Milk & slice / bulk cheese freezes well, sour cream doesn't. The first two are fine taste & consistency-wise, sour cream was way off on both bases. IMHO I wouldn't think ricotta / cottage cheese would freeze well bc of this.

What are the 3 laws of refrigeration?
- Fluids absorb heat while changing from a liquid state to a vapor state. Fluids give up heat in changing from a vapor to a liquid (Function of Expansion Valve)
- The temperature at which a change of state occurs is constant during the change, provided the pressure remains constant. (Heat Exchanger)
- Heat flows only from a body which is at a higher temperature to a body which is at a lower temperature (hot to cold). (Evaporator)

You can freeze cooked ham. Here is a good trick. You can slice the ham up into serving slices (or thinner slices for sandwiches) and divide the pieces into packages for several meals or layer the slices with a plastic wrap between them and then take out how ever many you want, without them sticking together. This way you don't have to haul out a big ham and then end up throwing at least 1/4 of it out. If you don't want to do this, wrap the ham in aluminum foil so it doesn't get freezer burn and put a date on it. AND I also forgot. When you take it out get a needle and put vinegar into it. It should make it more tasty!!

How long can you leave a raw turkey out of the refrigerator?

Can raw steak cause food poisonig when left at raw temperature for 1 hour?
If it has only been out for one hour, it should still be safe, but will need to be cooked immediately. Some recipes call for the meat to be room temperature.
Why after defrosting can not frozen again?
Because foods need to be rapidly refrozen to limit the size of ice crystal buildup inside what im assuming is a meat product.
modern frozen foods are flash frozen creating realativly small crystals. most non-commercial freezers wont work for this. they work fine for keeping stuff frozen though :)
