A Conversation for Planning and Preparing a Christmas Meal
freeze it!
Primord Started conversation Nov 15, 2002
my top tip for Christmas Dinner is make everything in advance-buy everything fresh and organic if possible, cook and freeze.
If you are a meat eater-cook your Turkey/Chicken and Carve (thickish slices are best-then it's up to each diner to knife and fork to their hearts content) and freeze on a large serving dish-when the day comes-either defrost or defrost and carefully reheat-piping hot mind!
Get your vegetables cooked and then freeze seperately in freezer bags-on the day tip into a pot with a splash of water and butter-and get 'em red hot!
Gravy-ditto. either freeze in a bag that is supported in a bowl-or freeze in an ice cube tray-so portions can be popped out (breadsauce and all the other hot saucs work this way)
make sure everything is heat through thoroughly-or spend Christmas in casualty
