  • Hints for warming frozen cooked appetizers: I do a ton of appetizers for a very large (100+) Annual Christmas Family open house, by myself.. make and serve! I found most appetizers can be made, cooked and frozen for later use..
  • Preheat oven to 425…Place items on parchment paper covered sheet pans……Defrost (or not) in refrigerator overnight,, most items, depending on size will be hot in 10+ minutes…..buffalo wings/sauce after hot, pastry bites, puff pastry tarts, small crab cakes, pigs in a blanket, stuffed mushrooms, mini quiches
  • (Battered chix strips. I put 12 to 16 in a quart ziplock…open top…zap on high in micro for 60 to 90) seconds.)
  • Skewers..chix, beef, shrimp…thread, season, freeze..baste with butter or sauce of your choice before baking/broiling.
  • Everything, of course, is faster if defrosted. I cook, everything I make ahead, a minute or more less than completely done as it finishes browning in oven when reheating!
  • Check frozen appetizers in supermarkets or online for times they suggest for similar items as a guide.
