To ask how long defrosted meat is safe to eat for

[frustratedindivorce]

I defrosted some burgers the day before yesterday. I'd stupidly frozen them without separating them so now I have 8 to eat! 🙄
I usually used defrosted meat straight away.
I was hoping someone could give me an answer on how long they should be ok for?

I was planning on cooking a couple for my DDad this evening with some roast veg when he gets back from the football and I'm terrified of poisoning him!

I would keep it for 3 days if stored in fridge, What you can do is cook them all well and refreeze any you don't use. The cooked frozen burgers might be a bit less appetizing when reheated but if you add lots of tasty toppings would be ok.

@SmallFastPenguin thank you ever so much!

Basically as long as the meat would be okay if it weren't frozen. Burgers should be fine for several days.

I have a 48 hour rule.

3 days x

Three days max.

Depends how long they had left when you froze them. If they were fresh when you bought them and you frozen them a day before their use by date you’ll only have a day to use them once they are defrosted. If you froze them two days before their use by date you’ll have two days, etc.
