| I am in the process of making cabbage rolls. I was told by someone not to cook them before freezing. Is this an option and then when I bring them out of the freezer, how do I cook them |

| You can cook them before freezing if you want to but try cooking them about 20 minutes less time than if you're eating them immediately. Or freeze them uncooked. |

| Mystic - Would you post your recipe for cabbage rolls? Thnx Rusty |
|
| Mystic I prefer to cook mine and then freeze. They can be made and cooked unfrozen but there are some drawbacks. First, all your meat ingredients cannot be "previously" frozen if you are going to refreeze the rolls uncooked you must use fresh meat. The other issue is quantity. You can't effectively cook 2 or 4 cabbage rolls and get the same taste and texture you get by cooking a whole big pan. So if you freeze uncooked you really need to freeze the whole pan which limits your flexibility in using them. If you do choose to freeze uncooked then I think you need to completely, or almost completely, thaw before cooking. If you cook first and then freeze you can package up in quantities that make sense for you and simply thaw and rewarm as needed. I do it all the time..... |
