    Say for example a shepard pie.

    Frozen meat thawed and cooked in a pie. Can I then freeze the finished pies?

    Saw a documentary a while back that demonstrated that, after a period of 24 hours, there were significanlty more bacteria on a piece of meat that was refrozen than meat placed in a fridge after freezing or left out in the open :eek:

    As you have cooked it in the interim, yes, it is OK to freeze.

    @OP - Yes you can for the reason outlined in mitosis' post.

    @All - No Food Safety Advice please.

    Oh God, yes. This is how I manage to always have good homecooked food during the week. :)

    If you heat it properly once thawed, it'll be fine. The bacteria will be killed. Dunno know if this is classed as food safety advice. It's just common sense really.

    Rightio, I don't think this thread needs to remain open, seeing as the question has been answered.
