Hey Joe. I would advise against defrosting on metal. The safest way to defrost meat is in the fridge. Just take it out of the freezer and move to the fridge the day before you need to use the meat. Kinda the same story with the slow cooker, it will stay in the danger zone for too long and potentially become a pot of bacteria. If you're in a hurry, you can use the cold water method: Keep the meat in its sealed package or put it in a leak-proof plastic bag. Submerge in cold tap water, changing the water every 30 minutes to keep the water cold enough. Small packages can thaw in about an hour, while 3-4 pound packages may take 2-3 hours. Cook immediately after thawing.

Good news - Pea sprouts are actually safer than bean sprouts! They grow in cooler temperatures, which means fewer hiding spots for nasty bacteria. But always give them a good wash just to be safe!

You're welcome! Glad the video helped! P.S Costco crew also! Never skip the hot dog....

😅 Sorry to say, there's no sure fire way to tell. Although smaller ones generally are better (under 8 inches) and avoid picking ones with yellow spots. The more spots - the older it is!

Toss it! Day 6 is really pushing it for defrosted lamb. It's better to be safe than sorry-you don't want to ruin your weekend!

Thanks Ty! Hope the freezer storage is going well 😊

@TheFoodSafetyDad yes indeed. Thank you very much! I have a question, once frozen spaghetti with meat sauce has been defrosted, how soon must I eat it?

@@ty-tybullardstarks8183 Hey Ty. Happy new year! You should eat it within 3 days if you thawed it in the refrigerator. If you let it thaw at room temp, or in cold water - you should gobble it up straight away!

@@TheFoodSafetyDad Thanks a bunch! Knowing this helps a lot!

@@TheFoodSafetyDad Still trying to get through all your videos. Your videos never disappoint. 👏👏 Wishing you much success!! 😊

Love that, thanks for the support!

Unopened, any canned food is really quite amazing how long it'll last. At least 10 years I'd guess, like he says too, your nose will let you know, hehe

Hey Ben! Canned tuna can actually last way longer than most people think! As long as you keep it in a cool, dark place without temperature swings (as you said), and the cans aren't dented or rusty, you're looking at 5+ years of shelf life. Just keep an eye on those cans - no bulging or leaking, and you're good to go. If you do want to be a bit savvy, you can try rotating the stock out here and there. Use the food from the emergency stash and replace with new!

@ Fantastic thank you- yes I do rotate my stock, as an additional note the only canned food I’ve ever had not be as good as new is brown bread after third year it will dry and become harder and near impossible to remove it from the can- but perfectly edible

🤣 SNAP!

Make every day hot dog day!🌭

Hey Ty! Welcome, and thanks for coming with us! Any questions - ask away!

@@TheFoodSafetyDad Thank you! Whenever we freeze food, frost/ice seems to be on the food when we open the container. Is this something to worry about? Thank you

No its not a concern at all, its completly normal - don't sweat!

@@TheFoodSafetyDad Thanks a million!
