Yes any type of meat can be frozen, but that isn't healthy just put it in the refrigerator to keep it cool and from rotting.

If you can't use the meat straight away, it's better and safer to freeze it than to keep it for more than a day or so in the fridge.

Meat, frozen raw or cooked, is perfectly healthy provided it's handled correctly. Hot food should be allowed to cool and then packed into a freezer bag or other container and sealed properly.

Raw meat should go straight into the freezer right after you buy it, again in a properly-sealed container.

Ideally the pack should be labelled with the date you need to use it by.

Certainly; as you cook it, the pork will thaw first, and then cook normally. The tricky part would be to cut it while it is frozen. But if you want to cook it first and cut it up afterwards, no problem.

Meats freeze and keep well in the freezer. You can store them over a year if kept frozen. Freezing is the best way to preserve foods.

Cooked pork should be good refrigerated 3 to 4 days. If you want to keep it longer, you should freeze it.

There are specially prepared pork joints that can be cooked from frozen however if the pork joint is not one of these then the pork should not be cooked from frozen as it is too high risk of not being cooked properly or reaching high enough temperatures to kill food poisoning bacteria. Pork is best to be thawed in the fridge over a 48 hour period. Alternatively, you can defrost in the microwave.
