Would you still cook and eat this ?

It should be perfectly safe if it has been frozen all that time, but if it's got freezer burn it will probably be tough and nasty...

The freezer is there to keep stuff till you need it , if you don’t trust it get rid !
But yes I would cook it

If it was wrapped properly it shouldn’t have freezer burn

I would eat any other food stuff but not meat I wasn’t too sure about.

I would eat it. A year is fine for a joint.

As long as it's remained fully frozen for the entire time its been in the freezer, its perfectly safe to eat. You can always double check by defrosting it and checking by sight and smell before cooking it. It should be fine.

Yes - just cook it well!

Of course there is no reason for it not to be fine. Defrost, and his use your eyes and nose to determine this

Absolutely fine.

No problem. Enjoy ?

I wouldn’t. Theoretically....you should be able to keep it forever, if it’s been frozen at the right temperature, but this may have fluctuated unnoticed.

Not worth the risk I would say.

I wouldn’t hesitate to use it. If you have meat in your freezer why do you still buy more? That’s how food gets wasted, one of my real hates.

Absolutely safe to eat, though quality/flavour might have deteriorated slightly.

If it's been frozen all the time and then you cook it properly, I would certainly eat it. As Franbern says, use your eyes and nose. If you kept frozen meat in one place, near the top/front of the freezer, perhaps you wouldn't lose track of it so easily (this is a case of "Do as I say, not as I do!" ).

I would eat it, as long as it was properly wrapped (preferably in the original shrink wrap from the store)

Yes I would eat it, over Easter I cooked a large beef joint that had been in the freezer for well over a year, it was very good and we were all fine.

Just sniff it. If it doesn't smell then either it's fine or you have Covid and have saved money on a lateral flow test - win/win.

Of course you can cook it - it will be perfectly fine.

As long as the freezer has worked properly during the time the joint has been in it, it won't do you any harm at all to defreeze, cook and eat is as usual.

It may not taste quite as good, as it would have done if you had only kept it six months or so, but probably you won't notice any difference.

I agree with the above. I’m a great believer in giving things I’m suspicious of a good sniffing.

It depends on your freezer.

The freezer temperature should be -18C. If it's been consistently at that temperature (or slightly lower) it should be fine.
It would also depend if you bought it frozen or, if you froze it yourself, how long after purchase it was frozen.

I wouldn't think twice about it. If you are concerned it might be a bit dry, chop it up and use it in a casserole, stew, pie or any other recipe using diced or minced lamb.

I've had things like this in the freezer for considerabley more than a year and they have cooked and used without anyone noticing any difference.
