Frozen food..

[ummmm]

Do you think it has an effect?

I think it has an effect on some foods. Carrots that have been frozen don't seem to taste the same as fresh raw carrots. For me anyway.

I agree with Ecclescake about the drying out of the pork skin. Same with chicken skin. I use a couple of sheets of Plenty to dry any meat/chicken before roasting once defrosted.

Most veg doesn't freeze well.

I couldn't tell the difference with the tuna steaks so they're def going on next weeks shopping list. Bargain.

we bought some wonderful swordfish steaks from Tesco the other day (I know I digress, they were fresh, but they were so good).

I've also noticed some freeze burns (or whatever they are called) on meat and chicken. Kind of turns the edges white and dry. Its usually stuff I've had at the back of the freezer for ages and forgotten about.

For some reason I'm not keen on fresh tuna steaks. I've had them a couple of times at restaurants and they been quite dry. It has put me off buying them.

Peas and swetcorn are ok all other frozen veg is crap.
Meat seems ok to me.

I have a look Boxy.

Tiggs - tuna goes very dry that's why it's best rare.

Mick - Green beans are okay as well. I prefer them frozen rather than fresh.

Don't think I was asked how I wanted it cooked and it came out cooked right through. Maybe I'll give it a go myself and cook it how I like it, which is rare.
