poachedegg Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Had spaghetti bolognaise tonight, however the bag I got from the freezer was supposed to be steak not bolognaise - to prevent any more surprises can you recommend the best way of labelling freezer bags? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoebe Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 felt tip pen (for freezers) and little labels from lakeland work for me. or biro on bags with white "label" bits on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I usually get the freezer bags with the white panel on them and write on it with biro. Or if its something I have taken out of its enormous amount of packaging and put in a freezer bag (otherwise I wouldn't be able to get everything in) then I cut up the cooking instruction label and put that inside the bag.

Cinnamon Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 You need to use a Sharpie - they work brilliantly on plastic bags & on Lock & Lock too Most newsagents sell them, but make sure its a proper Sharpie, not just a normal marker pen.

poachedegg Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks guys - have just ordered a couple of sharpie markers from ebay. Though I was thinking, the surprise element of not knowing what you're having until its defrosted could be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I once made a lasagne with frozen chilli instead of bolognese sauce. It was tasy if a little strange, unfortunately ED had a friend over for tea to compound the shame I also defrosted some stock to make soup only to find out that it was soup after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Sounds like my kitchen chickencam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
