Certain foods freeze better than others. Purées, sauces, soups and most meat and fish dishes generally freeze well, although some dishes containing garlic don’t. Thawed frozen food should not be refrozen unless it has been thoroughly cooked – for example, if you use frozen uncooked meat to make a shepherd’s pie or frozen peas to make a purée. When preparing foods to go in the freezer, cook them thoroughly, cool them down as quickly as possible, then package them for freezing when completely cold. For small babies, freeze purées in sterilised ice-cube trays and, when frozen, knock out the cubes and put them into freezer bags clearly labelled with the contents and the expiry date. Larger containers can be used for older babies and toddlers, but check that they are suitable for the freezer as some containers may shatter below certain temperatures.
