General Question Are these white stringy things between the cuts of this ground turkey normal?

I know it looks like washboard abs but it’s ground turkey sheet pan “kebabs”. I’ve made them a few times and don’t remember this happening the other times. It’s just ground turkey hand mixed with spices, baked then broiled a bit. I made the lines in the raw turkey before baking it. I bought the turkey (99% lean) on Saturday.

Are these vegan sausages safe to eat? They have been sealed and refrigerated the entire time but they also expired a week ago and have these white spots.

General Question Do store-bought microwave meals need to be cooked through to 165 °F?

2 Upvotes

I sometimes buy microwave meals for the convenience but following the package instructions it always worries me how they get boiling hot while being in a plastic container.

With some exceptions most microwave meals are already cooked and sealed so would it be fine to reheat them just so they are hot but not boiling? Or are they half-cooked? Or is there no way to tell without asking the manufacturer?

After seeing some nonsense cooking instructions on pre-made food I don't trust them blindly.

General Question How do you save a tomato?

2 Upvotes

I just need 1 slice for something, but I can use the rest over the next couple days for stuff like sandwiches, bagels, etc. Would it be best to slice it all the way up and put it in a ziplock? Just take off 1 slice at a time? Or is it not good anymore after slicing?

General Question How to defrost a large slab of meat without a fridge or hot running water?

1 Upvotes

I have a couple of big slabs of very fatty meat (~2 to 4 kilos each) that I need to defrost for a research project. They’re roughly equivalent to big slabs of steak fat.

The meat slabs are vaccuum sealed and kept in a chest freezer at a warehouse. I need them to stay sealed until I’m ready to use them. I have plenty of coolers, I can bring ice over, and I have a tapwater hose on site, but no hot running water, fridge, or microwave, etc.

What’s the best way to defrost safely?

Pizza rolls in freezer without power

1 Upvotes

Hello! So recently our power was out while we were out of town, but it was only out for 24 hours almost to the dot. We had a bag of pizza rolls in our freezer, and I’m wondering if it’s safe to eat them? We also had the ice maker and a slab of beef in the freezer, not sure if what else was in there matters or not.

Has anyone else noticed a bad taste in lot #26-076 of simple truth organic tahini?
I buy this product A LOT, I eat it every day, I know how it’s supposed to taste.
I’ve bought five containers from two different stores over the last couple weeks, all with the same lot# on the lid, and they all taste bad to me. Almost like a moldy taste, like maybe it’s rancid?
Anyone else noticing this?

Is this mold inside a grapefruit?

I’ve never seen this before and just purchased this grapefruit today from wegmans. Is this safe to eat? It seems like it’s affecting the inner membrane and not the flesh of the fruit itself. Could I eat the other half if I can’t see any black residue?
