How long does frozen meat keep?

It was one of those sold in Tescos especially at christmas. It has a cardboard 'wrapper' saying 'beef joint ready to roast'.

Thank you for reply, I thought it would be okay- its never been defrosted, just forgotten.

OK, slow cooking will probably be no good for that one, just follow instructions on packet, I am sure it will be ok. Enjoy xx

Hi melie,

Defrost is and see how it looks/smells. Food doesn't go off when it's frozen but it can deteriorate and not taste as good as it could.

If it was me and it smelt and looked ok, then I'd cook it.

I agree it may not be as tasty as it could have been but still should be perfectly edible unless it smells off. If cooked with herbs, then I think it should taste fine.

I would still eat it.

Hello,

We made some burgers about a year ago and then froze the leftovers. WOuld they still be OK to eat now or should they be chucked?

There are only two, frozen raw.

Would appreciate your thoughts!!!

Have done this, suspect over a year old too! They might seem a litttle dry round the edges. If they have been kept frozen and were in good condition wehn you put them in, you won't get poisoned. All taste the same when the gherkins, cheese slice, ketchup, mayo etc is on. I swear I could serve sheets of cardboard and they wouldn't notice

i'm with purprle ivy on this one. as long as the mince wasn't right near the sell by when you made them you should be Ok. just make sure they're well cooked through!

Thanks both. It was fresh when we made the burgers and I am always very careful about freezing so hopefully they will be fine!
