I have a large cotechino in cryovac. I plan on poaching the cotechino in the cryovac, then grilling half (in pieces) for Easter Sunday lunch. Can I freeze the remaining poached half to reheat or grill later?

The rule of thumb is that meat should be cooked no more than twice i.e. cooked once and reheated once (when re-heated, the internal temperature should reach over 75C). Cotechino is a cooked meat product and you’ll be poaching it in cryovac, meaning it’s essentially cooked twice, so the remaining portion shouldn’t be frozen or re-heated due to food safety issues.
