Would you eat this beef?

[bumbelinabumsquash]

Took a small joint of beef out the freezer last night.. meant to defrost it in the fridge but instead left it on the kitchen side all night. It was defrosted by this morning. The kitchen is cool... I put it straight in the fridge this morning. Just unwrapped it but not sure how safe it'll be. Would that be ok to roast, do you think??

Yes

Yes, I'm sure it will be fine.

Yes

I frequently defrost things by leaving them out on the side for most of the day. It has never caused any issues. I wouldn’t if it was 28 degrees plus but it’s not.

Absolutely. I was taught that beef should be cooked from room temperature.

Yes I would

Thank you. I'll give it a go. Think it smells
Ok but everything smells suspicious when you want it to!!!

I never defrost meat in the fridge, it takes too long. Have luckily survived so far!

Yep. Hope it's tasty

Yup.

Definitely, when you think of days gone by people had pantries/ larders instead of fridges so would leave the meat sitting in there.

Reader, I survived. (I know you've all been worried )

Phew. Did you wait seven weeks to tell us because you were in ITU?

Only just got off the toilet
