Would you use pot roast?

Question

I have a pot roast that bought in Feb. It said to sell by 2-17-06, and I did and put it in deep freezer. Would it be safe to eat now being Sept or should I just throw it out. If I can keep it do I need to thaw before putting in crock pot?

Answer 1

I would if it looked okay..If it is freezer burnt then I would throw it away..Thaw it out in the refrigerator first and if it seems okay then put it in the crock pot.

Answer 2

THROW IT AWAY! NOW!

Oh man, that is going to make one nasty tasting pot roast! I've done that before with chicken. It was in the freezer for months and I decided to thaw it out and put it in the slow cooker for dinner. NEVER AGAIN!

You really shouldn't leave meat in the freezer longer than a month. After that, I've found the taste deteriorates and the meat, no matter what kind, just doesn't look goodl.

Answer 3

It will be just fine but I would thaw it first before putting it into the crock pot.

Answer 4

It is safe to eat if it has been frozen the whole time. The issue with freezing for too long is freezer burn. You should thaw it.

Answer 5

Definitely thaw before cooking it. If it was frozen, it should be okay to eat. You might want to smell it though, before you put it in the crockpot.

Answer 6

as long at is does not have any freezer burn and was tightly wrapped it should be ok to eat. generally frozen food is about 6 months.

Answer 7

i have used them like that - as long as it was frozen and sealed i wouldnt thaw it first

Answer 8

If it was frozen, it should be ok. Yes, I'd thaw it first.
