Can you make Zürcher Geschnetzeltes in an air fryer? — Sometimes

Can you freeze Zürcher Geschnetzeltes? — Yes
Yes — it freezes well. Cool it fully, portion into airtight containers, and it keeps a few months; thaw in the fridge and reheat gently.

The components hold — prep the parts ahead and finish it close to serving for the best texture.
