Can I freeze slow cooked pulled meats? (and any good slow cooked meat recipes?)

GalaxyRyder

I did the slow cook thing on about 1.5 kgs of brisket.

It tasted good, but there's no way I can eat all this, even over a couple days.

Is it possible/recommended to freeze already-cooked meats?

I cooked it yesterday and put it in the fridge, but I'll be about a week trying to finish it all.

PS - just to fill out this thread cause it's apparently quite a cut and dry answer, I cooked the meat with a bunch of chopped onion, garlic, tinned tomato and beef broth in a pressure cooker.

I think I could do without the tomato next time. I also seasoned it before cooking.

Is this the best way or any other superior recipes? I was going for just a nice pulled meat I can serve on the side with my veg dishes and some carb portions (potato/rice/pasta).

Yep

Yes. Cool before freezing, and portion it out appropriately.

Use airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. Remove as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.

Label and date. Should be good for 3 months.

Would a tin foil wrap be adequate I wonder?

I normally freeze uncooked fish like that.

I've no idea tbh, I've never used tin foil in the freezer for some reason…

Tinfoil is never going to give you an airtight seal, so no, I wouldn't use it. You're going to get freezer burn.
