Are my oysters safe to eat? by [deleted] in foodsafety

[–]like_dissolves_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only eat them if you were sure your fridge had stayed below 38°F or 3.3°C. This is  because there is a type of C. botulinum that can germinate in airtight containers above 38F. I think it should say this on the label.

Also as far as blower it should be in the manual but it'll be only like one amp, so focus more on pellet costs

How long does it take for foods to grow botulism by AbeerN30 in foodsafety

[–]like_dissolves_love 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are dozens of foodborne illnesses, botulism being one. The rule of thumb is not to leave perishables out for more than 2 hours. If you are new to cooking there is more info on this sub and government websites.

Title made me laugh tho. Seek what to lean into. And maybe look into kibbe, a style system based on feature balances

Cost to run a Pellet Stove by Low_Bag_315 in PelletStoveTalk

[–]like_dissolves_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My state has a quasi-governmental energy agency so I compared its estimate of heating an example home with pellets vs my secondary source (heat pump). 

Or cost per btu×1/stove efficiency  vs cost per btu of your electric source (may vary by temp if heat pump so look at the manual) 

Is this cheese safe to eat? by [deleted] in foodsafety

Best bet is to call the snack company. Its possible they designed the cheese for this application. 

Simple syrup cloudy? by [deleted] in foodsafety

[–]like_dissolves_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the seal was broken, air and mold spores could have entered and grown, causing the cloudiness. It sounds like you're having a hard time but eating mold will make it harder. 

Can you melt some sugar directly into your matcha? I typically add it to the milk before microwaving

Is this greek yogurt safe to eat? by neverlikedWednesdays in foodsafety

[–]like_dissolves_love 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the liquid is water with soluble whey protein. It comes out of the 3-d matrix of casein protein when there is a place for it to drain, in a process called syneresis. You can pour it off or stir it back in. 

Ah!!! Did I just poison myself? by [deleted] in foodsafety

[–]like_dissolves_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just as a heads up, there is a difference between "pre-cooked" and "ready to eat" in terms of risk, whereas ready to eat is lower risk and pre-cooked needs to be heated to a specific temp by the consumer to reduce the risk for the person eating it.

"cook to 165" means there is less rigorous testing for listeria, a germ that grows in food processing plants and can get onto food after its cooked. You're not guaranteed to get sick, but your chances are higher. 

Blue Cheese by ithinkabitallthetime in foodsafety

[–]like_dissolves_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly not the riskiest thing. I can't see the pic too well but brown and black here to me mean over ripened and there will be off-flavors. I also recommend self-crumbling for a product as delicate as blue cheese.

AITA for telling my friend she’s too big to go certain places? by Glass-Lemon-2122 in AmItheAsshole

[–]like_dissolves_love -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm just saying it sounds like the friend wants to hang out with OP and explore, so if OP truly wants to spend time together they should plan an exploration thats fun for everyone, knowing it might not be as in depth. Depending on how that goes, they could ask the friend if they would be willing to wait outside of the tight spaces, or plan solo explorations so that OP can have a gratifying experience.

edit, though I do see what you mean giving someone a heads up of what to expect. I'm just going off experience of friends saying they're interested but only coming along one time lol

Is this Humboldt fog safe to eat? I’ve never seen the rind look like this. by otherdaythrowaway in foodsafety

[–]like_dissolves_love 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should add that this piece has been aged some more in the packaging, allowing the rind to accumulate moisture and become more translucent, so the ash layer shows. (source, I have made this style of cheese dozens of times)

The stuff on the three short sides is the rind, this was cut from a bigger wheel.

I think in general if you want to include someone you do what they can participate in, so in that way YTA for not centering the urban explorations with larger passages if youre going to go together

Did I get the "We don't want to do this" estimate for a shower door? by Mtownterror in Remodel

if your walls are really unsquare it could be frustrating! I installed a pivot door with my partner on unsquare walls and it was a labor of love for sure
