I have all day had a lamb curry cooking away beautifully in the slow cooker, I just went to stir it and found... the moisture pack from under the lamb!!! I thought I checked it, I turned it over & didn't see it so went about my way... (the lamb was partially frozen so went into the sc in a soft block)
So is that it? My beautiful lamb curry (which was part n' partial to my random act of kindness) is it gone?
HELP!!! (major panic mode now...)
I don't know Christy, but I just wanted to say.. ewww.. lol
the moisture pack is just full of blood though isn't it?? so it can't be that bad.. or can it?? Ok, I admit.. i have no freakin idea... ;)
actually it shouldn't be. I am sure that I read somewhere (just googled and can't find it now of course) that there is some health regulation that says that they can't leech any toxins if they are cooked etc because people can accidentally cook them (as we see here). I did accidentally microwave one once recently and it didn't seem to cause any damage to the food (but I did get DH to taste it first LOL)
So long as the plastic coating in still intact it should be fine to just keep on cooking it.
:hugs::hugs: I wouldn't eat it
Ohhh BIG BUGGER!!!!!
I have no idea if it would cause any issues or not, i have put one in oven before for a short time before i realised I had not checked and it was all ok (i also got DH to test first !!! LOL)
hope all is ok and you still enjoy it
Oh no! Wish I could tell you!
Where did you buy the meat from? If you got it from a supermarket, maybe you could ring them and ask? They may be able to put you through to the butcher?
Yeah I think I did this time... I usually go to my special butcher, but this week got it from woollies.
oh no chrsity and it sounded so good....
ooh Christy said norti words....
If it's still intact it might be ok if it's broken and the crystals have gone into the food I would give it a miss.
Maybe you could ring the poisons information center.
:( well... the verdict is its a no go. The thing was flat when I pulled it out, and the butcher said that if the crystals escaped in a curry then the whole thing was trashed.
So off we go to Old McNasty....
Dachlostar :P I've edited out the norti word
D'oh :hug:. It's so disappointing when a meal goes to waste. I ruined a whole batch of cannelloni recently, I was devastated!
As for your RAK, you're heart was in the right place!
Ooohh, I am wiping the drool from my mouth as we speak, Lamb curry yummo.
I wish they wouldn't put those stoopid pad things in the meat, I have ruined so many roasts by cooking the pad with the meat.
Oh no Christy. I am so upset for you. That really, really sucks :( .
I hope that you all enjoy whatever it is you end up eating!!
THat's awful Christy...
I actually read your post this afternoon as I was dashing out to the shops to get some stuff for dinner and thought mmmm that's what i'll get.
The ruddy thingo fell into the casserole pot. The teeniest bit of the corner melted before I could grab it....can't eat it now.
Oh NO!!! Thats stinks Kim, literally...
I've thrown it out, but will shop for some more lamb in the morning, from MY butcher and will do it all over again, because I've been smelling it all day & NEED it now.
What can I say gals, but GO VEGGO - then you won't have that problem!!!:p
Seriously though, you poor thing. I hate to see any food go to waste and it's always deflating to ruin the family dinner!:hug:
LOL Sal... we are off beef atm, we've been eating meat for 3 years now and are ready to head back to the v side.
Woo Hoo!!! We'll turn 'em one family at a time!:lol:
Should we start a new veggo thread to inspire???
