Freezing/Defrosting Food?

[di]

i never cook for just myself so batch cooking means i've always got microwave dinners ready any time i need them - i rarely get to plan ahead so rarely know if it's just me, or me and my son, or if he's bringing half a dozen mates round for dinner ....

i freeze batches in plastic tubs - i leave them in the tub and defrost in the microwave - then i nuke them - all worked fine so far ........

i never bother labelling the tubs - easy enough to open the lid and see whats inside

I'm not too god with the labelling either!Had mates round for curry the other night & I thought I'd got some pumpkin curry out~once defrosted turned out to be tomato sauce!!~As we were out all day I had an hour to get my veggie curry cooked from scratch~we ate later than planned!!
