How long to keep fatty in fridge

Brian in Maine · 09-27-2008, 08:11 AM

I've never had this happen before, but I have some fatty left over from last weekends smoke. It's Jimmy Dean sausage, and since it must have curing agents in it, is it still good a week after it has been smoked? TIA

You mean you have a left over fatty, That must be a first. We never have any left over.

i don't know, man... i woulda sliced and froze it. what's the temp of your fridge?

This might be an un-answer-abe questions......... I have never heard of left over fattie....
Give it the snif test... then go for it.

One week should be fine. But I would slice it and heat them up real good on a hot skillet.
But....if there's ANY doubt, throw them out! You won't enjoy them if your wondering if you might get sick.

My super reliable red Thermapen says that it's 36* in the fridge.

welllllll... how long would you keep lunchmeat from the deli in your fridge before tossing it?

the rule of "when in doubt, throw it out" is a good rule to live by. afterall, it's only a couple of bucks.

Brian in Maine · 09-27-2008, 09:28 AM

I know that it's only a couple of bucks, but it's Fatty. Thanks

I have to agree with Rick.

have you ever had food poisoning? i'm not gonna tell you it's safe to eat, because i really don't want to hear about cramps and stuff. i had it in cancun... not fun...

anyway:
click and
click

the government sites are pretty conservative and they are conservative for a reason. there are a lot of variables, including total time between 40 & 140 degrees and other handling issues so making the call without knowing all the variables is pretty tuff.

If the dog doesn't eat a small bite be just a little concerned...

Dude, I made a lot of fatties once and had to squirrel away a bunch of it. I was still munching on it three weeks later!

I'd hit it, chase it with a beer to kill the cooties.

Yes, the addition of the beer is imperative. A slice of fattie with a Pepsi or OJ is unconscionable. As in, thats just wrong.

Breakfast of Champions: Budweiser, slice of toast - white toast, strawberry jam, and hot fatties.

Amen
