I bought some lovely haddock from the whoopsie shelf at Asda's this morning, completly forgetting that I have a HM pizza defrosting for tonight.... We are out tomorrow night, so my question is: can the fish be frozen now even though the date is today?

Thank you!!!

I would as long as it doesn't say it was previously frozen.

Hoping you can help with what should be a simple query!

I have got quite a lot of beef mince in the freezer that was all purchased fresh and then frozen on the day of purchase. Can I defrost this, make a large batch of Chilli Con Carne and then freeze it again into suitably sized portions? Or can I only defrost it and cook it as required as it has previously been frozen?

Thanks!

You can I'll add this to the Freezing Quick Questions thread to keep ideas together.

Can't recommend this, I think the majority of outlets use frozen bases / toppings and refreezing is not advised unless you fancy contracting a notifiable disease. I may be wrong but can't see how a profit can be made unless the logistics of pizzamaking are spot on and involve minimal wastage, ie as much frozen / canned / reconstitutable food as possible. Throwing away the odd tomato is one thing, making everything from scratch is a poor way of purchasing food for a fast-food business and I can't believe anyone running a takeaway pizza outlet does this.

Enjoy your pizza piping hot and at its best...

We freeze left over dominos/ delivery pizza all the time and none of us has got ill! Seems like such a waste to throw away the last couple of slices.

We usually put one or two slices in a freezer bag and then when we want to eat it, we defrost in the microwave for a few minutes until soft!

P.s we usually get veggie pizzas if that makes a difference, not sure i'd freeze meaty pizzas.

Thanks! Just seems a waste to throw away half a pizza!

I'd not freeze it as the toppings have probably been frozen already.

COld pizza is yummy the next day for breakfast.

We usually have a couple of slices left so I just pop them in the fridge to have the next day for breakfast. I love leftover pizza

I'd freeze it If you don't want to do that, how about just ordering as much as you can eat, or making your own There are loads of recipes on here
