If chop meat was frozen then cooked can it be refrozen?

Raw meat, whether venison or beef or any other type, can be frozen once. If frozen raw meat is thawed, it should be cooked and eaten, or cooked and refrozen. Once cooked venison is thawed it should not be refrozen.

Yes. Meat can be refrozen after cooking.

Anything can be refrozen. Actually no, not everything can be refrozen. Cooked beef can be refrozen, fully cooked, tightly wrapped, and for not more than a month. Uncooked meat can be refrozen if it does not reach room temperature, it must still be very cold or partly frozen.

NO meat products should be refrozen , once thawed it should be cooked immediately, then it may be refrozen , as long as when it was frozen the first time it stayed frozen for not much longer than 6 months. This is the recommended time limit for most frozen meat products.

All meat can be defrosted and then refrozen. It is safe to eat, but will not be as tasty and juicy if meat had not been frozen. This is not a safety issue but a culinary one.

Yes, this can be done. Place cooked meat in an air tight container before freezing. Freezer bags can be used.

Once cooked thoroughly, most meat of this type does not seem flavorful if re-frozen.

Frozen food like meats at a deli are frozen, thawed and refrozen sometimes several times. The meat goes to slaughter, slaughtered, then frozen. The meat then travels to the meat market or deli, unfrozen, cut up into whatever slices of meat they wish to sell, then some is placed in the display and some is refrozen. You purchase the meat from the display and take it home and freeze it.

No, frozen is frozen. But you can refreeze something that has been thawed. You can refreeze thawed meat long as there are still ice crystals on it. Once completely thawed then you need to cook it first then refreeze. This applies to solid pieces only, ground meat once more than half thawed needs to be cooked first then refrozen always.

You don't. All meat you cook should be thawed, and a thawed pork chop, depending on the thickness should be cooked to 155 degrees Fahrenheit.

Yes, it can be refrozen. If it is cooked. Refreezing raw meats can change the flavor of the meat.

Once frozen, meat should not be refrozen without being cooked first. So if you have thawed 2 pounds of ground beef and then you bake a meatloaf with it, then you can re-freeze the meatloaf. But don't re-freeze the raw hamburger.

If you would want to cook it again, then no! If you freeze meat after it has been cooked then there is a very small chance of there being a parasite within the meat that could harm you. If you have frozen it twice there could be a higher chance of you getting ringworm or tapeworm or if it is chicken then you could get salmonella. If you have already done this, if you experience…

The meat arrives raw and frozen and is cooked via broiler from that frozen state.

Cooked frozen meat should be good for years. However, it will lose quality the longer it is frozen and may get freezer burn.

It can, but if you're asking would it be okay, the answer is no. When I researched this question, I got a different answer. Meat defrosted in the refrigerator can be re-frozen without cooking, although some quality may be lost. The USDA recommends that meat defrosted by other methods be cooked before refreezing.

No, definitely and absolutely not! It's a recipe for food poisoning. If frozen meat has thawed you can freeze it again AFTER it has been properly cooked. When the cooked meat is thawed, it must not be frozen again. It is just too risky.

If it's been frozen previously and thawed but not cooked you can only refreeze it if it's been maintained at proper temperature in between (40F or below). It must be wrapped well and as much air as possible expelled so it won't develop freezer burn. If the meat has been cooked it can also be refrozen following the same guidelines.

Yes, provided it is thoroughly cooked.

yes but make sure to cook the meat

frozen meat has more bacteria as it is in the freezer with lots of other food

Frozen food defrosted or thawed in the refrigerator may be refrozen. However, the bacteria in food can multiply even at low temperatures. Refrigerating food will not stop bacterial growth: just slow it. So do not refreeze food that has be defrosted for some time even if it has been refrigerated the whole time. Freezing meat will cause a loss of quality as the ice crystals break cell walls. Freezing, defrosting and refreezing will make this…

Yes. you can froze any meat once it has been cooked.

Putting meat through a cook-freeze-thaw-reheat-refreeze cycle isn't generally going to result in a quality product and could present some food safety issues. The only situation where this might work might be with cooked ground beef used in a sauce or chili - if all sanitation precautions are followed.

No it is not recommended on food safety grounds. Unused cooked defrosted meat should be binned after three to four days.

No, it isn't safe to refreeze meat, including venison. However, you can cook it and then freeze it.

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…

a pork chop is a little chunk of pig meat that is cooked and served plain, with ketchup or as I prefer with BQ sauce! = )

Once the raw meat has been cooked, cool quickly, and then freeze. If the cooked meat has been previously frozen, then don't refreeze.

no the bacteria in them will cause food poisoning and make you sick Yes, but only if you have cooked them well, package them well and put them directly into the freezer after cooking and they have cooled down. Any meat that has been cooked can be refrozen, but you CAN'T take raw frozen meat out and then thaw it and put the extra raw meat back into the freezer. Cook and freeze! If the…

if the meat was frozen before the expiration date then yes it's perfectly fine to cook and eat :)

No, the marination process will have allowed time for bacteria at grow, the meat should be cooked before being frozen or frozen before the marination process.

NO WAY!!!!!!!!! === Additional Information === No meat should ever be re-frozen without first being cooked. If you don't cook it before freezing it again, you're going to get food poisoning from the bacteria that grew on it from the time it started thawing until it froze again. Cooking it kills all that bacteria.

Most cooked meats last well about 4-7 days when refrigerated. Cured or processed meats, those treated with preservatives (salt, nitrates and phosphates) usually last 6-12 months. For cooked liver, I would keep it no longer than 4 days, liverwurst (once cut) about 1 month. Uncooked meats, if previously frozen, last only a few days after thawing, yet fresh cuts of meat [never frozen] can last about a month, if refrigerated and packaged properly. Cooked meats…

Yes, if it is still partially frozen it can be refrozen. Just be sure to wrap it in air tight wrapping, such as freezer paper, heavy duly alimunim foil or freezer bags.

Chop suey is an Americanized Chinese dish. This meal is made of meat, cabbage, eggs, vegetables, bean sprouts and is cooked in a sauce.

Yes. Just make certain that the meat is cooked thoroughly in your soup.

No! That's how you get bacteria! If you took food out to thaw, then decided you didnt need it, cook it up, then refreeze the COOKED portions!

Hamburger should be thawed under refrigeration, not on the counter. Or it can be thawed in the microwave, then immediately cooked. If you are referring to frozen hamburger patties, those can be cooked from frozen without thawing.

you can, but you're putting yourself in serious risk of food poisoning.not recommended If the meat was originally very fresh when frozen, had been thawed properly under refrigeration and then refrozen shortly thereafter, illness would not be likely. The major concern would be that the quality of the meat would be negatively affected. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles make food less palatable.

That depends on if the meat is cooked or raw. Meats that are cooked will last longer than raw meat. About 4 to five days for cooked meats. Raw meats should be frozen if not used within a day or two.

Yes, it can be frozen. Cooked meat is best stored in the freezer. Place the food in an airtight container or freezer bags and freeze.

Yes. Frozen meat has water inside of it contained in the cells of the meat. When you cook it that water is forced out as juice and some is lost in cooking evaporation and what spills out on your plate.

Yes, you can freeze meat, defrost and cook it. Once it is cooked, it can be frozen again.

You can, but it isn't reccomended because it is not healthy.

Yes you can, but it will take longer to cook as the meat is frozen.

If the meat reached room temperature or close to it, I wouldn't recommend it. The bacteria in meat that are cause for concern are toxic in and of themselves. This means that even though you cooked the meat and killed the bacteria, all their little poison bits are still in the meat. If the meat just thawed in the fridge, I'm pretty sure that's okay.

If you don't notice any funny smells or discoloration prior to cooking the meat, probably nothing. Thawing, storing, then freezing meat multiple times is a great way to not only ruin the flavor of the meat, but to keep bad, rancid, or dangerous meat around longer than you need to. In my experience, perfectly OK meat that has been thawed, then stored in a fridge for a day, and then frozen again almost always is…

Meat can be frozen indefinitely and still be safe to eat. The quality of frozen meat will decrease with time, so will be better if cooked sooner than 6 months to a year.
