Does anybody manage to successfully defrost oatcakes, and manage to eat them?
Am I missing somethingš¤ I pulled a pack out the freezer this morning, but alas they look like human flesh thatās been in the hot tub for a week. Tried a few different shops as well, but the result is always the sameā¦ what am I doing wrong? Do they need to be doubled bagged in freezer bags or something?

Only fresh off the hotplate for me. Only have them occasionally when back in Stoke. At a guess though I'd just cover them in chayse and over grill em a bit with loads of bacon on.. |

Tbf mate being local I can fill my boots, but sometimes I over purchase and they get binned, tried freezing them but they taste and look like shit. |

I freeze them all the time, let them fully defrost naturally before using them though.

Tbf mate being local I can fill my boots, but sometimes I over purchase and they get binned, tried freezing them but they taste and look like shit. When I've over bought I've used them up using them as wraps for what you'd more traditionally put on a sandwich ie chicken and lettuce and a bit of salad cream etc. Bit weird maybe but I do have odd eating habits. Pretty sure I once put a left over curry in one once. Think it was decent as I recallš¤ Edit. Might have been stoned for that last one š |

Il leave em longer and see if they improve. The shape and texture just look weird to me. Do you use air tight bags or just put the pack in the freezerš¤ |

Do you use air tight bags or just put the pack in the freezerš¤ Before you freeze them separate them with a piece if greaseproof paper. That way you can take them out of the freezer individually and cook from frozen under a grill. |
