they were completely de-frosted,
can you re-freeze them and use them or are they throw away as well.
I can remember bck in the "Old Daze" when we used to loose power at the house
for long enought to allow the fridge's freezer to warm up and thaw everything.

As soon as the power came back on, Mom would start a frantic round of
COOK everything that thawed!

Pot roast in the pressre cooker on a burner;
Chops under the broiler;
Hamburgs on another burner;
And something going in the crock pot!

Once everything was cooked;
she'd refrigerate some things to use in a day or two - and
FREEZE some things AFTER they were cooked.

I always thought the rule was:

* Freeze raw meat ONE time
* Cook it immediately if it thawed
* "OK" to RE-Freeze a COOKED meat ONE more time AFTER it was cooked

Any "good cooks" out there know for sure??
