I get to empty my fridge tonight...and not the fun way.

peeps · Aug 13, 2014

Fridge door was cracked open last night from about 9pm to 6am and the internal temp was 60F when I noticed it this morning. So definitely over 8 hours above 40F.

I guess the veggie drawer didn't get pushed all the way closed and kept the fridge cracked all night.

So tonight will be another trip to the grocery store to re-buy meat that I was gonna cook this week and make a list of all the other crap I gotta replace.

So, this will be my keep/toss list. Let me know if I should consider tossing anything I plan to keep.

Cooked meats - toss (last night's left over tri-tip :sad:
Uncooked meats - toss (tonight's Hatch chile and cheese stuffed tenderloin) :sad:
Milk - toss
Bottled but opened sauces/jellies/pickles/etc - keep?
Unopened cheeses - keep
Eggs - keep
Uncooked veggies - keep
Butters - keep

Now see? This is why you can't be left alone.

Right?

One less person getting in an out of the fridge means one less person to catch this crap :wink:

I had to do this last year, except no door was open. The fridge just up and quit. Definitely not fun. Sorry.:sad:

Did that cocktail have anything to do with this???

The keep/toss list looks safe to me.

lol...nah...just was in a rush cleaning up in the kitchen and putting stuff away and didn't notice, I guess.

You lie. :tsk:

OK, it was the beer, but still. :becky:

Sorry to hear about the loss of valuable meat products.

The keep/toss list looks good to me.

Nah, the margarita hit me hard since it was on an empty stomach, but once I had food in me, I was good to go and the beer didn't push me over the edge. :wink:

Just one of them things...

deguerre · Aug 13, 2014

Been there. Always a sad thing. You have my sincere condolences. I agree with the others too on the toss/keep list.

The remaining avocados are still good, so they will be used in tonight's meal, dedicated to you! :wink:

Sorry man. Sounds like my keep/toss list from the last couple of times I have moved. Looks like the right direction to me. When I first read the title I was thinking we were going to need to do a quick North Texas mega cook to avoid spoilage.

That would have been the fun way :thumb: :becky:

I'm with Pat, it was the avocado's fault!

Keep/toss list looks good to me as well.

Mayo is OK, rest of the list looks good.

Good luck shopping, I did that last week to our freezer, Ice Cube got stuck in the door, I was getting some ice water at 1 am.

Check with your homeowners insurance agent. Lots of HO policies have a provision that covers up to $500 of spoiled contents for many reasons and with no deductible.
