Ugh....just realized that I left a frozen bag of chicken wings out on the counter...They are uncooked and they will be out from 7:30-5:30....so 10 hours.
I should just throw them away when I get home shouldn't I?
-
oh god, why is this even a question?
blech!!
YES.
to make you feel better - we had to throw out a big package of chicken last night b/c we left it too long in the fridge. still makes me mad! -
hahaha... awww!!! I'm sorry. I HATE wasting food. especially meat cause it's so expensive.
-
@Mrs. Pen: That was my reasoning too, I HATE wasting food so this just kills me knowing I just wasted a ton...oh well....better than getting sick!
-
That's such a bummer. We crab in the summer so I would just throw them in the chest freezer marked with DO NOT EAT - CRAB BAIT but that's probably not an option for you...
-
Yikes, bummer!! I hate when stuff like this happens. I left some food out overnight once and my husband was INSISTENT that it was still good to eat. I was all "You can eat it, but I'm not going to!"
Best to just throw it out, even though it sucks to watch money go down the drain.
-
@dagret: I do not crab.....if I did I sure would do that though! hahahah
-
Oh, that totally stinks, I hate wasting food! But to be safe, I wouldn't eat it. I've always been scared of food poisoning but now that fear has grown exponentially after having a LO because I'm scared both me AND DH will get sick and no one will be able to care for LO!
-
My mom leaves meat out all the time and I've never gotten sick from her cooking. I've gotten severe food poisoning a bunch of times but usually from dining hall food or takeout.
-
Actually if it was frozen it won't even be fully thawed. When you cook it, it should kill bacteria. I've left meat out overnight before.
-
My mom leaves out frozen meat all the time to defrost. I don't think it's gross, although I don't do it in my house because it weirds me out but everytime I eat at my moms I know the meat defrosted naturally!
-
@mrs. wagon: @blackbird: @MrsTiz: My mom too leaves chicken out to thaw all the time so that was in the back of my head. And yes, they were completely frozen. I took them out of the freezer and set them on the counter to make room in the fridge, but got distracted...I might look at the chicken and make a judgement call later.
-
I always leave chicken/steak out all day (usually in my sink to defrost). I've never had an issue before.
-
@MrsBrewer: if it's still a bit frozen you might get lucky here! If I were you I'd probably cook the hell out of it just in case, if I did end up using it.
-
@mrs. wagon: Well we were planning on deep frying it actually. I maybe I will leave them in there for a couple extra minutes!
