My dad gave me some frozen mince (no idea of sell by date) so I cooked it in the slow cooker. Is it ok to freeze it again now its cooked and been in the fridge for a day and a half as we have not eaten it yet?

Thanks

Hi sickofhavingnomoney,

My general rule of thumb is that if it looks and smells ok then it's fine to use.

Now that it's been cooked it will be fine to freeze, but bearing in mind it's been in the fridge for a day, when you're planning to use it take it out of the freezer and use it the same day if you can.

Hi there, I have this problem with a lot of things, for example isnt pickling supposed to preserve things therefore surely pickled onions shouldnt be thrown out after 6 weeks as it says on a jar I have!!

I am obsessed by checking dates on things but I think I am over cautious sometimes!
