Guest beatle February 17, 2007 Share February 17, 2007 I picked up some homemade frozen food from a Wamas member a month or so ago. I'd been keeping it in a sealed plastic container and feeding a few times a week. Last night I left it out in the container and it has melted. Should I toss it or put it back into a plastic bag and refreeze, pretending that I never made this mistake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quazi February 17, 2007 Share February 17, 2007 I would toss it. It is probably spoiled. Why risk it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beatle February 17, 2007 Share February 17, 2007 Well, it's in the freezer now in the meantime. It actually smelled better at room temperature (more like fresh seafood) than it did when it was frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin February 17, 2007 Share February 17, 2007 Well, it's in the freezer now in the meantime. It actually smelled better at room temperature (more like fresh seafood) than it did when it was frozen. I've done that countless times with no harm done.

Ingo February 17, 2007 Share February 17, 2007 Well, here is a really scientific answer: If you would still eat it keep it. Ingo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beatle February 17, 2007 Share February 17, 2007 I wouldn't have eaten it before I left it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inedukated February 17, 2007 Share February 17, 2007 I left my frozen food out for an hour or two once. Once I saw it, I put it back in the freezer, and it's been fine. Not sure about overnight though. I think it should be fine, but like Mike said, should you risk it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I toss it or put it back into a plastic bag and refreeze, pretending that I never made this mistake? There is a formula out there for this by a man named Murphy. If the cost of tank inhabitants exceedes the cost of replacing the food, toss the food. If the the inverse is true go ahead and feed the tank. :wink: Sorry, I couldnt help myself....Murphy usually plays a big role in anything I do.

Guest beatle February 17, 2007 Share February 17, 2007 besides it gives you an excuse to go to the fish store and get other stuff you dont need as well I've never needed an excuse. I guess I'll toss it. Maybe there will be a food party this spring/summer and I can make more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
