    I agree, and as hollydays points out - always check if something has been frozen. Otherwise yes, it freezes well uncooked or with any dish you make with it, yum.

    I've defrosted a packet of lambs liver today to make liver and bacon tonight but I'm the only one who likes liver and there's far too much in the packet for me to eat (should have split it up before freezing, I know :o )

    I'm wondering if it would be ok to re-freeze once it's cooked? Just a bit worried about it going hard and rubbery when defrosted/re-heated though. Has anyone tried doing this before and was it ok?

    Thanks csarina, I've been careful to only cook it until it's pink in the middle this time so fingers crossed it shouldn't overcook when it's re-heated.

    I'm the only one who eats liver in my house too. Tesco only sell it in a large block, but I just defrost it, split it up and refreeze it. My butcher told me to do it, and it's always been fine.

    Too late, I've cooked it all now :D

    Will bear that in mind though if I'm ever silly enough to freeze a pack without splitting it first though, thanks ;)
