/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>put chicken in ziplock bag under water in sink to thaw
>come back 25 minutes later, bag is full of water
>chicken marinated in sink water for 25 minutes
Is it still safe to eat? I'm unironically disgusted but I'm thinking cooking it in the oven should surely kill of any bacteria that might've come about?

yeah whatever critters is on this chicken is going to have a bad time in that oven, you'll be fine.

Depends how gross your sink is but it's not gonna kill you, it's only been half an hour and you're gonna cook it. Also /ck/ is a really slow board, you don't need a bump three minutes after posting.

Thank you. 15 minutes until chicken is done. I figured ill cook it for 5 minutes extra. It was in the sink for 25 minutes, I wonder if that is enough time for bacteria to completely ruin the meat beyond hope, but it's my last chicken and I have no other food left. The sink wasn't ultra dirty, but it wasn't clean either. About 2-3 dl of water got into the bag. Should be fine, right?

Thank you! Sink wasn't *that* gross, but I hadn't cleaned it for maybe 1 week. But I hadn't used the side I put the chicken in for many days, basically spilled coffee down the drain and other things. It wasn't clean, but it looked clean when I put the chicken in....

based. Chicken is done but i'm afraid of eating it. Been in the oven for 35 minutes at 225 deg celcius

if your tap water is safe to drink why do you think it would be unsafe for the clean drinking water to touch your chicken? the chicken is objectively more disgusting than the water. if anything the chicken is now cleaner.

it was marinating in my dirty sink, which had old dishes in it the days before.

Yeah, whatever colonies of bacteria were in your sink are on the chicken now, but everything's always covered in bacteria and we take care of that by heating food. 25 minutes isn't long enough for them to multiply and shit out a significant amount of toxins, it takes about that long for e.coli for example to divide once.
And as Jacques Pepin says, if the bacteria is still living after a 450 degree oven, they deserve to live.

Haha. Thank you anon. I could feel the chicken uncomfortably in my stomach still but after reading this it makes me feel better. I'm going to have to do something about these ziplock bags that keep leaking in water, it's not the first time it happens. It's disgusting.

25 minutes of thawing a frozen chicken is in no way enough time for the bacteria to have produced enough harmful shit to affect you my man

>I'm unironically you guys there's literally tap water on my chicken
Can zers even wipe their asses without getting anxiety about it?

Your chicken is fine it's the sink you should be worried about. Chicken has some nasty bacteria that's why they say you shouldn't wash chicken the bacteria will get everywhere. I suggest getting a new sink.

>>19607354
do they sell antibiotics for sinks?

[Anonymous No.19607418]

Nothing will have happened to it in that timeframe that won't be fixed by cooking it.
You will die though. Just probably not because of that chicken.

[Anonymous No.19609259]

I just shit for literally 12 hours straight. They took me to the hospital in an ambulance, shitting the entire time. I nearly died.

Yeah I mean, OP is a retard and it's a retarded question but that's forgivable. the persistence and inability to even comprehend the most basic of concepts, along with posting frogs, really put the nail in the coffin.

If you're from a third world country maybe. I doubt it's that big of a deal.

You might have some lead in you from the tap water but other than that you're fine, retard

you don't submerge the whole bag, you clip the zipper part to the lip of the container and lean a plate on the meat to hold it under
same with sous vide

>had female roommate
>quickly realize she's an idiot
>throws completely frozen chicken breasts in oven for 30 minutes and can't understand why it's fucking raw
>tell her next time to put it in some warm water for a while to thaw it first
>next day go in the kitchen and there's just a chicken leg sitting in a bowl of water not in a bag or anything
it's like I was living with Amelia Bedelia or something
