Can you freeze pork stew?

Yes! This recipe freezes beautifully, giving you a wonderful comforting meal at the ready. Just reheat and eat.

How to freeze leftovers

If frozen properly, slow cooked meals will keep for up to 3 months. There is usually a large quantity of liquid, so transfer the meat and vegetables to appropriate-sized freezer-friendly containers, then pour in enough of the liquid to cover the meat etc.

Leave a 2.5cm space between the food and the lid to allow for expansion, then seal, label and date the container before placing in the freezer.

Can I use a different size slow cooker for this recipe?

We tested this satay pork stew using a 5-litre (20-cup) slow cooker. If you have a smaller or larger cooker you will have to decrease or increase the quantity of food, and almost certainly the liquid content.
