I bought a frozen beef tourtiere from a coworker on the overnight shift and then my dumb ass left it in my bag in my warm 75F/24C house when I passed out after getting home… I woke up and realized, stuck a meat thermometer in the softening but still cold pie (with a few ice crystals still on top), it’s around 25F in multiple spots I checked. I read the “danger zone” is 40F. I have it in the fridge now to cook immediately if it is safe to do so. Is it?? Thanks! EDIT to add: The temp of the outer pastry layer is less than 30F toward the middle and highest 36F near the edge SECOND EDIT…. We’ve decided to risk it, thanks everyone :) submitted by /u/Sweet-Yoghurt2353 [link] [comments]
