I have about a 10 day old 3lb chuck roast I never froze cause I kept meaning to cook it. Parts are starting to turn gray/brown. Think it's still safe to low and slow?

Yeah but if it's been wrapped in plastic, the grey and brown bits can taste a little "old". Nothing unsafe about it though. I would trim the funky bits and fire it up.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

@Stike would cut it into one inch pieces and eat it like popcorn.

@C-t: 'old', or aged?

it's better now than it was 10 days ago.

What about chicken breast. Thawed some last Wednesday and never cooked em. They are still in fridge, way past the date on them.
Safe??_______________________________________________XLBGE -
believe it or not, the date has nothing to do with safety. it's a quality thing.
'best quality' by such-n-such a date.
only food in the US that requires an expiration (unsafe) date, is baby formula
check them out. if your temps are fine, they should be fine. as for bacteria, USDA says eggs (which nowadyas can have salmonella in them) can be kept for 'many' weeks past the sell-by date.

I hear you. I just find that when it's under plastic (not breathing) it tastes "old" and not aged to me. I dunno why but I've never been too fond of that type of aging. When we would cryo age, it would just get darker and darker red....like for weeks. It was awesome. Just seems like stuff in plastic wrap once out of the cryo didn't age the same way and I didn't care for it as much.

the plastic is oxygen permeable. cryo isn't.
under plastic, it will oxidize a bit

Can't resist-just like the difference between iron and stainless steel...of course without oxygen...Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.
