| 1 | Hi. I'm wanting to make some dumplings, using frozen prawns. Can I thaw the prawns, combine with the rest of the ingredients, put into dumpling wrappers and then freeze with out cooking. Am I likely to get food poisoning by thawing and then refreezing uncooked prawns. Many thanks java11 - 2018-08-10 19:32:00 |
| 2 | I would not re-freeze anything that has been defrosted. My answer would be no unless you cook and freeze. marcs - 2018-08-10 23:23:00 |
| 3 | My thoughts would be the same as marcs…..defrost, cook, then eat or alternatively re-freeze, but No to re-freezing the raw product unless it is cooked first. IMO the risk of food poisoning with refreezing any raw food is so high that it far outweighs any saving you would make by using the frozen product rather than the fresh alternative, and if you did refreeze the prawns in the dumplings (without cooking them) and then got food poisoning I doubt that you would ever look at (or want to eat) another Chinese Dumpling. :-)) 245sam - 2018-08-11 01:14:00 |
| 4 | I have frequently refrozen raw food and lived to tell the tale. Defrost them just enough that you can make the filling then freeze immediately but make absolutely sure they are properly cooked and hot all the way through when you cook them. Alternatively cook then freeze and reheat properly wh3n you defrost them although dumplings are better cooked and eaten straightaway IMHO sarahb5 - 2018-08-11 13:45:00 |
| 5 | The U. S. Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) advises: 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. awoftam - 2018-08-11 13:57:00 |
| 6 | Thankyou all for your answers. I'm happy now and will go with the majority and cook before refreezing. Many thanks to you all java11 - 2018-08-11 16:54:00 |
| 7 | For those who can't be faffed making their own dumplings (and I do enjoy doing that), I can recommend the Kungfood (yeah, I looked twice, too...!) brand of frozen dumplings! Thoroughly recommend them, in fact, on several levels... autumnwinds - 2018-08-14 01:30:00 |
