TIL that there is a ‘two hour rule’ when it comes to leaving meat out of the refrigerator or freezer.. bought some blue cheese burgers at the local Publix and in my haste to turn on the game after i got home and see what id missed- i completely forgot about the burgers sitting on my kitchen counter … i consulted the google machine and learned that two hours is the longest you can safely leave raw meat out … even though they’d only been out for 1.5 hours- i know myself well enough to know i wouldnt be able to enjoy them b/c id be nervous about them being tainted …. $9 into the trash.. coulda been worse, i suppose .

I think it depends on the meat, temps in the room and temp when it was taken out. If it was frozen, it would be fine a lot longer. If from the fridge and just sitting out uncovered, that would be different.

Close to the line, I would just be sure to cook it well, at least 165 internal temp iirc.

Publix had it refrigerated, not frozen

Or just throw it away… .. if id bought $100 worth of meat it’d be different.. but $9 isnt enough for me to worry with each bite i take .. that’s me, ur mileage may vary .

I have very little doubt im in the minority.. there are certain things im xtra paranoid about and potential food poisoning most definitely falls into that category .

 

[Swamprat]

If in my own kitchen, I would’ve probably kept it… making sure it was fully cooked prior to eating.

I’ve had food poisoning three times, from restaurants (cold burgers, deli sandwich), and possibly a fourth time if you ask my wife.. I highly respect the potential of bad food.

No I get it
If it’s questionable, I don’t feed it to my kids - but I’ll give it a whirl

Same same.. ive also had food poisoning exactly three times.. all in my mid-late 40s, so within the last 5 yrs.. there were plenty of times in my life i *thought* i had food poisoning- but once you REALLY get it, you know it.. there is projectile everything, there is no leaving the bathroom for 6-8 hours and NO orifice is spared……. First time was from some preprepared frozen chicken meal from Whole Foods.. second time was Chick Fil A… third and most recent was a chicken burrito in Thailand.. yet i continue to consume chicken.. luckily it happened a few days before my flight back from Thailand; if it had happened day of, or day before my flight- that would have been my personal definition of hell on Earth .


Im guessing humans must become more susceptible to food poisoning as they get older, otherwise i cant figure why i never had it til my mid 40s and then three times since then… my eating habits havent changed .

I had mine in Italy- prosciutto e melon from some place that was in between a cafe and ‘food truck’ situation
And actually I’m pretty sure it was the melon that got me
This was lunch and we had a performance that night
3 minutes before curtain going up I’m just laying on stage in a fetal position
Luckily I’d done this piece many dozens of times so I could sorta sleepwalk through it, but yikes that was no fun

You made the right call.
What's $10 nowadays?
I ate from a popular chain about 8-10 years ago and got sick on one of their sandwiches. Although, I do still eat the pizzas. I've sworn off their sammiches forever.
Food poisoning don't play.

It was burger....just make sure it's cooked to temp and nothing to worry about. Chicken...yes....err on the side of caution. Burger for 1.5 hours I wouldn't worry about it at all. Think about a steak....you should bring those up to room temp prior to cooking.
