Is it worth it if you did get sick?

 

I've eaten meat that was in the fridge too long, but overcooked it to be sure and not very nice to eat. Never eaten food that thawed from frozen outside a fridge, ie got warm before cooking.

 

I'd eat the peas and chips though.

The food was never outside the freezer, the lid was left up only for a short time.

So long as the temperature of the thawed food did not exceed +4 degrees, it's OK to re freeze. If it was still cold to touch but you are unsure of temperature, cook it and have a party.

Or cook it and THEN freeze it.

I have since found out that the wife's daughter had defrosted the freezer, but the food was completely thawed, so if I cook it then smell it and it is OK then it is safe to eat it?

My wife says it will be fine to eat.

Tell us the results a few days after you eat the defrosted/cooked food, if you're still here.  555
