Freezer Thawed out

[Black Ice]

So can I re-freeze the meat it not? What about meat that is soft on the outside but frozen in the middle. About 80% frozen but just the outside soft to the touch?

How thawed were they?

Yes you can refreeze it.

I was taught thawed throw it away. New wife called BS on that. 38 years later we still refreeze fully thawed meat we don't use that day as long as it ain't warm. Not dead yet!
She does get a little weird about tuna fish and week old deli ham but I haven't ever had any trouble.

Okay I am refreezing two packs of 100% thawed but still cold deer sausage. Every thing else was still partially frozen and deer meat.

If it isn't true and you keel over, I'm following so I can learn.

Think about this, there are tons of people here that freeze all their deer meat, then thaw it, make sausage and burger, then freeze it again.

If it kills you, can I have your truck?

By your description you should be fine.

The danger zone is 40 to 140 degrees. From what u describe, it should b fine to refreeze. Had a bunch of fish partially thaw and some completly thaw but still cold and they were fine.

Crank the freezer back up and the only problem you will have is everything will be stuck together. Fine to eat though.

I "refreeze" all the time. I'm not dead......
Or am I?

I purchased my freezer in February last year and the one year warranty just ran out
