Pitch or keep

Abrowneyegirl — Fri, 14 Apr 2017 15:06:35 GMT

I bought frozen crossiants from the Q at least 1 year ago maybe close to 2 years. The ones that come flat, frozen and they puff up when you bake them.

I packed them in small batches in freezer bags and put the freezer bags in lock and lock containers.

Pitch or keep?

They are safe to eat but might have a freezer taste. I would bake one and see if its good. If it has an off taste I would pitch.

When in doubt, throw them out.

@Abrowneyegirl - I have some of those in my freezer, too! I took some out about a month ago and they puffed up just fine and tasted good. I plan to eat mine. I don't think there's anything that would harm you, if you wanted to do the same.

Things that are kept frozen are generally safe; as long as they haven't been allowed to thaw and then refreeze. The taste may not be as good and will deteriorate over time, but that's all.

I don't know if you're a Sam's Club customer but our local store has gotten in pretty much the same thing: small, frozen croissants made in France, but it's like 40 small croissants for something like $13.98. I'm going to try those next.

Food in a freezer does not become unsafe to eat no matter how long it it is in there. Sometimes, ice crystals form and the quality is not the same.

i would bake one and taste it. If it tastes okay, all is well. The only thing that could be wrong is the quality of the product could be diminished.

They guarantee top quality for a year. Nothing says they go bad. Bake a batch and if they aren't good. Then pitch them.

The only thing I wouldn't use past a year is seafood.

Bake one and see if they are worth keeping.

Bake a couple, and let your taste buds decide😋🤢

I thought I heard them say that you could freeze them for one year. I would pitch them but first call CS and see if they have any different info.

OP here!

So I baked off 6 today, they all baked as normal, beautiful and golden.

After I took them out of the oven 3 of them deflated the other 3 were perfect. (but I always had problems with some deflating if I removed too soon)

Taste: the 3 that looked fine, tasted fine, great texture no freezer burn or off taste

I'd bake one off and taste it and then decide.

There's nothing in a frozen croissant that will make you sick. It just might not taste good.
