I never cooked/baked meat. I want to try for this yom tov to make something.

My question is: can meat be frozen after it was cooked/baked and taste good?
Do I prepare it with sauce on top and freeze it like this uncooked?

Do I slice before freezing?
How do I warm it up?

I'm so confused
Pls help me here.

Yes cooked meat freezes very well.

So I bake it with sauce. When it's done, I freeze the whole bekele without slicing it?
How do I warm it up? What degrees how long?

I like to freeze it sliced I feel like each slice soaks up the juices that way. And I usually do low and slow either the oven or crockpot depending on what appliance I am using for yomtov.

What kind of meat are you using? Either way refrigerate it overnight once it’s cooked and slice the next day then return to the pan with sauce and freeze making sure it’s well covered. For something like a chuck roast I would cook low at 325 for 3 hours in a sauce.
