Pink Fairy Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) Please feel free to ignore this thread if it's the kind that makes you shake your head in disgust, lol. I'm making carnitas, and put some chunks of pork shoulder roast in the crock pot on high at around 8:30am. Thirty minutes later I put it down to low, but at around 1:00pm I realize I'm not smelling that delicious smell. Apparently I accidentally turned it off instead of down, and now it's sort of a gross lukewarm temp. I put it back on high, but I'm afraid it's too late and I could be dealing with a bacterial cess pool. Sooooooo, would you eat this?

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Let's see - partially cooked for 30 min. right? Then left covered but still warm for 4 hours. I think I'd finish cooking it on high to get the temp. up and then yes, I would eat it. But I think I'm more on the adventurous side than some here on this board.

Tap Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I wouldn't have a problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty in Pink Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I would not eat that, but I'm never very adventurous when it comes to room temperature animal products. I won't even cut the mold off of cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I usually say to toss it but I would honestly probably eat this one. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 If I ever have to question "should I eat this?" then it's always a no from me LOL. Food poisoning is just not something that I want to experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Fairy Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Well, I ate some. Honestly, I couldn't enjoy it because all I can think of is how long does it take for food poisoning symptoms to appear. If I still feel well when he gets home, I'm going to feed it to my dh, but I won't ruin it for him by going through the history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I would not eat that, but I'm never very adventurous when it comes to room temperature animal products. I won't even cut the mold off of cheese. :iagree::iagree::iagree: I wouldn't take a chance, but I've had food poisoning (more than once,) and it's so miserably awful that I wouldn't risk my family's health if I have even the slightest doubt about whether or not a food item has been tainted. It's just not worth it to me. I know I'm probably a complete lunatic, though! Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katilac Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 :iagree: I get squeamish about eggs and mayo left out but I would be fine with this as long as it's cooked. But, see, I never did understand the "don't leave mayo" out thing, b/c anyone who has ever worked food service of any kind knows that the mayo gets left out. For hours and hours and hours, and then put in the fridge, and then left out again the next day for hours and hours and hours. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylianna Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I would eat it. Chances are that the temp was not TOO low... You also cooked it for a long time at a high heat. Let us know!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I'd eat it. :iagree:If I ate meat..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
