Does freezing food change taste/texture?

Another thing to consider- a self defrosting freezer (the kind on most refrigerators) will change the texture more than a non self defrosting freezer (like most chest freezers).1

LOL. Rule of thumb: the more water a food has the larger the likelihood it will thaw into mush.2 -
When I get a whole roasted chicken, I eat some fresh and save the rest for adding to a dish. Taste is fine when I've stored it in the freezer until use.
What I like to do is make the sauce, be it spaghetti or curry and then freeze into several three cup containers. When I thaw it, one container is enough for several meals and I'll combine it with fresh or steamed veggies. So I'm trying to say, try add most of the veggies when you are reheating the dish.1 -
You could invest in a food saver, depending on your budget. We do this when we need to meal prep more in advance- seals it in a plastic bag airtight and I find the texture/taste to be enjoyable once thawed or reheated. It's not necessary but might be something to look into if interested.1

Potatoes onions and eggs change texture unforgivably.
I found a way to freeze cheese. I pre-cut it. It crumbles after frozen but if it is pre-cut, who cares?0 -
