Qq about food in fridge and time out of fridge...

[Thelonelygiraffe]

We're on holiday this week. Had an Asda delivery at the start of the week. Put food into fridge then realised about 2 hours later that the fridge wasn't switched on, so I switched it on. It can't have been off foot long as ice cubes were still frozen, but it probably took at least an hour to cool down.

Will food - eg fresh chicken and quiches - be ok to eat after being out of a fridge for about three hours?!

Yes. just cook them thoroughly

I'd say yes! As they would have been cold when they were delivered.

OMG yes. I never put my work lunch in the fridge (hate cold sandwiches and communal fridges) so it is on my desk for 3-4 hours, might be cold chicken, quiche, cheese, tuna, cooked salmon, salad. All good.

What about cold meats, that I can't cook?

They'll be fine, I don't put my work lunch in the fridge and that's way more than 3 hours. I've never died, as far as I know.

Pretty sure they'll be ok. Just check anything over before eating and avoid if you're not happy with look, smell or taste.
