Safe to bake and eat around the spot? It had been thawed in the refrigerator and then refrozen again before now, if that matters. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.138275 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:17:06 -0800 chicken safetoeat casaubon http://ask.metafilter.com/38833/Good%2Deatin%2Dor%2Dlurking%2Dhorror How long is it safe to keep <b>cooked</b> shrimp in a refrigerator before eating? I bought them on Monday and thought I'd eat them that night, but fell asleep early. Tuesday I wasn't home. Now it's Wednesday and they still look pretty good. Is it safe to eat them? (total time since leaving the display case: 51 hours)<br> <br> My refrigerator is on the cold side but I don't know exact temperature. Milk usually lasts a little beyond the expiration date. The shrimp were not unrefrigerated for more than half an hour (straight from the store to the refrigerator). If they smelled bad I wouldn't eat them even if I had bought them moments before. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.38833 Wed, 24 May 2006 15:09:00 -0800 refrigerator safetoeat seafood shrimp spoiledfood ducksauce
