Safe to eat?

[Catseye3]

Me, too. I agree with the others.

7 hours below 140F. Pitch it.

I eat anything that doesn't smell or look bad. You'd be shocked, well not really, at the amount of time I've left meat at room temp and eaten it after the sniff test. No food poisoning so far, but I know, famous last words.

That said, I wouldn't feed it to others. Except my dogs. I guess I feed them anything I'm willing to eat.

Even if I heat it up for an hour at 300 degrees?

600 degrees for half an hour would be better. 1200 degrees for 15 min. will sterilize it.

Toss it. Otherwise, when you do get down to finally eating it, the dinner conversation will be around whether it's really safe to eat now, more discussion on whether cooking it at high temp kills everything, and then finally: every bite you take, you will be trying to determine if there is any strange taste that might be a signal that it's poison.

[Mik]

Yep. It might be ok, but is it really worth it?

I know - but it cooked at 350 degrees for 3 hours!

[Mik]

You’re retired. Do it again.

I’m going to make a double batch of the Calabrese ragu this week to give to some neighbors. That’s a five hour gig.

[Doctor Phibes]

God, I wouldn't even hesitate to eat it.

Don't take my word for it, though. I used to snog lamp posts when I got drunk.

[Mik]

@doctor-phibes yeah, well, there’s that British thing again. Spotted things and all that.

Your problem is the yank beer is so disgusting most people start throwing up long before they get drunk enough to snog lamp posts.

Yeah, yeah, I know, "We've got all this artisan beer now. It's got notes of elderflower, and is tres sophisticato. It tastes best drunk straight out of a jam jar at only 10 degrees below room temperature!"

Ok, I admit that might have been a bit sneery. I do even admit to liking an American IPA or two.

Is sneery even a word?

[Mik]

It is now. You adjectived a verb.

[Doctor Phibes]

Which, it has to be said, makes a pleasant change.

New England or Hazy style IPA is my favorite beer now.

Ayup. Enquiring minds here, ya know.

[George K]

@jolly said in Safe to eat?:

Well?

It's in the freezer.

I'll let you know when I thaw it and cook it (again). I figure I'll 350 for an hour or so. That should kill anything, right?

Brenda, I don’t believe you weighed in here yet. What say you?
