[opstrat]

Talk about missing out, matured steak is best steak.

Maybe, but just the thought puts me off.

Steak will be absolutely fine for another week after the sell by date if it's been in a fridge and not in contact with rancid air.

Work Fridge

Rancid air - check!


There's always some twit who keeps a bottle of what used to be milk in there. Along with last week's sandwich that they never got round to eating.

My OH finished off 3 eggs, at the weekend, that were 2 weeks past their date and she's fine.

I didn't dare go near them

Open package.
Smell meat.
If no gagging, cook & eat.
If gagging, cook longer & eat.

How I do meat too lol

Eggs last ages after the dates on them, they're easy to test anyway by placing in water. As long as they sink and are mainly on their side they're safe ;p

If it doesn’t walk out the fridge you can eat it.

If its any good, i bought a 28 day Sirlion joint 1 week ago and its still in the back of my fridge wrapped in some muslin, its gone dark dark brown as a tiny bit of a smell, but when its cooked its going to rock my world.

Smell it. Humans have a good nose for when meat goes off.

This, not all expirary dates are well off the mark, but we don't need to be toold expirary dates we have a good sense of smell, sight and feel. Use them and you can't go far wrong.

Well it went down an absolute treat.

Thankyou OCUK, my fountain of knowledge.

Does the same apply to chicken as well?

No.

 

[Glaucus]

No.

Of course the same applies you can smell, see and feel if its off.

 

[D.P.]

Some people swear that you should unwrap the steak when purchased, soak up the moisture with paper towls and let the steak sit in your fridge for an extra week or 2 to age better.

Certainly I wouldn't worry about being a few days out if sealed and kept in a fridge.

 

[MofoKilla]

man up next time and just eat the steak.

I thought he was on about the ageing of the meat.
