The “BIG CHILL” and the “BIG THAW” What Can You Freeze? Pampered Chef FREEZER MEAL recipes were developed to maintain their quality during freezing.

Ingredients that do not freeze well, as well as large amounts of water or broth, are added at the time of cooking for more efficient freezing and higher quality finished meals.

Some foods simply don’t freeze well, like mayonnaise, cream sauces and lettuce.

Keep it Safe

Freezing at 0°F or lower will keep food safe, and also retain vitamin content, color, flavor and texture.

Don’t store FREEZER MEALS in the freezer door. Temperature fluctuation from opening the freezer leads to freezer burn and a reduced shelf life.

Stored properly, your meals should maintain optimal quality for up to 3 months.

Freshness & Quality Use fresh, high quality ingredients when preparing your FREEZER MEALS to ensure the best flavor when

thawed and cooked.

Use meat that has not been previously frozen. Re-freezing meat compromises both texture and flavor.

Packaging Freeze your FREEZER MEALS in food storage bags designed for the freezer. Freezer bags are made of

thicker plastic that helps to prevent freezer burn. Freezer burn does not make food unsafe, but causes dry spots. To prevent freezer burn, press out as much air as possible from the bags. Then, press the mixture into a thin layer, filling the bag almost to the top before sealing and freezing. This makes thawing quick and efficient.

Always DOUBLE BAG your freezer meals. This provides extra protection from freezer burn and avoids messy leaks that might occur during thawing.

A bag that is 2-inches thick should freeze in about 2 hours. Place your bags in a single layer on various shelves to freeze thoroughly. Stack bags only after they’re frozen.

Safe Thawing

Plan ahead! Your FREEZER MEALS will take 1-2 days to completely thaw depending on the density of the food.

The safest way is to thaw food is in the refrigerator where it will remain at a safe, constant temperature-- 40°F or below. Never thaw food on the counter at room temperature, as the food will thaw unevenly and the outer layer could be in the “Danger Zone,” between 40°F and 140°F.

If your FREEZER MEAL has more than one component (for example, grated cheese, vegetables or topping), you may separate them for quicker thawing, keeping the meat in the double bag to avoid any possible leaking.

Once your freezer meal is thawed, plan on cooking it within 1-2 days. For optimal results, do not re-freeze your FREEZER MEAL after thawing.

Beyond the Freezer Meal: Tips for Using Your Pampered Chef Pantry Products

RUBS & SEASONING MIXES

Chicken Your Way! (Also works for burgers, steak and chops!) Heat Grill Pan and Grill Press over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Brush chicken with oil and sprinkle with any Rub. Grill about 5 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Classic Party Dip Combine 1 cup mayo and 1 cup sour cream (regular or reduced-fat) and 2-3 tbsp Rub or Seasoning Mix. Chill until ready to use.

3-Minute Dip Combine 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese, 2 tbsp milk and 1-2 tbsp Rub in Garlic & Brie Baker. Microwave, covered, on HIGH 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking. Serve with fresh veggies or chips.

Easy Cheese Spread Combine 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese and 1 tbsp Rub or Seasoning Mix and mix well. Use with bagels, crackers or veggies.

Herb Butter Combine 1 stick (4 oz) softened butter and 1 tbsp Rub or Seasoning Mix and mix well. Use to make “garlic” bread or use with cooked vegetables, pasta, beef, chicken or seafood.

Herb Mayo Combine ½ cup mayo with 1 tbsp Rub or Seasoning Mix. Use as a sandwich spread or in tuna, chicken and egg salad.

Oven-Roasted Potatoes or Vegetables Toss potatoes (cubed) or vegetables with oil and sprinkle with a Rub or Seasoning Mix. Bake at 400°F about 30 minutes or until tender.

Popcorn Seasoning Sprinkle hot popcorn with your favorite Rub or Seasoning Mix.

Seasoned Rice Add 2-3 tsp of Rub or Seasoning Mix to the water when preparing rice.

INFUSED CANOLA OILS & VINEGAR

Classic Vinaigrette Whisk together ¼ cup Cherry Balsamic Vinegar, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp honey, ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper. Whisk in ½ cup Rosemary-Infused Canola Oil until blended. (Or, add 1-2 tsp of your favorite Rub or Seasoning Mix in place of the salt and pepper.)

Bread Dipper Combine ¼ cup Garlic- or Rosemary-Infused Canola Oil, 2-3 tsp Rub or Seasoning Mix and 1 tbsp fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with crusty French bread or baguette.

Marinades Use Infused Canola Oils and Cherry Balsamic Vinegar in place of the oil and vinegar in your favorite marinades for meats, fish or poultry.

Cherry Balsamic Reduction Place ¼ cup Cherry Balsamic Vinegar in 2-cup Prep Bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 30-60 seconds or until vinegar is thickened and syrupy. Drizzle over fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese or ice cream.

SAVORY SAUCES

Warm Baked Brie Place a 4-in. round (8 oz) Brie with rind in Garlic & Brie Baker. Bake at 400°F for 8-10 minutes or until Brie begins to soften. Remove from oven and pour about ½ cup Spicy Pineapple Rum Sauce or Raspberry Habanero Sauce over warm Brie. Serve with crackers, toasted baguette slices or apple wedges.

Classic Cream Cheese Appetizer Spread Pour about ½ cup Spicy Pineapple Rum Sauce or Raspberry Habanero Sauce over a block of cream cheese. Serve with crackers, pita chips or pretzels.

Finishing Sauce Brush Spicy Pineapple Rum Sauce or Raspberry Habanero Sauce over meats or vegetables during roasting or grilling.
