How long can you leave beef out before it goes bad?

well the tupperware technically sealed it inside without much oxygen coming in to cause rotting. However, the meat was at room temperature or whatever there at your place.\n\nI wouldn't serve it to others. Eat it and see. Worse case, you miss a day of work because of diahrea and take some pepto and spend the day on the couch watching cable or playing Xbox.

Beats the heck out of Tofu. If I'm going to have something rotting inside me I want it to taste good going down. Don't get me wrong, I like my veggies but I gotta have my meat. Come to think of it, might just go and grill me a big steak right now. I'm hungry.

The date on the milk is actually dated earlier than the milk is expected to expire, but not by much.  It is generally okay the day of or the day after, but I wouldn't risk drinking too much of it.  You can normally smell it when it goes bad.  You definately should not drink it a week after the expiration date has lapsed.

3 pounds ground beef \n3 tablespoons curing salt \n1 cup water \n1/8 teaspoon garlic powder \n1/2 teaspoon onion powder \n1 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nDIRECTIONS:\nIn a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, curing salt, water, garlic powder, onion powder and liquid smoke using your hands.

You want to leave it at least an hour after eating a light meal.  I would eat afterwards as you'll be really hungry and it won't be too late to eat when you get home.

my bacon is prewrapped, as far as the hot dog dilemma what happens is when you have your barbecue and finish your dogs you generally load em up rite off the grill to the bun, then the inevitable happens a dropped dog!!! you can rinse off the dog not the bun ,hence you toss the effected bun and use your reserve bun and voila soups on.Now all this is made possible due to the large quantities of liquor associated with these outdoor events.I hope i have made your road to knowledge a little smoother,lets do it again soon.

If enough moisture is evaporated from the food then it will eventually combust. I'd say a slice of pizza for 15 minutes should do it.

I'm assuming it's dry powder form. In that case it should last a long time, because bacteria and funguses need moisture to live. Is there an expiry date on the package?\n\nAnyway, if you're suspicious about whether it's spoiled, be careful. If it's spoiled it could give you a belly ache.

Make sure the water is not contaminated. If in doubt, boil it for 10 minutes and then air it before drinking it, or add 1 drop of chlorine per litre and let stand for an hour, if you suspect salmonella. If the water is pure and safe, it's the best thing you can drink.

It depends on the damage to the tissue of the animal that's left. If something smells like a burnt log it's probably not edible.

Technically, it's totally irrelevant. Bacteria don't move nearly fast enough to actually crawl onto a dropped piece of foodin under 5-10 minutes. The point where they can really get on it the point of impact, where outside forces can move the bacteria onto the piece of food. Therefore, gently placing a piece of food on the ground and leaving it for 5 minutes is much safer than dropping it and picking it up 5 seconds later.

Depends on whether you freeze it or just refrigerate it. If you store it in a sealed container in the freezer it can last up to six months. If you just refrigerate it will prolly only last a week to ten days. Freezing is best, you can always just pop it out and defrost it in the microwave if needed.

Tinned food is hermetically sealed and sterilised at a high temperature, so there are no bacteria to destroy the food. Usually there is no need for any preservatives, though I think some are used to help tinned vegetables retain their colour.\n\nIt's only once it's opened that one has to store it out of the tin and in the fridge. Once bacteria get access to the food it will go off as quickly as fresh food and once it's opened, the acid in the food can begin to dissolve the metal of the can where the lining has been damaged.\n\nTins of food have been found which are still ok to eat after 50 years or more but early tinned food sometimes used lead to seal the cans which made the food unfit to eat before very long.\n\nWikipedia has this:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannery

It should be ok... the ham will get a sheen to it with a slight green tint if it has gone bad... the cheese slice may be a bit hard near the edge or it may be discolored from the edges in...\n\nThese are the indications visually of the food going bad...

compare soaking a piece of meat in a glass of coke/ pepsi\nand at the same time meat in a cup of water... store it in the fridge 4 days.... which one looks better after 4 days????\nNow......think of the glass as your kidneys
