Mince in freezer from November - still OK?

[Toots]

Found 4 month old mince, 'of' from a 'bogof' in snow drift at back. Is big star plus three further stars compartment.

Eat or chuck? (shag or die )

I'd use it

I'd use it too.

I'd use it - unless there was really obvious signs of freezer burn or was all dried out on defrost.

LGJ, have favourited that - handy!

Should be ok for 6 months in the freezer, ive used mince thats been in the freezer longer.
Use it, it will be fine.

Ooh, top notch. I DO know what we're having for dinner tomorrow then. Thanks everyone.

Freezer burn though - what does it look like?

You'll know it when you see it, it's a different colour in places, lines like cracks in it and very dried out and unappetising on thawing. Think it has to be in there a fair while to get like that though!

Cheers Georgina.

what's wrong with freezer-burned meat? it tastes (almsot) the same when cooked.

shag

thanks Feisty!
