I've just roasted a chicken with the pad still under it from the packaging

[MissRatherTired]

... and some of it has already been eaten before I noticed. Should I serve up the rest or bin it? Will we be ok? DP is out - he would probably eat it anyway. But I am worried! Help please?

Totally fine imo

Fine , just throw the pad away

Yeah, I've done this. Just throw the pad away and don't say anything.

Thanks Ladies. I'm sure I've done it before with beef too - just not in my current paranoid state. So far I feel fine and dd is fine, apart from worrying for the last hour.

Just fine eat the pad, the rest is fine.

Just dont war the pad (autocorrect !)

Eat eat not war (I swear this phone hates me)

If I remember rightly, our turkey crown at Christmas had the express instruction to leave the pad under the joint during cooking. On that basis, I can't imagine you'll come to any harm.
