Very stupid question re doughnuts!

My daughter used to work in a supermarket and I was surprised to learn that the donuts came cooked and frozen, the staff just had to leave them to defrost the night before and then bag them in the morning, it is the same for a lot of the pastries and also some of the breads

250 calories is not that many for a teatime treat. Most cakes would be more than that.

Obviously, don’t eat two!

I've been freezing them for years. Defrost on the defrost setting, turning over after about 10 seconds. If you overdo it the jam will ooze out. Shouldn't do for more than about 20 seconds, then leave for about 5-10 mins to carry on defrosting after removing from microwave. Be careful of hot jam!

I love anything with carbs! trying to cut the bad ones now to lower blood sugar.

I love doughnuts. In fact, I never met a cake I didn’t like.
No food should EVER be forbidden - the only forbidden part is the vast quantities I would like to consume!

grandtanteJE65 if meat & fish has been frozen then cooked it can be frozen again safely, just make sure you reheat correctly, I've been doing it for years & I'm still here to tell the tale. Why would you freeze eggs? Freeze cream, haha never lasts long enough to reach the freezer in my house

We always had our doughnuts warmed in the oven - crispy on the outside and so yummy! My Mum usually overdid it and the jam was like molten lava so take care!

I must be fortunate as I don’t like doughnuts even the smell of them cooking in the supermarkets makes me feel queasy.

I used to like the doughnuts we had from the “proper” bakers, but our supermarket rolls theirs in icing sugar, which just isn’t the same. Probably just as well....!!

Sadly, I have no willpower where cake is concerned

Meat, fish, eggs, cream should not be re-frozen for health reasons, but baked goods will do you no harm frozen, that you wouldn't suffer just from eating them fresh.

If you have the will-power not to hear them calling you from the freezer, just go ahead and freeze them.

When my children were little I had a Swiss roll in the freezer waiting for a trifle at the weekend, but they fancied some cake, so I took it out. They didn't want to wait for it to defrost so I sliced it to speed up the process. Oh it certainly speeded up the process all right - they ate it frozen and so began their lifelong love of frozen Swiss roll

I have seen them in Iceland but I have never tried them.

Tesco reduce their cakes to pennies at the end of the day and I freeze everything then I warm them in the microwave- yummy, especially custard doughnuts. I also freeze crusty bread which is just as nice when you defrost it.

Doughnuts actually have all the ingredients which make them addictive and act on the brain and pleasure centres. Sugar, fat and carbs. I wouldn’t dare buy a pack as I know I would eat the whole lot, fresh or frozen! They are the crack equivalent in food form!!?

stand outside the supermarket and give four away ill be there in a minute (smile)

I don't like doughnuts either. Too greasy! Now chocolate ....!

Yes and if you put them in the microwave they taste like freshly made - the outside is warm but be very careful jam is red hot - enjoy.

So, absolutely fine to freeze once cooked then.
(because if they were cooked instore from frozen it means the raw dough was frozen, not the finished product. )
And in fact people get their knickers in a twist quite unnecessarily about freezing things twice -- it generally means that there might be some loss of texture or flavour, but that's all -- in the case of bakery goods, anyway.
Raw fish -- not such a good idea, but IME doughnuts emerge from the freezer rather well, even ones glazed ones. Go for it.

Fresh from tbe store bakery means frozen, shipped then cooked/heated/ baked in store.

I'm the same as maryhoffman and actually don't like doughnuts so am never tempted. Find them too sweet. Now dark chocolate, that's another matter and altogether!

I really don't like doughnuts! I hate the claggy feeling on my palate. It's the crisps and nuts and all other savoury nibbles that are my downfall.

Donuts are calorie free.....everybody knows that!
The only ones I like are the ring type with slivers of sugar on top.
Although, I have been known to demolish the squidgy type with jam in the middle, and they have no calories either, in fact they are good for you.
One a day keeps the doctor away.

Thank you Nellie, I was just remembering the frozen ones I used to buy and feeling tempted! DH bought a French stick for lunch today and it had the calories on the side. I hadn’t noticed that before and it shocked me. I seemed to have consumed 500 calories just in French stick without the butter, cheese and jam!

Mmm. (Not Mum!)

Mum. 250 calories. I find myself working out how many donuts I could eat in a day. If I didn’t eat anything else, could I eat them and gain no weight....?
