I initially bought 2 lots of mince, and was going to make meatballs and scotch eggs on 2 seperate days, but due to a guest tonight I needed to make a few extra meatballs, so decided to combine both lots of mince and make one big lot of mixture. Now I have mixture left over but wont be making the scotch eggs till next week, so can i freeze the raw mixture to use next week! (I will be adding sausage meat to the mix before making scotch eggs.) T.I.A

Wow! Never thought to do that! I often cook a large batch of mince and lentil 'pasta' sauce and freeze in meal sized portions, which I then use in a multitude of meals, but never thought prepare the meat and freeze before cooking. You learn something every day.

I ended up putting it in the freezer but now I'm wondering about it again.I just put it in as one block - melissa411, were you meaning you make up the raw meatballs and freeze! I can understand that working, but I guess I was more worried that if I freeze it in one block because of the egg it would bind together and then when I thaw it, it will be hard to work with and clump together - oh well I guess we will see wont we ;)

You used to be able to buy a container(possibly Tupperware) for stacking the patties with rounds of grease proof paper between each one and comressing to make a stack of uniform round patties which could be frozen as a block but freeflow seperated easily later anyone seem those!

That would be fine as long as the mince hasn't been frozen before.one defrosted.do not refreeze.unless it has been cooked in between
