Can you refreeze calf's liver after thawing?

Should cooked meat be above raw meat?
The rule is that the meat that needs to be cooked to a higher temperature should be on the bottom. If chicken were stored above beef and the chicken leaked onto the beef, the beef might not be cooked to temperatures high enough to kill bacteria normally found in chicken.
Generally, though, you don't want to store seafood where it can leak onto other meat. After all, you don't want your steaks to smell or taste of fish!

How long can a cooked refrigerated turkey stay on carcass?
Meats are kept better in the freezer. Meats can be kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days if raw and 1 to 2 days longer if cooked. Always place cooked meats in an airtight container. Once you have cooked the turkey, it is best to remove the meat from the bones prior to putting it away in the refrigerator. Not only does it take up less space, but the flavor of the meat stays better than when left on the bones.
To make broth or soup, I don't delay. For best flavor, I immediately stew the bones. A crock pot works great for that. I can throw everything in the crock pot at night and its ready to work with in the morning.

How long will jelly stay good in sealed jar?
I would say about a week. I wouldn't cut it too close though... always want to be on the safe side. Usually after the Best Buy date you could keep it for about a week longer. BEST BUY only means that that is when it would be most enjoyable to the consumer not that it will go bad at that time.
Best By dates are a suggestion, if the food has been properly stored and not been exposed to extreme temperatures (which can effect the seal) while "on the shelf" it is fine to use as long as it doesn't smell off or have an odd taste. According to the USDA site, the quality of the flavor or color may no longer be 100% but there is nothing wrong with the product, as far as safely eating it is concerned. Keep it refrigerated and watch for changes in odor, color or taste.
"Sell-By" date tells the store how long to display the product for sale. You should buy the product before the date expires.
Best if Used By (or Before)" date is recommended for best flavor or quality. It is not a purchase or safety date.
"Use-By" date is the last date recommended for the use of the product while at peak quality. The date has been determined by the manufacturer of the product.
The 'best before' or "best by" dates are more about quality than safety, except for eggs.
Use by dates on baby formula and baby food should be followed due to the loss of essential nutrients. Eggs use by date should be followed due to bacteria.

Can you put warm bacon and egg pie in the fridge?
Putting warm food in the fridge always carries with it the possibility of creating a "warm pocket." Depending on the size of the dish the center may not cool as fast as the outer portions, leaving a warm center in which bacteria has time to grow before it becomes cool. To err on the side of caution, always cool a dish down to room temperature or place in smaller containers before refrigerating.
