You should cool food down at least to room temp before freezing.The faster you cool cooked food the less likely bacteria will have to form on it. Putting it in an ice bath is the correct way to cool food before refrigerating or freezing it.

When making chicken stock if boiled for 4-6 hours then left to cool but then was forgotten about for one day can or should you re boil before cooling and freezing immediately?

Not a great idea - any meat stock is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, so should be refridgerated immediatly after you have made it. Even after boiling it up, it isn't worth the risk since they type of foodpoisoning you could get would be really grim.

How should I store uncooked chicken?

Robin's Expert Answer gives excellent advice. Make sure the raw chicken is not stored where it can drip on any other food items. Chicken should be stored as stated in a temperature of between 1 and 5 degrees C for best results. When purchasing it should be transported in a chilled environment i.e either in a shoppers cool bag or with chilled /frozen foods with it - The basic out of chilled envionment time is about 30 minutes. Once cooked it can again be stored (in a sealed container) in the same chilled temperature for 3 to 5 days. Freezing will keep the chicken for 9 to 12 months as a whole uncooked meat.

Cover the chicken with cold water, bring it to a boil and then lower the heat to a bare simmer. When there is no more pink in the meat near the bone, it's done. For a whole chicken that could take up to an hour.


What did the salt do to the water to make it freeze slower?

Adding salt to water will lower the freezing point, thus requiring the salt water to get colder before it will freeze - it thus takes longer to freeze because it takes additional time to cool from the normal freezing point on down to the new (colder) freezing point.
