Hey, question for you guys. Like how long would you say raw meat in the fridge would be good for. I had a couple of steaks I was going to cook and it still looks and smells fresh, though there is some discoloration just along the edges, but not mold or anything like that.
I just read an article about that, I'll see if I can find it. In the meantime I think they said 4hours for stuff that was in the fridge and up to 48hours for stuff in a full freezer or 24hours if the freezer was half full.

Yeah, if that's the case I would have to throw out everything, we've been down for nearly 48 hrs.

This isn't the link I was referring to before but it should work: Refrigerated Food and Power Outages: When to Save and When to Throw Out | FoodSafety.gov

Okay, so I stopped when they said discard pizza. LOL...I know I've eaten lots of pizza that was just sitting on the counter for a day or two.

Confirmed w/wife (she is certified by VB Health Dept for Food Svc Mgmt for our old restaurant). If the steaks were in the fridge, and the fridge not opened (or only just a couple times), steaks should be cooked tonight and will be OK. If not cooked tonight, throw them out. Would not trust chicken after 48 hrs.

Yeah really sucks. Im lucky in that my girlfriend has power so i can just stay there. Do you have a electric or gas water heater? I had to throw some food away last night, but i had a turkey that i was able to save, which i have plans to cook tomorrow if anyone has any good tips.

The tree that is suspended by power lines and that i have to drive under to get out of my neighborhood is still hanging there. Its angled so thats its blocking one lane completely and making it so some taller cars, like suvs and trucks, could hit it when they drive under it. This is a pretty major road too, connecting 2 areas together with neighborhoods and apartments on both sides. Combine that with no street lights at night make for a pretty dangerous situation. I really would have thought getting it taken down would have been a day 1 priority. Its big enough that if it fell on your car while driving you could be killed. Plus it could easily take out a whole new set of powerlines.

I took a case of water and places the bottles around the freezer so if the power did go out the frozen water bottles would help keep the food longer and you can drink them as they thaw out.
