I have anxiety of getting ill (and emetophobe) and a lot stems around food, whether it it cooked properly etc.
Tonight, we were having steak pasta.
The steak arrived yesterday and DH put it in freezer as didn't know when we were having.
Took it out last night as we wanted it today. It was partially frozen so he put in fridge.
Defrosted by tea tonight, obviously. Looked out, smelt ok.
Partway through cooking in a frying pan, hideous burnt plastic sort of smell.
DH (who was cooking) said he left the meat to chop some mushrooms and the fat from the steak caught and burnt and that was the smell. He said it smelt fine cooking it before that and it was fine to eat.
We ate it (me, DH, DD age 3).
But I feel really anxious. To the point of being off and silent with him because I'm convinced the smell was the meat being off and we're going to get sick.
The smell is still there now in the kitchen. Just smells really funny - sort of burnt plastic I guess?
Am I being stupid?
