SRF Black Devastated

DoubleEgger

I put a SRF Black in the basement fridge a little over three weeks ago to thaw and wet age a little. That's been my normal MO for a while. I went to get it a few minutes ago to cook and the cyro bag must have had a hole in it as blood was on the shelf. I assume it's a goner at this point. A finale for an overall crappy day at work. 

I had such high hopes for this little fella. This poor brisket never got to see an egg.

At least Plan B is in the freezer.

At the very least cook it close to well done and let your dogs have it.

blind99

Yeah... I'd cook that sucker.

I know peeps that leave meat open in their fridge for 40+ days so I wouldnt let a little leak in the cryo stop me.

Really. I would cook that and eat it without hesitation.

Also: I always put big bags of meat like that in a metal tray just in case the bag does leak. Saves having to clean up a big mess.

Are you nuts?  Wipe up the stuff that dripped out there's no problem at all with the meat.  Dry aging and sh!t, beotch, is a big fvcking hole in the package.

Devastated, in this case:  tieing the dog leash to the egg nest = throwing away perfectly good SNF black.

You should start a go fund me account so everybody here can pitch in and buy him a new brisket. I'm good for asking scottie to pitch in 20 bucks.

Scottie would just ask Ron to pay for the whole thing....

Well, he wouldn't have to if he had Rons money

Without a doubt I would have cooked it.

That sucks. My food saver crapped out on us a few months ago but my wife failed to notice that the bags weren't as tight as they should be. 

I I found a whole shelf in my freezer with freezer burn. 

It always smarts a little. 

JacksDad

Wait... If the fridge stayed cold the whole time... What's the problem? Should be okay, no? 

Sweet100s

What could be wrong with the brisket?  Did a power failure cause the fridge to get too hot?   Was there raw chicken juice where the hole was? 

johnmitchell

Michael I am in the give it a whirl camp.. Should be just fine me thinks !!!!

YukonRon

1st world problem to me. Put that bad boy on the Egg, dude. You should be fine.

Darby_Crenshaw

Better safe than logical

Unless it smelled bad I would eat it.

Also I had some SRF fillets leak like that Shane said it happens in the shipping process occasionally once the ice melts some and leaves room for movement

milesvdustin

Cook it. Its going to be up past 180 degrees, should kill everything off.

Can't recall when I last had a bag break but I do know there were two people involved and there was some concern for awhile...

I rinsed it off last night and washed most of the stank off. It still looked suspect to me. I tend to be overly cautious when it comes to food safety so I tossed it. Before you all chastise me, I've had salmonella before and it's worse than having kidney stones. I'm not looking to complete the Food Borne Illness Grand Slam. I was involved in this fiasco.

I've also had salmonella and kidney stones. I'll take salmonella over kidney stones every day of the week! 

Your meat, your money but there was a 99.9999% likelihood that the meat was just fine (especially once it had been cooked/pasteurized for 20 hours-ish).

DoubleEgger

@HeavyG The docs can load up with enough meds to kill the kidney stone pains. You just had to ride out salmonella with a Cipro IV

As a survivor of 12 stones, they're not all created equal. I wouldn't want either and I don't blame you one bit for tossing the meat. Just not worth the risk.
