Can you defrost, cook and then re-freeze?

[Gillian76]

I am making bolognese sauce with defrosted mince (frozen on day of purchase). It will inevitably be too much to be consumed in one sitting, so can I freeze half for next week? Or will I kill them all??? :o

[alliebaba]

i wouldn't.. think if you cooked it with fresh mince you could

[SorenLorensen]

You're cooking with defrosted raw mince and you want to freeze the end product? I do that all the time and we're not dead. So long as when you eat the frozen bolognese you make sure it's really thoroughly heated you'll be fine.

[alliebaba]

i'll try it then! if my family die can i sue?

[Gillian76]

Exactly SorenLorensen. OK will do it!

if you freeze raw meat, defrost it and cook it, you can then freeze the cooked meat safely.

Yeah, I think that would be fine too, as long as the mice was well cooked/heated afer each freeze.

[Aimsmum]

Or even the mince If you feed them mice, you may well kill them!!

[alliebaba]
