I had rotisserie chicken, olives , chick peas, tomato, cucumbers over baby greens. Italian dressing.
Do you have any tricks and tips to freezing twice baked potatoes?I just put a couple of pork chops in the sous vide. I'll finish them on the Que. We'll have them with twice baked taters (from the freezer) a salad and some garlic toast too. We recently stocked up on pork chops at Costco...and I made a big batch of twice baked taters to make for easy dinners.
I put them in vacuum sealer bags, then in the freezer. I do cook them "twice" before I do that. Then, when I want to use them, I toss them, bag & all, in a bowl of cold water to thaw. After that, it is just a matter of heating them to temp. I do that in the oven, but should try the sous vide sometime? We love twice baked taters...but I enjoy them more when I don't have to fuss with them?Do you have any tricks and tips to freezing twice baked potatoes?
You could try checking for a product review...maybe someone found a better way to cook them?The unfortunate thing, is my wife thought we hit the jackpot, so we bought 4 boxes ( each box has 2 crusts in them). Looks like they're going to make a one way trip to the compost pile.
It's possible, but even tasting the unburnt part ( and even before I cooked it) it just had a flavor that didnt seem like it was going to work. Some people suffer with crappy tasting things to maintain their dietary restrictions. I allow ,myself one or two cheat days a week. I'd rather have the real thing sparingly , than a crappy version of it. Hopefully trader joes will carry them again.You could try checking for a product review...maybe someone found a better way to cook them?
Possibly. Ive eaten a number of these kinds of crusts, and most are not very good. So although possible, my guess is this one is just as bad as most of the others. It was an also significantly thinner than other brands , which also had me initially concerned about the temperature and time to cook it, even before I cooked it. But I figured it must have gone through a bunch of test trials prior to going to market.Do you think the crust was left to thaw and then refroze at the store?
