In my experience, Bob, slow cookers are not well suited to bringing things to serving temperature
** Phil.
Their job is to spend hours reaching that temperature- and then maintaining it

So DO
You can defrost raw chicken, cook and then re freeze, then defrost, cook and eat?
Ed
Yes- but note- you're not 'cooking' the chicken second time around- just heating it up.

I believe rice is the main culprit for that.
So everybody says but I don't know anyone who's been bad with it (yet).
Agreed. Chinese recipe for fried rice generally instructs that the rice to be fried is anywhere between one and three days old...

Think they say you can freeze twice from raw.
Raw-Freeze-defrost-cook-freeze-defrost-eat.
No.
"They" say, once something frozen has been defrosted it can't be re-frozen; but if something is cooked and then frozen, it doesn't matter if it was (in its previous state) fresh or frozen.
I.e., it can be frozen once from whatever state it is in.
