My freezer has thrown a wobbly and everything has defrosted or partially defrosted. 

Everything is still very cold though, so I'm wondering if I can get away with refreezing it all, or should I chuck everything out? or just chuck out stuff like pork and chicken? 

It's a pink question I know, but having survived several deadly diseases and various escapades with motorbikes, cars, gliders, explosions, diving, riots, hookers etc, it would be a bit tragic to get knocked over by a bit of dodgy chicken!   

TIA!

Bin it, not worth the risk.

cook everything and eat it all if it's still cold or part thawed 
anything you can't eat ,it's all cooked then , so freeze it
assuring you have a working freezer  and just did a "Turbs" turned it off by accident

I don't think I closed the door properly last night.    

So not only have I lost a lot of food, it's probably been running like the clappers ever since trying to keep the temp down and my next leccy bill will bankrupt me!

In that case, you can freeze the stuff down relatively quickly, it's only been warming up for sub-24h, and has spent most of that time frozen anyway I'd re-freeze it, myself. Just make a mental note that it needs cooking immediately, and thoroughly, when it's next thawed.

Seconded

Obviously, if it is more defrosted tomorrow then a new freezer is required

No.

Eat it, and if you croak I'll start a thread about what a great guy you were.

Does brain dead count?

Where's Tainted Tony when you need such advice


No option but to use what you can now, and bin rest.  Unless, like me, you have a sister you don't like much, in which case, refreeze it, and then donate it to her.

[Raeturbo]

Cook it all eat what you can and donate the remainder to your local Salvation Army🫵
