[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Left an Uncured Pork Belly Out Overnight

Posted: 3/7/2017 2:05:42 PM EDT

I got home from the grocery last night and forgot to put it in the fridge. It sat outside in the garage at around 50-60 degrees last night until I found it 30 minutes ago. It was out about 20 hours and still in the original vacuum sealed packaging. Would you keep it and cure it for bacon that will get cooked or would you toss it?

Toss it.

Eat it.
That being said, I eat a lot of stuff that others wouldn't eat according to my wifes book of face page.

Throw it out unless you want me hitting on your widow.

Deep fry it, should be good after that.

Does it smell weird? If not, cook it. Buncha pansy assed faggots in this thread.

You could also cube it, sear it , and confit it. Pork Brion

Google up DDD Memphis Taproom. I had a leftover 1/3 slab of pork belly that had been in the frige to its time limit. This is what I did with it.

The Bad Meat Scenario.

I tend to overcook the meat -- till everything is gray and dead, dead, DEAD -- throw it into the dog's dish, and let him make the call.

Pressure cook it if you have a pressure cooker.
Look up how to can venison and use that temp/pressure/time.
The reason it keeps in can for a few years is because pressure with the heat kills everything all the way through the meat.
You are much better off than if it was burger.

It's not the bacteria you should be worried about but rather the toxins they leave behind. Seriously, toss it.

If this was GD I'd be calling for Dibs on ammo,

It's bait for coyote hunting now

Dang, that's a tough call. I'm the type that hates to waste food and have eaten some questionable stuff because of it.

If it still felt cool to the touch and didn't smell rancid when opened, I'd probably cut it up and fry it. Was it frozen when you bought it?

I'd cook it thouroghly, pressure cook if your into that and eat it. Consider it "cured"

toss it, seriously. as was stated above, even if you kill off all the nasties, you run the risk of dealing with the toxins. i understand not wanting to waste the meat/money, but it's not worth the risk of getting food poisoning. toss it.

Don't be worried about the bacteria. Worry about the toxins created by the bacteria that cannot be cooked away. It's a lot cheaper to throw away food than to spend the rest of your days on dialysis and looking to by a bootleg kidney from China.

I'd eat it, after cooking it up good. Maybe make some lechon kawali from it.

How much is a piece of pork, that you'd risk a few days of being sick? Toss it.

I can't believe I'm the first!

Eat it! Dibs on the guns, ammo, and fishing boat.

I'm surprised the pressure washer guys aren't here to tell you to return it.

Toss it. Or hang it in tree for the birds to peck the fat.

Vacuum packed? Sealed with no swelling? It's fine.
