I agree. I cooked it right away and we had it in tacos tonight.</p> <p>I feel wretched now but that's from morning sickness post-dinner, not the meat. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-safety-question-would-you-eat-it#post-2058914 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 18:17:52 +0000 alohaorchid 2058914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a freak about food safety and I would eat that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-safety-question-would-you-eat-it#post-2058907 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 18:08:50 +0000 MrsKRB 2058907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I used to be a food service director and the rule of thumb is 4 hours. I don't usually wait that long, but 2 hour is fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-safety-question-would-you-eat-it#post-2058896 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 17:55:06 +0000 turquoisemama 2058896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am super paranoid about food safety and that time frame wouldn't bother me as long as it's fully cooked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-safety-question-would-you-eat-it#post-2058891 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 17:46:12 +0000 Coffee-lover 2058891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 hours is ok. I would eat it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-safety-question-would-you-eat-it#post-2058890 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 17:44:18 +0000 Snowdrop 2058890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't even cross my mind to worry. If meat is bad, you can smell it pretty quickly, it is what we have evolved to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-safety-question-would-you-eat-it#post-2058887 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 17:40:42 +0000 Torchwood 2058887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry unless your house is unusually hot or something. I would definitely eat it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/food-safety-question-would-you-eat-it#post-2058882 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 17:33:06 +0000 MrsADS 2058882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought ground beef at the grocery store and realized I forgot to put it away (pregnancy brain!).</p> <p>I would estimate the time it set out from being put in my cart at the store to when I put it in the fridge at about 2 hours. </p> <p>USDA says less than 2 hours is OK. I cooked it immediately and we're eating it for dinner. So.... I think it will be OK but just reassure me! </p>
