if meat was frozen, defrosted then cooked..can it be frozen again??

[stretchmark]

hello as above really! I want to start batch cooking meals for my one year old (spag bol, cottage pie, chicken stews etc) can this only be done with fresh ingredients or can i use the meat already in my freezer?

Thank you

yes it can.. bacteria grows in warm condtions... so when you defrost the first time it can grow

proper cooking kills this bacteria so its then safe to refreeze

you just cant defrost and then refreeze immedialtely as you mya be freezing the bacteria in the meat

oh thank god for that! I have a whole freezer full of chicken portions!! lol Thank you, I didnt want to risk it..especially as its me that has to change his nappies if he got poorly!!

Yep, do it all the time.
