Freezing gravy?

[Tinkerisdead]

I think I've screwed up. I froze chicken carcasses and today lobbed them in the slow cooker with onion herbs flour etc made a luscious stock/gravy ideal for Xmas. But it just struck me, can I freeze it if the carcasses had been frozen? Is that re-freezing meat? I haven't even got any gravy dinners this week I could use it on.

You can refreeze as its been cooked in between
No different to me freezing mince, defrost to make chilli, then refreezing in portions

The don't refreeze thing is don't take your chicken out to defrost then change your mind and refreeze as freezing doesn't kill bacteria just slows them right down - so preserving them, You don't want to warm the food and bacteria up, let them multiply, then freeze/preserve the increased bug collection.

Impressed by how organised you are!

Ohhh brill thats xmas gravy made now then. Thank you.

PS Sorry about the lecturte, but you never know when it might come up in the pub quiz

How are the HB plans going?

Hb plans? No lecture, that was reassuring info. I reduced it down and froze it. It tasted lovely!

Sorry - baby brain! recognised your name from Nov 08 AN, and then got you confused with ChocO who I was 'talking' to a couple of weeks ago on here, Doh!

Ohhhh weirdly i'm pregnant and so i was thinking hmmmm have i said im having a home birth? Totally threw me as im having an elcs ha ha. Assume your preg too to say 'baby brain' x

Yeah - go for it! HBs are fun! Hoping for 4th in May! How far on are you? Did you have a bad time last itm eto go for the elcs?

I'm due at start of feb. Loads of reasons decided to go for elcs. Last time was three day, back to back, brow presentation, fetal distress. I'm not ashamed to say its scared me witless to even try, feel like i've done my share of shitty labour lol. Dd had bad coluc last time and i felt like i never got back on my feet from labour to cope with her properly. Said to consultant that i know how horrible cs is, recovery is terrible but its still more bareable than the sheer terror i had in labour. I'm near a lovely birth centre so i can transfer in there for post natal recovery. The only tiny thkng that sways me is being away from dd during recovery. So you're on no4?! And im worried about 2!!!

Whereabouts in the midlands are you? as we've recently moved to the Notts/Lincs border

Melton.
