wierd freezer burn
« on: May 30, 2022, 04:40:06 PM »
I was cleaning out the freezer and found a few pieces of meat that didn't seal right and had started to freezer burn.  Thawed them out and now there's this weird black stuff.  You guys seen anything like this?

I dunno what it is, blood maybe?  Just trim it off and the meat should be fine.

Probably dried meat juice that came to the surface with the ice crystals when it burned.

Or, Satan.

I agree with bob.  It's likely aliens.

Trimmed it and into the smoker it goes.  Will report back if it grows tentacles or if I require the services of an exorcist.

Thanks.

^ "Gaz-bat-cho."

Owwwwch.  (But very good.)  (The pun, not the meat.) (I learned a long time ago if food is the slightest bit suspicious for any reason whatsoever, trash it, and don't feed it to the dog.)  (Good advice, take it or leave it.) (Ignore the "yeah, buts" to follow.) (Some medico said somewhere that many cases of "flu" symptoms were actually due to food poisoning of one kind or another.)

Heh.  "Gaz-bat-cho."  :rofl:

Good one, Fly 320s. Worthy of the Knowbell Prix for Punsteration.

I've seen the same thing and I have NO problem believing it at all.

Same here.  Read that many years ago.

duckduckgo to the rescue...

     

My  refrigerator freezer is 10.5° F.  A little higher than recommended, but I'm in and out of there a lot and I can't get behind the box to clean the condenser "coils" any more.  Turnover is frequent.  I don't load it up --there's just me in the picture --and turnover is a week, maybe ten days.

Most of my 72-hour emergency food is in non-refrigerator items like canned goods and the ever-popular Hormel Compleats (spelling is correct) or the Dinty Moore equivalent..

I keep the freezer on the fridge in the kitchen at 0.

I think I have the deep freeze in the basement set to -15.

Well, I'm kind of a Watt miser and like an air conditioner, the colder you set it, the more kWh you use.  The 10.5° F suits my spoilage rate fine, since the turnaround is 7-10 days as I mentioned and it takes a lot longer than that for food to spoil at 10.5° F.

Miser-wise, there are billing periods in spring and fall (12 hours daylight, moderate temps) where I can get below 100 kWh per bill. Funny story about that regarding my own stupidity for another time.

ETA:   I'm in an apartment with heat and water provided.

Lowest I've had KwHR wise is about 480-500.

Since I got the pellet stove winter usage has dropped dramatically as I no longer really use the heat pump to heat the house (except over Thanksgiving and Christmas when I'm away for a week or two).


Winter months this year were:

November (2021) 484
December 514
January 535
February 571


Last year's summer months were:

May 685
June 797
July 951
August 756
September 753
October 556

In a really hot summer I'll go above 1,000 a month, but generally not often. I turn the AC way up when I leave in the morning (generally to 80) and then I turn it way down in the afternoon when I get home, generally to 72 or so. That both cools the house and it dehumidifies it.

I have to agree with that.  Money and food supply is not so tight I need to worry about eating questionable food. 

That might change.   [tinfoil]
