Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -“Raw meat and poultry maintain their quality longer (when frozen) than their cooked counterparts because moisture is lost during cooking.” “Meat and poultry defrosted in the refrigerator may be refrozen before or after cooking. If thawed by other methods, cook before refreezing.”
