Is It Okay To Refreeze Meat - Grilling

You can but if it sat out uncovered for a long time then you could be at risk for bacteria growing on the meat, but yes you can refreeze meat.

The hazard comes from how long the meat was unfrozen. Refreshing will not kill previous bacterial growth. Raw meat of any kind is always a potential danger to your pet...

No, it's not safe to refreeze thawed meat.

Depends on what temperature the meat got up to in that amount of time. If it got up past 40 degrees, I'd trash it.

Not a good idea. Do so at your own risk.

Refreezing
Once food is thawed in the refrigerator, it is safe to refreeze it without cooking, although there may be a loss of quality due to the moisture lost through thawing. After cooking raw foods which were previously frozen, it is safe to freeze the cooked foods. If previously cooked foods are thawed in the refrigerator, you may refreeze the unused portion. Freeze leftovers within 3-4 days. Do not refreeze any foods left outside the refrigerator longer than 2 hours; 1 hour in temperatures above 90 °F.

Yes, that would be okay. I do that all the time with my meat.

Is it safe to refreeze food that has thawed completely?

If you purchase previously frozen meat, poultry or fish at a retail store, you can refreeze if it has been handled properly.

NO WAY.cook it first then refreeze it.if you slice (into portions) meat up and put it in gravy it will taste really good.and last for about 6months in airtight bags.i cook mine rare as i like it that way.

Sure. This is Ok. It will not harm the meat or your health. The quality of the meat will diminish, slightly, but that is all. It is perfectly safe to refreeze the meat.
