Thanks Primrose, looks like grated cheese for lunch.

Can you use mozzarella from frozen? If not how long does it take to defrost.

Thanks!

Do you mean grated mozarella, or balls?

If grated, then yes ...
If frozen, I've defrosted it in the past, but I can't remember how long it took, sorry.

Did it not melt into a pudddle before it was defrosted? I've chopped up blocks and just used from frozen

Freezes and defrosts well in balls, I eat it for lunch every day and it tastes fine. I leave it overnight, but I'd estimate 4-5hrs.

Hello, lovely OS people.

I bought some liver today for the dog, but there's loads of it so I was planning to freeze the remainder. Now I'm home I realise it says "Not suitable for home freezing" on the packaging. What would happen if I did try and freeze it? Would it just not keep its form or might it be dangerous?

Well fresh liver can definately be frozen - I'd guess that what you bought has been previously frozen. Can you cook it and freeze it cooked?

MrsBartolozzi

Liver is usually freezable, so I would imagine that yours is not suitable for home freezing because it has been previously frozen and it is advisable not to refreeze.
You can cook it and refreeze but I have no idea how this would affect the texture upon reheating.
I am sure though, that someone more knowledgeable will be along soon.
