A lot of people who hunt their own venison will get it in fresh/frozen(depends if it is really cold outside) and in turn we put it in the cooler to thaw. You then cut it and freeze it. Many months later people will bring in left-over meet to be put into sausages. You then must thaw it and work it into the grinder and freeze it again. Then to actually eat it you have to thaw it again to cook it.
Think about it...if the meat smells bad and looks green(I don't know of any green eggs and ham to be in existence) don't eat haha. That's the general rule of life isn't
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 loss of quality much greater, so be aware that refrozen meat (cooked or raw) will be of lower quality than once frozen meat. Also remember that freezing does not kill off the bacteria, so bacterial growth will pick up again once thawed.
It may be better to freeze the thawed meat after it has been cooked. Refreezing meat isn't a good idea. But if you must, the meat should not have been old the first time it was frozen, it should have been thawed under refrigeration and then frozen again shortly after being thawed. Realize that the quality of the meat will be negatively affected. The flavor will likely degrade and the meat will be drier and tougher when cooked.
You should be able to freeze it at least 2 months maybe longer.
Yes! According to the deer processors, FDA and USDA you can as it does not spoil the way beef does.
Yes, it is possible to refreeze moose meat, but first make sure that it isn't spoiled already.have no clue actually.
It depends. If you continue to thaw and freeze it could be bad . But if you accidently thaw it and you want to refreeze it, you should be okay.
no
Cooked brisket should not be unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. At that point, it should be re-heated or refrigerated.
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.
deer meat and more
If the meat stays below room temperature (for instance, if you have thawed it in the refrigerator) and it is quickly put back into the freezer, you can refreeze the meat with little effect on the texture and flavor of the meat. If the meat has been thawed for a day or more, or gets warmer than refrigerator temperature, it is best to cook it and then refreeze.
YES it does in a way. Actually it becomes more "bioavailable." That is, cooked meat provides more protein that your body can absorb than uncooked meat.
The reason ground meat must be cooked to a higher temperature than whole cuts of meat is because ground meat is because ground meat is handled more than whole cuts of meat. More handling means that there is more opportunity for bacteria to get into the meat.
Traditionally cooked with horse meat. Now more commonly cooked with beef.
they give us meat an mates to give us even more and more meat
frozen meat has more bacteria as it is in the freezer with lots of other food
The difference varies from meat to meat. The fattier the meat, the more it is likely to lose. And the wellness the meat is cooked to will also affect the weight loss. The method of cooking is still another factor.
Yes, of course you can if it has been handled sensibly. The safety will depend on proper handling. See a USDA or agricultural extension service site for proper food handling instructions. The quality will suffer. it will tend to dryness more after the second thawing and will benefit from a brine soak and marinade before roasting. If you can use it in a sauce you will have better results.
Paw paw has a natural enzyme that makes meat more tender. It does this by breaking down some of the connective tissues in the meat.
