I used to use the zip lock bags but found they leaked if I recycled them - perhaps I'll give them another go and not recycle them this time, they are certainly more space efficient than the plastic tubs, etc. which I am using now.

Bought some of those aluminium trays with lids yesterday. This weekend I will make some lasagna and freeze.

Found this for you Uni
The user says "I freeze lemon curd, and it defrosts just fine. i press a layer of plastic wrap onto the surface of the curd to keep it from getting icy."
Hope this helps

For years and years prior to my TM I used to make giant batches of cookie dough and freeze. Now that the TM won't handle the quanity and I no longer have a stand mixer I now make smaller batches and cook them first and then freeze, this for me works much better as you can take out  just what you need, ( great when you get unexpected guest ) they take minutes to thaw and many varieties can be eaten frozen.
