Pot Pie

A pot pie is a savory, oven-baked meal typically consisting of a flavorful filling encased in a flaky pastry crust. The filling is often made with diced or shredded meat, vegetables, and a thick, rich sauce. Popular varieties in North America include chicken, turkey, and beef pot pies, while in the UK, steak and kidney pies are more common. Favored for their hearty and comforting quality, pot pies make for a convenient and satisfying one-dish meal. They can be prepared either from scratch or purchased as frozen, pre-made versions requiring only baking before serving.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Pot Pie expire?
Unopened, store-bought frozen pot pies are good for 1-2 years past the 'best by' date printed on the package. Keep in mind that while it may not look or taste as good past this date, it's unlikely to make you ill if stored properly. Once baked or defrosted, you should consume within 2 days if kept in the refrigerator. If you want to store it longer, you can freeze pot pies for up to 4 months. A homemade pot pie should be eaten within 2-3 days if stored in the refrigerator, or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
How do you tell if Pot Pie is bad?
A pot pie that's gone bad will exhibit signs such as a sour smell, a change in colour, mould or dampness on the crust. The texture of the filling may also be off, appearing slimy or excessively runny. When in doubt, it's best to discard the pot pie.
Tips for storing Pot Pie to extend shelf life
• Always ensure your pot pie is properly sealed in airtight packaging before storing in the fridge or freezer. This will help prevent moisture loss and contamination. • If freezing a pot pie that you've baked at home, allow it to cool completely before placing it in the freezer to prevent a soggy crust. • To defrost a frozen pot pie, transfer it to the fridge and allow it to thaw for 24 hours. Alternatively, you can bake it straight from frozen - just add extra cooking time. • If you've only eaten part of a pot pie, cover the cut section with foil to prevent the filling from drying out. • After baking a store-bought frozen pot pie, only reheat the amount you are going to eat immediately. Repeated freezing and thawing can affect the taste and texture and can also increase risk of foodborne illness.
