Anything that is poorly wrapped will get freezer burn.

Cooked potatoes in any form turn to mush when frozen.

Chopped meat, packaged properly, can be frozen.

Most foods have a shelf life of only a few days in the refrigerator.

No food will be happy if put in the fridge as is, which I assume means unwrapped or uncontained.

I like Red Baron frozen pizza from the grocery store.

Not sure if that answers the question.

If you are talking about leftover pizza, I would ask, “Leftover pizza? What is that!”

As cheap as fast food is, if you haven’t eaten it the day you bought it, throw it out. None of it is good frozen and reheated. Actually, I haven’t found anything except pizza that is even good just reheated the next day.

Pizza can be made to work. Just be sure to zip lock it with very little air in the bag so it doesn’t get frizzer burn. And reheat it till the cheese remelts. Frizzers do weird things to the texture of cheese.

Depending on what’s in them, sandwiches from Subway or Quiznos can be fine defrosted so long as they are well protected from drying out.

Absolutely not Taco Bell tacos that have been in the refrigerator a couple days.

Meats and sauces and carbohydrates/breads/grains will do okay if sealed and frozen, and then reheated in an oven (not a microwave) to crisp up. A microwave won’t crisp it up.

Dairy products like cheese and sour cream won’t freeze and reheat well. And fresh vegetables like chopped lettuce or diced tomatoes won’t work well either.

A shake put into an airtight container

@zenvelo You can freeze tomatoes just fine so long as you plan to use them in cooking.

Oh wait the correct answer is always the condiments. Ever been to a bachlor pad that condiments and alcohol in it? Every now and again they would have the odd spork and napkin combo just in case you came bearing food but didn’t actually plan on eating it with your hands.
