I've been cooking and freezing meals like crazy - we're adopting our first baby (due today!) and I want to have the freezer packed with nutritious meals.

Last night I made 3 small lasagnas (CL hearty lasagna) in 8x8 foil pans. (Assembled but not baked.) I double wrapped them in foil before freezing. Today I am questioning if that was a good thing...will the tomato sauce interact with foil and "eat away" the foil? Should I take them out today and wrap in plastic wrap?

Sorry if this has been discussed before...I did search a bunch of threads on freezing but I perhaps wasn't searching smart since I have "baby brain". :rolleyes: :D

Any help is greatly appreciated. TIA!

I don't think it will be a problem. I don't know how fast the tomatoes would react with the foil if they were in the fridge (my only experience with that was with barbecue sauce that was in a stainless steel bowl for a REALLY long time)...but I think any such reaction would be slowed down so much by freezing that it wouldn't be a problem.

I've frozen unbaked lasagna many times. When I know I'm making one to freeze, I always use the foil lasagna pans, and wrap it in heavy-duty foil. Never had a problem.

How exciting - best of luck to you and your new addition! :)

Is it better to freeze the lasagna before or after baking?
