Frozen in error-safe to eat????

I'd sling it in the oven and get it eaten!!

i may be too late but for future reference when you're told that something isn't suitable for freezing that isn't always the case

with a dip or anything with a lot of oil, it's true... a mayonaise dip will seperate horribly when thawed and is nigh on impossible to get back to a palatable state

i've been told many times not to freeze kippers but i do and they are fine

also even with meat refreezing it only changes the taste and texture, it doesn't somehow magically infuse it with germs that make you ill


supermarkets love to make you think you have to use up what you have right away or chuck it out, they make money on impulse buys then money again when you waste something (thanks to their warnings) and then go out and buy more!

as long as items are handled with good hygiene and put away before they can cool down enough to become a breeding ground for germs they are normally fine, you really do only lose texture and some taste

for example... you have chicken frozen you thaw it cook it and put it into another dish, say a casserole. would you not consider freezing that casserole? most people do and they are fine yet that meat has been frozen, thawed, cooked and refrozen...

Meat's okay if you've changed its state ie. cooked it prior to refreezing whereas previously it had been raw.
