Meat should be thawed out in the refrigerator, not on the counter overnight. Or quick-thaw methods could be used followed immediately by cooking.
If you can guarantee that no part of the meat got above 40°F, then I could say it might be safe - and that would be assuming the meat was good when it was frozen. Otherwise, you will have to make the decision.
From my experience, stew last 11-14 days refrigerated or approximately 22 hours at room temperature, during the summer months anyway.
You can cook meat from frozen and if you are going to thaw it you should cook it immediately it is thawed.
The refrigerator is exactly where you should keep meat that is thawing and meat that has thawed - that is until you cook it. Use it within a few days of thawing.
Until it is well done.
30 minutes
No there is nothing wrong with this it just takes a little longer to cook it all the way through.
As long as you cook the meat thoroughly (because it may take longer to cook than the veggies, depending on thickness), it should be safe.
To prevent diseases from infecting the meat and being a danger to you. This is why you should always cook meat.
NO meat products should be refrozen , once thawed it should be cooked immediately, then it may be refrozen , as long as when it was frozen the first time it stayed frozen for not much longer than 6 months. This is the recommended time limit for most frozen meat products.
You put it just for a minute. The microwave will cook the meat if not careful. Some ovens have a defrost function use that if it is there. I do it one minute at a time until I get to the right amount of thawing. Keep in mind it still will cook a bit after the meat comes out of the microwave .
I do it all the time but try to let it thaw before you do. We cook in our microwave in two stages. First stage is thawing the meat. Second stage is the actual cooking time for the quantity of burgers you made.
Game meat should be cooked about an hour for every pound of the bird. A six pound turkey should cook for about six hours.
Yes, you can
No, it is not a good idea. Thawing in the microwave speeds up bacterial growth. Any kind of meat that reaches room temperature should be cooked immediately, you can then freeze it. The only time you can refreeze meat is if it is still very cold or still partially frozen.
