Left out over night….

I know this gets asked quite a few times but I’m gonna ask again I took out two full frozen rack of spareribs at 9 PM and put them on the counter and then two that were half frozen and woke up at 4:45 and realized I forgot to put them in the fridge. They weren’t warm, but they weren’t ice cold they’re in a heavy Cryovac from Publix, what should I do?

 

[Maylar]

They're fine. Cook 'em.

 

[LYU370]

Cook em.

 

[smoke ninja]

You should be fine....but then again I should be a millionaire

 

[sackedbysapp]

You should be fine....but then again I should be a millionaire

Now i don’t what to think…..

 

[Big George's BBQ]

Plan on cooking them do the smell test

 

[sackedbysapp]

No smell

 

[JIMSMOKES]

I'd cook and not think twice. Have you tried doing them right out of the freezer. You might be surprised at the results.

 

[Gore]

As George says, give them a smell, but I am sure they are fine. If you were a little closer, my answer would be that I would come by and take them off your hands for you. :becky:

Now i don’t what to think…..

At work when when I think I'm right but want to leave myself an out I'll qualify my idea with "in theory"

So I'll just say "your ribs are fine to eat....in theory

Oh and if you put ribs in a tub of ice water they defrost in like under an hour...in theory of course

From what I understand, any food product will not start growing bacteria until after 2 hours at room temperature and I don't even think you were close to that kind of exposure.

 

[SmokinAussie]

I can tell from here, they are fine.

 

[SweetHeatBBQnSC]

Definitely good to go...just add a little sauce...i'm sure that should cover up anything...

 

[Headgear]

I think I would put them on as soon as possible and smoke them at a higher temperature to get them heated up quickly and don't look back... unless the wife is standing there giving you that look, lol.

 

[SmokeOCD]

I'd cook 'em. Any bacteria was already in there, haven't heard of cryo-boring bacteria. Yet...

 

[Smoking Piney]

They will be perfectly safe and fine.
