A few weeks ago I made a pork roast, and froze the leftovers.
This week I thawed the pork, made BBQ sauce, and we had BBQ
sandwiches.

I made way too much. There's probably 2 pounds left.

Can I refreeze this, or should I give it to someone?

I don't want to eat it all weekend...I only indulge in fatty foods
once a week.

In terms of safety you can certainly refreeze it. It might degrade the
texture of the meat a bit, though.

How many days are you planning to refreeze the pork? 2~3 days would be
okay, more than that the meat will start to taste bad. You could
always give it to the pet if you have left overs, they just love it.

Your reply doesn't make sense. Maybe I just don't understand what
you're trying to say.

While the meat is frozen, it takes months to deteriorate. Repeated
freezing and thawing is not good for it; particularly the texture, but
the time it's held frozen makes almost no difference at all.


Note to Mitch: freeze it in several 1/2 pound packages.

Refreeze is fine.
