I agree that it will not be at it's best after freezing but I do it regularly with rice dishes and they are always ok. I know environmental health suggest you shouldn't reheat rice but I do it all the time and i'm fine :)

Hi Pete...new to this forum have peeked on it often but never posted...I tried this recipe tonight and it was delicious...i have a question was i supposed to drain the tin of pineapple?? I did so and the sauce did not thicken, so i was wondering it this was the reason why not? I left it simmering for a good half hour but wasnt thickening so i left it to stand for 5 mins but still no success...:confused: confused much!!!

Thanks for your fab ideas, i lovee cooking but its finding time and food that the Mr wont realise its SW ;)

Hi Laura.
Welcome to the "SW club".
I usually drain the juice and only add it to the food if it gets too dry, sometimes I find that it does thicken better then other times, and I suspect it can be due to the tins of tomatoes, some are very watery, you can add 1Tbsp of tomato puree if you want to, but it doesn't matter as long as it's not runny!
