Hi! I used steak 72 hrs ago and it's been in the fridge since. Is it OK to use??? Google isn't helping! M&S packaging says use immediately.
Seem ok! Will do it well done!
Any thoughts!?

If it smells fine is absolutely use it.

If you’re going to cook it well done, you may as well fuck it in the bin now and save the electricity.

What do you mean you used it 3 days ago? What sort of meat is it?
If you think about the butchers - they have opened meat out for days.

Interested in this thread?

Haha..OK I chickened out and threw it away. I'd used 2 steaks and two were left. Nevermind, children don't need to eat daily , do they.
Thank you.

If you used it how can it be in the fridge? What did you use it for?

ChickenwingChickenwing · 08/09/2020 20:06

Oh I see, sorry, you had opened it Blush

Crikey... Urgent?

We have hugely different opinions of what urgent means, especially as it was so urgent you can waste good food.

DramaAlpaca · 08/09/2020 20:07

You threw it away? Shock

Stored in the fridge it would've been perfectly OK to eat.

Clymene · 08/09/2020 20:13

Why did you throw it away? It was in the fridge.

How can you earn enough money to buy steaks from M&S (and throw them away) and understand so little about food hygiene? Confused

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 08/09/2020 20:17

You threw away steak that had been opened 3 days!?

What an absolute waste of food

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 08/09/2020 20:18

I'd have eaten it. You can normally tell by the smell.

So why did you bother posting?
DocusDiplo · 08/09/2020 22:28

Hahaha why are some of you so .. aggressive? I wrote urgent because it was a dilemma I wanted an answer for so I could cook dinner.

I went to M&S because I had to return something there and was having guests so treated us to something nice and easy to cook and save a trip to another supermarket.

I don't know much about food hygiene because I generally buy from a supermarket and use an opened packet within a day or freeze it. I also rarely cook steak. I also have a job that is of an average pay!

Furthermore, I threw it away as when I smelt it a second time, I wasn't sure if it smelt bad or if I was paranoid. I threw it away as I didn't want to risk stomach aches for my child. I didn't think. £4 or whatever was worth days off school.

Do any other people have any other questions for me???

Sheesh! Thanks for help. And sorry for the silly post - I did try googling for ages and appreciated the input .

Goodnight! Smile
