Freezing sandwiches, I have not experience freezing sandwiches. I prefer to prepare it now and eat now. Maybe you can use peanut butter as they will not turn bad under any condition.

Hi ya Anne18
Hmm I have never thought about freezing sandwiches before and that would be really handy for me on a Thursday when I have 3 packed lunches to make before school! I would love to be able to just throw everything in that would be great and a huge time saver!! Sorry I have no suggestions but I will keep an eye on your discussion to see what else everybody else comes up with!

When I lived on my own, many years ago I used to buy a loaf of bread and make up sandwiches of cheese and ham and then freeze them.
There was a lady who used to freeze loads of sandwiches but for the life of me can't remeber what she used to freeze....
I know just cheese and ham are ok on there own.... perhaps I'll just freze a few of those for emgenmcey lunch boxes

Hi Anne, I had no idea that you could freeze sandwiches. It is something I have never considered doing. I do freeze extra loaves of bread though. I would go with cooked bacon and cheese as these can freeze and won't be soggy when defrosting if I were too. Huggles. Ellie :D

Actually this will be a bit of a challenge Anne! For the best freezing effect to take place you need to focus on ingredients with a high fluid content; but then the bread ends up soggy and when the sandwich defrosts it won't be very enjoyable at all. Maybe you can look at things like tuna with mayonnaise, cucumber slices, tomato and other similar things? My advice would be to scrape the seeds out of the tomato slices and use a piece of absorbent paper to take as much moisture as possible out of the cucumber though because they will end up saturating the bread otherwise. Ham, pressed chicken and other sliced meats could be a tuna replacement too. Cheese will freeze well also so could be included easily. If you are able to vaccuum seal bags before freezing them this will help as well; but if you can't, then you will need to wrap the sandwiches as tightly as possible. Good luck!

I have no idea what you can put into a sandwich that will freeze and not become soggy when thawed out. One of the great joys of sandwiches -- my favorite food -- is the assembly. I really enjoy selecting the stuff to go between the two pieces of bread. Each one is a work of art to be enjoyed to the fullest. I don't think I'd want to make or eat a frozen sandwich.

My suggestion would be to do meatloaf sanwiches on rolls. I think that rolls tend to freeze more nicely than do slices of bread, but that may just be my perception.
Turkey (real, not deli slices) or chicken (again, not the deli slices) and cheese should also freeze well.
