hey /ck/ just stopping by for a quick question:

i went grocery shopping, bought a steak in a little pack among other things, got home and got an emergency call and had to leave, you know, right at the fucking moment so i didnt put my groceries away. It's been roughly 7 hours since the incident. Is the steak safe to eat?


thanks

OP next time realize that you DO have time to put the steak away. i don't care what the situation is. you can put the steak away.

If people can dry age steak for weeks i'm sure that thing is fine

there is no emergency, literally none, that would require you to go somewhere else, but not give you enough time to put away your groceries

wtf kind of logic is that?

Dry aging raw meats is typically done between 1-4'C. It's a controlled fermentation and the evaporation of moisture, you want active enzymatic activity and minimal bacterial growth. It's not the same as curing, but has similar results. Just straight up leaving something out for 7 hours at room temp is much, much riskier. You can still eat it, but whether it's got nasty bacteria growing wild all over it is a big unknown and could send you to the shitter for 3 days.

Name an emergency where you have to go somewhere else, and waiting the 3 minutes to put away your groceries would make a difference in the outcome

This was literally what I was going to ask upon seeing this thread.

>78 degrees

Sorry OP, but the only sane advice is to toss it and cut your loss.

Unless you have the experience to judge for yourself (it should most likely smell off), you should really just toss it.

I'd eat it.

Likely nothing would happen. Worse case? the runs. Pop some pepto.

If you cook it thoroughly (to at least 165 degrees fahrenheit (about 73 degrees celsius) all the way though, it'll probably still be fine. If you wanna be absolutely safe, use a food thermometer after cooking to make sure the deepest parts inside reached the temperature as well.

After that, when storing, keep it cool (less than 41 deg. fahrenheit) or keep it hot (above 135 deg. fahrenheit). Everything in between's known as the "Temperature Danger Zone", and common health and safety guidelines say it's no longer safe to consume foods that have been in the danger zone for more than 4 hours.

um jezze thats toughg I would think ok but
I would hate to give bad advice. butters.though I can eat almost anything, I would never dare. to fa feed inferior stuff.to faqmily friends or guests. it's like that old saw, spitting in somsones food? you don't lastlong fast food or expensive dine in. someone that would do that purposly, i dont't need, nor anyone else, is my guess.

you don't tell them you're going to put away your perishables, you just take the extra minute (you don't need 3 minutes wtf) to do so.

People eat burgers that've been sitting under a great lamp for 10 hours straight and still end up just fine. I'm sure your steak are still good in that condition.

>> No.5540499

Your steak won't be off. It won't taste any different
It will however have a fair bit of bacterial growth on it. This isn't really a problem if you cook it through or braise it.
Eating it as a steak served at anything under well done/med-well could send you to the shitter depending on how strong your immune system is.

My advice is just turn it into a curry or something and just boil it for a couple of hours.

I'm having a stroke, and need you to drive meg to the hospital for the clot busting drug. Every minute I don't get the drug, the less I am likely to recover.

Sorry, this steak needs proper refrigeration.

To be fair, you could just pop 3 aspirin and wait for an ambulance to bring it to you, which'd have the bonus of skipping the triage you'd get jammed in if you had your partner drive you. But, y'know, I guess you can be too cheap to eat the cost of an ambulance ride instead, that's good, too.

Paramedics can't administer the clot buster, as they are unable to determine whether the stroke is ischemic or hemorrhagic.
