Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Many of these foods lose quality when refrigerated but acutally freeze well. Bake as directed and cool completely, then freeze in an airtight container or wrapper. Before serving, allow them to thaw at room temperature, slightly unwrapped, for 2 to 3 hours. Serve warm or at room temperature. To reheat, wrap them in foil and heat at 350°F. for 10 to 15 minutes or until warmed through. Or, wrap in paper towels and microwave briefly.
