Costco Launches New Deli Bbq Platter Just in Time for Summer Cookouts
Q1: Can you freeze the Costco BBQ platter if you do not cook it right away?
A1: Yes. The pulled pork, ribs, and mac and cheese freeze cleanly. Wrap the entire aluminum tray tightly in double layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap to guard against freezer burn. Thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours before baking to ensure even heating.
Q2: Does the BBQ platter come fully cooked in the deli case?
A2: Yes, all meat and pasta components inside the container are fully cooked before packaging. The home heating process serves exclusively to bring the food up to serving temperature and crisp the surface textures.
Q3: How many people does one tray legitimately feed?
A3: The tray reliably yields 4 generous adult portions or 6 moderate servings. If serving a larger group, supplement the meal with a bag of Costco hamburger buns, pickles, and a fresh garden salad to stretch the meat further.
