the microwave)
I make food and freeze it all the timeBest are soups, chili, meat sauce.and you can freeze chicken just fine,wrap in layers of plastic without air, you can freeze pizzaI freeze all my leftovers from Thankgiving (except cranberry sauce) into individual meals, turkey stuffing potatoes gravy and veggiesYou just want to make as airtight as possible and use it in a short amount of time Ive even frozen sub sandwiches, just minus the lettuce and tomato wrap your meat and cheese sandwich .tightly(not salads)
You should get about 4 recipes together, make them, cool them, separate them into zip lock freezer bags and then freeze themDefrost them in the fridge over night when you need themA tomato sauce - to be used for pasta dishes - just buy some Ragu pasta sauce and put it in the cupboard with several packages of dry pasta, buy some cheeses for grating, buy some Italian Sausages to cook right in the tomato sauce when you heat it up - on simmer and cook the pasta for 10 minutes and you have dinnerChili con carne with canned chick peas and meat - the chick peas don't break down so much like kidney beans or pinto beans Lasagna - I make 12 servings in a 9 x 13 pan and then when it is cooked and cooled I cut it up and freeze them in separate portionsroasted turkey or chicken or ham - bag them in enough for one or two peopleSoups don't freeze too well, especially ones with milk in themTomato sauce, chili, lasagna, cooked meats, cabbage rolls, shepherd's pie, meat pieschicken or turkey pot pie all freeze well don't forget to buy some bagged salads to have with the meals.
