am i pushing my luck........

[IronReload04]

Guys, I purchased chicken 6 days ago. It has been in my fridge since last friday afternoon raw uncooked. now wednesday night. By cooking it tonight, am i pushing my luck



It felt slightly grimy, like lunch meat that is pushing its time, and had a real slight odor to it, probably like a 2 out of 10 on strength. maybe even a one. But i am pretty sure raw meat doesnt exactly smelll spectacular in the first place.


i rinsed it off and the smell and griminess is gone



Part of me sais i am over analyzing and my mind is ****ing with me and 375 degrees would crush any bacteria

But i dont want to get food poisoning not fun


Will i be fine by cooking and eating?


sorry for the some what silly post, but, hey, we young guys living on our own for the first time have to learn these things, and it doesnt have to be the hard way if you know what i mean

throw it away

[THE_DOME]

no reason to risk it dude

[305GUY]

generally with chicken i give it 3 days, 4 days max if i have my fridge set above normal cold.. red meat i give it 5-6

[IronReload04]

damn, as a side note, after i rinsed it, zero smell. and it didnt smell overly bad in the first place. kind of that sour milk smell. strength of odar, proabably 1 or 2 out of 10

[305GUY]

lmao is there nothing else in your fridge to eat.. ahh, fack it just eat the damn chicken.. salmonella is over rated anyways..

[IronReload04]

lol, i have nothing else

[305GUY]

then eat it.. you need protein

[IronReload04]

the shitty thing is, i called home, and my mom is asleep, my dad did tell me to cook it tonight and eat it. usually, he is right about shit, but he has been in a motor cycle accident and broke his jaw playing backyard football one time. so, if that means anything.......

[IronReload04]

then eat it.. you need protein

its life or death, i need protein

[305GUY]

lmao.. just eat the damn chciken.. make sure you cook that shit to death and you'll be fine.. thread closed!

[kloter1]

bro ive risked it plenty of times. cook dat shiz with some good heat and you wont have any problem. save me a plate.

[IronReload04]

with rotten raw food anyway. i would have to think its like this


heat kills it either way. the bacterias enzymes and cell wall function is ****ed with application of heat.

1. if its fine in the first place 2 or 3 days past reccomendations

2. if its spoiled rotten while raw, heat would still **** the germs day up, it would probably in reality be safe and harmless, but just unbearable to eat because it would taste like a stench.

maybe i have the right thinking (shoulder shrugg)

damnit, i am jus ttrying to rationalize because i need protein

[IronReload04]

bro ive risked it plenty of times. cook dat shiz with some good heat and you wont have any problem. save me a plate.

damnit, thats the kind of support i was looking for

[kloter1]

let me know how it turns out

[IronReload04]

ok, so i cooked it, and it tastes real funny. so i dont get protein tonight

i find it highly unlikely that anything would be alive in that chicken, but it tastes funny and my gut feeling said dont be a schmuck and for once in your life skip a meal of protein

[IronReload04]

i feel weak already froom lack of prtein jesus



i always get myself in these stupid situations. last year, i made a thread just like this because i was making eggs in my dorm room one night, (last batch), and the last egg was severely cracked and i got put in wit h the other 11.

so i got all freaked and made a thread. took my chances then, came out fine, no chances tonight.




honostly though, if i was a bacterium, and i was in an oven that was 350 degrees. i would be like "ahh, my cell membrane wont work. shit. i cant breathe. whoa, my proteins are bending and unfolding and are out of whack, uh o, they are vibrating, shit now they broke apart and pieces are flying everywhere, o no, crap, i am drying out. fack, my dna dont work. crap, my enzymes arent doing anything, shit, my biological processes arent working, and my enzymes cant hold on to a substrate for shit. shit shit, i am losing my cytoplasmic contents,.....flat line........."


but it still tasted like shit, so i didnt eat it fack

but thte chicken tasted like shit, and ya never know, maybe toxins didnt die,

[chest6]

man ive had salmonella..it is NOTHING to mess around with...i was throwing my guts up for 4 days...anything i put down would come right back up

throw that shit away

[Mobligator]

I whole heartedly agree!! I've also had food poisoning and it's the worst sickness I ever had. THROW IT AWAY!!!
And next time freeze it if you're not going to eat in in two days or less.

Funny in a "nerd sort of way?" No way!

I think that's hilarious that you wrote that all out.

[FranKieC]

Dude I had food poisoning and I was throwing up and shitting at the same time with chills and a fever..

[IronReload04]

i threw it away guys. i cooked it, took a couple bites, and said nah, this went bad for sure.

most likely, since it was cooked, it was harmless, but im not taking chances. not eating protein for half a day is less severe then puking my brains out for 3-4 days. thats the way i see it

[IronReload04]

i have taken chances before, and like another said, anticipating whether or not you are going to get sick can make you sick in itself. just not worth the worry and risk

[FranKieC]

Eating no protien for half a day is better than losing 5-6lbs from throwing up and being dehydrated

[IronReload04]

Funny in a "nerd sort of way?" No way!

I think that's hilarious that you wrote that all out.

at that point, i was just in denial about not being able to eat protein. i have been depressed all day since i havnt had protein

lol lol


i am just glad that all the little bacterias didnt me

so, i am going to the store right now to buy some chicken finally. and i am going to have a great feast

[IronReload04]

Eating no protien for half a day is better than losing 5-6lbs from throwing up and being dehydrated

totally!!!

i am going to use the freezer this time so those little bacteria ****ers cant **** with me no more

this is what i do to bacteria

[Superhuman]

Eat It!!!

[Polska]

Chicken is one thing I don't fack around with. red meat is safer. I have a steak that's been marinating in my fridge for 4 days. no problem. I usually stick with red meat bc I hate cooking chicken.

[IronReload04]

realistically though....nothing could survive 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes


or can it?

either way, i wasnt about to eat it, then be paranoid for the next 10 hours about getting food poisoning

[Panzerfaust]

Go ahead and eat it...





**sits and waits for results**

[zimmy]

depends on your gut... I personally leave chicken at my desk at work sometimes and eat it the next day or 2 after. By pushing your stomach to fight bacteria you get a bit of a tolerance to it. Why mexicans can drink there own water but gringo's can't :P

[collar]

but next time if you think you wont eat it on same day, throw it in freezer.
then you will have no problem
