Cook it or freeze it? Full article 👇

Ground meat and poultry: within 1 to 2 days of thawing.

Steaks, roasts and chops: within 3 to 5 days.

 

Thawed in cold water or the microwave? Cook it first. These methods let the outside of the meat warm up, so cook it before freezing again.

 

Left on the counter for more than 2 hours? Throw it out. It shouldn’t be cooked, eaten or refrozen.Advertisement
