What is 'blast freezing'?
A Blast Freezer freezes fresh or partly cooked food much faster than an ordinary home freezer, locking in the key qualities and nutrients of the food. So that after defrosting, the food appears like it was never frozen, and the taste, texture, colour and overall look are uncompromised.
Let's get technical...
When you freeze food (or anything else for that matter) the water inside crystallises into ice. The longer the freezing process takes, the larger the ice crystals. In a Blast freezer, the temp of the food is lowered to -20 degrees celsius in just 4 hours, as opposed to taking 10-72 hours in a normal freezer.
Rapid freezing causes the crystals formed to be very small, which does less damage and preserves food at a higher quality.
Aside from the integrity, quality and taste of the food, blast freezing also offers a health and safety benefit in that extreme cold slows down the growth of bacteria so that there is a greatly reduced risk of contamination.
Finally, a blast freezer allows you to put the food into it when freshly cooked and still hot (with a normal freezer, you need to cool it down first) and this alleviates any sourness that may develop.

"Such delicious meals. Each meal was filled with flavor and that’s saying a lot given how generous the portions were! It was also all so beautifully presented. Everything from online ordering to delivery to mealtime prep was seamless."
Daphne O
"The lasagne is to die for! The portions are generous and I will definitely order more meals."
Myrna P
"The GG meals are an absolute win! The special freezing method used locks in the freshness, taste and colour and the variety enables me to plan balanced, delicious meals. It's been great treating ourselves to `home dining', especially during lockdown and those evenings when you just don't feel like cooking or need a change...I'm hooked!"
Fiona H
"Real thought and cooking know-how has gone in to all of these dishes. So much frozen food is bland but Goodness Gracious meals are properly delicious and full of flavour. Slick website, very easy to order, quick turnarounds and brilliant, caring customer service. Highly recommended!"
