Can cooked frozen meats defrosted be refrozen?
Defrosted raw meat can be refrozen and cooked later, but the quality of the meat will be notably reduced. If the meat has been at room temperature for more than an hour or so, bacterial growth may have been substantial, and then the refrozen meat may not be safe to eat later, even after being cooked. The best way to deal with defrosted meat that is not needed immediately is to cook it and THEN freeze it for future use. In theory you can defrost and freeze meat as many times as you want as long as you cook the hell out of it before eating. Each time you do it, more bacteria grow inside it, but the heat of cooking will kill them. However, the palatability of the meat decreases with each cycle and quickly renders the food inedibal except by the very hungry.
