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.
