    • Freezing and defrosting guidelines

      Please note that only the marinated pork is suitable for freezing, and in order to enjoy optimum flavour and quality, frozen items are best used within 3 months of their freezing date. Always defrost and heat thoroughly before eating. For more tips on freezing and defrosting food, read our article Love Your Freezer.

    • Tip

      If using wooden skewers be sure to soak them in cold water for 15 minutes to prevent them burning during cooking.
