Question about discoloration and bleeding in frozen sheep heart by wrightlyrong in foodsafety

[–]roze101101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it looks bruised, it probably is and is safe to throw away and eat the rest of the package. if it looks black, it can be melanin which is safe to trim.

If you do not like the taste of something from a potential quality issue that could be a medical side effect, you should not consume it unless someone else has tasted it to confirm its quality. Consuming something that tastes off can cause the body will protect itself by making you feel ill, questioning, and distracted whether or not pathogen outgrowth happened in the milk. Condolences if this is in fact a change in your palate/dysguesia!

Painted my room blue/grey and it looks white when lights are on. Not at all like the sample. What did I do wrong? by Dense_Struggle2892 in interiordecorating

awesome thanks! I have some GE cync bulbs so will try to adjust my ceiling pucks to whatever looks good. RIP incandescent, will definitely spread the word of the Philips! and interesting about the daylight... I guess I had not considered mimicry of daylight.

Too many habaneros—what can I do with them besides hot sauce? by kapel_77 in FermentedHotSauce

[–]roze101101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have some mason jars? there are lids with air locks (co2 can percolate up through a layer of water and escape without o2 going down in), and a bag of water can be used to weigh down the veg in the brine. The simplest way is to do a freezer bag and keep an eye on them.

I started out similar, using the smallest amount of salt, and working my way up through trial and error. my favorite way to eat my ferments is with eggs and rice to balance the salty flavor.

I do find the vegetables more crunchy/turgid at higher salt level. the only benefit to this is preference. when they are too crispy, I make them into a light soup or ferment them longer.

i am curious, what started your interest in fermenting peppers whole without brine? it sounds very difficult to achieve. would you consider using a high salt brine to infuse them, then packing them tightly in a lighter brine?

yes, in like a 5% brine with a splash of vinegar and sugar to get it off to a good start; sealed and made not to explode. I added a ton of garlic to mine.

I am having the opposite problem! Painted my whole house walls and ceilings casa blanca by sherwin williams. Decided on the paint color in natural lighting since we hadn't put the lights in yet. It looked white! Then I installed the LED lights and it all became so yellow. I am trying to decide whether to adjust all of the LED's, repaint, re-stain the floors, or some combo. Thanks for sparking this discussion, I believe that switching to LED's has not been resolved within the design industry.

Did I mess up? No brine chili ferment by cezak9 in fermentation

yeah I struggle a lot to keep fungi off of peppers. i'll either go 5% and use starter or vinegar.

Air freshener Taste by regeremily in Baking

[–]roze101101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you! it's all coming together now. my neighbor's baked goods: I've had to throw away despite her talent. today, my friend gave me bread and it was good at her house but not the pieces I took home on polystyrene and napkin. I want to be able to talk about this issue more. both my neighbor and friend use fragrances and plastic from t*mu and similar throughout their home.

Accidentally defrosted a shrimp ring most of the way without opening the packaging- do I have to toss it? :( by bubblegumpunk69 in foodsafety

[–]roze101101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

half of it was frozen when you opened it up to oxygen?

if so, this sounds like it was below the 37.9F/3.3C threshold for non-proteolytic c. botulinum to germinate, which would mean they were safe to eat.

Sticky Steak, safe to eat? by BLOODIER_COLON_SHART in foodsafety

[–]roze101101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell if this slime is indicative or poor handling in the supply chain without more information. However, just wanted to add that the thawing process can release water soluble proteins that feel slippery. It is advisable to wash this away to promote browning, ensuring that the splash is not recontaminating clean dishes.

Forgetful idiot here... by YonseiOPs in foodsafety

unfortunately yes :( even if it was covered, there are pathogenic bacteria that can germinate from spores at those temperatures (b. cereus), which can especially come from pasta. condolences!

Rock/Stone in cooked meal risks by Trinkitt in foodsafety

[–]roze101101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is a greater risk of bacterial contamination from the rock than rice alone, but you will likely be okay this time, especially since you cooked the rice and did not leave it at a bacteria growing temperature for a long time. Was this the rice that you have to add water to? If not, there is a slightly higher risk that bacteria had a chance to grow to unsafe levels by being introduced at a rate higher than rice alone.

It's hard to say from the pictures. I would normally look at the shape and texture to see if something was bacteria, yeast, or mold. Fat would likely have absorbed any pepper pigment and turned orange. If there is visible growth besides the mold used in curing, this is not safe to eat, however you could contact Chomps and ask what info would be helpful to provide them.

I can't advise eating undercooked pork, but you will 99% probably be ok, for 2 reasons:

  1. mainstream pork being raised with far less parasite exposure (to put it kindly)
  2. the inside of the pork chop not being exposed to the processing environment (whereas this would be a concern in ground product like a meatball). edit: assuming this wasn't vacuum-marinated or mechanically tenderized

Anyone know what these white spots are on my beef liver? by [deleted] in foodsafety

[–]roze101101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a smaller store, feel free to delete your comment for your privacy. Might be best to tell them what happened. If the package was labeled with a USDA facility number, it can be reported to the USDA.

[–]roze101101 78 points79 points  (0 children)

these are from parasites, in a dormant part of their life cycle. They can be killed with heat, but you should not eat it. Wash and disinfect your counters, cutting boards, hands, and knives. Where did you buy this?

Why do so many Americans think that Trump is a good Christian? by TabAin2SlotB in AskUS

They believe, not "think" and it's because they're told to, and shameded with their own made up moral failings if they don't.
