Lilymax Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 We hosted Easter dinner today. I bought two pot roasts so there would be enough for leftovers. I browned them on the stovetop, then put them in separate crock pots with carrots and potatoes, covered in a mixture of onion soup mix, water, chopped garlic and red wine. I plugged in both crock pots, and thought I turned both of them on. Exactly 3 hours later, I discovered that one had not been turned on at all. Grrr! So, my sister said it was probably fine and turned it on. I ended up feeding everyone from the one that cooked OK, and let the other one finish cooking. It's cooked for a good five hours on high. She said she wouldn't be afraid to eat it. I'm a little squeamish about such things...knowing it just sat there, seared but raw, for three hours just kind of icks me out. But I've heard that beef doesn't spoil like poultry would in that situation. I'd just toss it, but there's like $15 worth of food in that pot! Of course, I wouldn't accept a dose of food poisoning if someone paid me $15 to do so....:glare: WWYD? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I would eat it if it is cooked thoroughly. Not a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Three hours out and then fully cooked? No problem. I would eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Fairy Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Well I did something very similar a few months ago, so I can say definitively that I would not eat it. Not because I didn't want to, but when I sat down to enjoy a slice of delicious pork roast, all I could think about was, "Food poisoning, I'm going to get food poisoning!" Totally ruined it for me, so I tossed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs.m Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 A London Broil is set out to come to room temp before cooking it. I've eaten many London Broils no problems. I don't think this is different. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilymax Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 This is why I love this board (well, there are other reasons! LOL)...thank you! My husband will be happy to hear I'm not tossing his beloved roast beef. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, though...I like to think of it like the one poster said, as marinated now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
