I just cooked and ate a huge beef pot roast. There's loads of the stock left over and I don't want to waste it because it's a lush combination of red wine, beef stock and root veg (onions, celery, carrots). It would make a fab stock for a stew, or even a rich gravy. If I freeze this, how nice is it going to be when defrosted? And if I put it in the fridge, how long will it stay good?

Freeze it & it will be just as lovely when it comes out. You could turn it into French onion soup.In the fridge it should be good for 3/4 days. You can always re boil it & it will last longer.

i would go with the freezer - then it is what you want when you get it out, rather than something you 'should' use. And it sounds much toooooooo good to be a 'should'!! :D

I freeze it with no probs and is always still just as scrumptious!!
-
I have frozen stock in ice cube bags - very handy - or you could do it in normal ice cube trays then bang them out and keep in a zip lock bag
It tastes just as good as when you froze it

I agree, I hate to waste a good drop of stock, and it sounds yummy!
-
Freezer it is then. Thanks, everyone.

Like everyone else, I freeze mine and turn it into a hearty soup. YUMMMM.
