Label with the name of the cut, number of servings, and the date of freezing. Freezing Guidelines Bulk lamb purchases should be frozen quickly. Freezing does not improve the taste or overall acceptability of the lamb. It merely preserves the condition at the time of freezing. Cooking Frozen Lamb Lamb may be cooked frozen or defrosted.
Frozen roasts require approximately one third more time for cooking.
Cooking time for frozen chops varies according to surface area, thickness, and broiling temperature. Frozen cuts should be broiled farther from the heat so they do not brown too quickly. Defrosting Lamb Frozen lamb may be defrosted before or during cooking. It should be defrosted in the original wrapping from the refrigerator. Defrosting meat at room temperature is not a recommended procedure.
