If I defrost and cook meat and I refreeze?

I didn't think so but recently a friend said that she heard you can do this.

Thanks

Yes. Providing that you change it, by cooking it, you can.

Yes, absolutely fine as long as cooked through, chilled and frozen quick and reheated thoroughly. I do it loads with beef mince, stewing beef etc, would be a bit wary of chicken or pork as it may dry out too easily.

Yes, if you roast a chicken, freeze some leftovers, then you can defrost and turn it into a curry and eat safely once thoroughly cooked.

Yes it's fine to defrost, cook and then freeze.

Here you go.

Thanks everyone. That's opened up a whole load of easy meals for me!

Well, I've been doing it for years, my mum before that and she is a microbiologist who has also worked in the food industry...it is perfectly okay.
