Defrosting meat
I have a three pound piece of chop meat in my freezer that I would like to defrost - but I only need about a pound of meat. If I defrost the whole thing, can I re-freeze the other two pounds, or must it be used once it's defrosted? I'm new to this whole cooking thing

Re: Defrosting meat
You can't freeze, defrost and refreeze meat.
Once it is defrosted you have to use it.
When I buy meat in bulk, as soon as I get it home I break it down to smaller portions --like 1/4 or 1/2 lb and freeze it like that so I can just grab what I need when I am cooking.

Yup I do the same.
ETA: Defrost it, use what you need for the recipe, and make a batch of meat sauce, chili, etc. to use the rest up.
