Fridge door left open

Yes

I would.

Yes, but eat them soon.

Yes, I'd eat them, but in the next couple of days.

Yes, well not the yoghourt I HATE yoghourt, but DH would eat it. He is the one I buy it for.

Yes.

Yogurt and bacon butties for breakfast, lunch and dinner

We're not in the middle of a heatwave at the moment and we used to only have cool larders.

Yes. Years ago people didn't even have fridges and I bet they ate bacon etc. that had just been stored in cupboards

Yes I would. Platefuls of bacon butties for breakfast, what's not to like?

How did our grannies manage with just a marble pantry shelf! It will be ok!

But bacon and yogurt won’t go off in a day it doesn’t even have to be kept in a fridge it ll last a few days

Yoghurt is made in warm countries as a means of preserving milk without refrigeration. It'll be fine. The bacon will too.

Of course. This happened to me once on Christmas Eve, because the fridge was too full of goodies to shut easily. We ate everything and lived to tell the tale.

Yes I would eat it.
Who got the blame for leaving the fridge door open?

Yes I would eat it.
When we were first married we didn't have a fridge nor did we have a larder with cool shelves.

Yes

Of course. Would have still been ok after 24-48 hrs.
Yogurts are lovely if partly frozen. I always put my Activia in the bottom of my freezer. Yummy.

Freeze the bacon, take out the rashers you want one by one, greaseproof paper between each ‘rasher or two’ eat the youghurt on your breakfast cereal

yes I would freeze what I don't use in the next couple of days and cook it straight from frozen. I wrap it in parchment paper so it is separate.
The yoghurt you will know if its off or not and eat accordingly.
We didn't used to have sell by days we just check to see if it was ok.

To be frank, unless someone is living in an extremely hot country with no AC in the kitchen, I do wonder at any intelligent person asking this.

No wonder there is so much wanton waste of food in this country.

Eat it all,,, our freezer door was partly left opened all night and there was no ice left only dripping water but we left all the meat etc where it was and let it freeze over again, nothing wrong with it,, todays food has so many preservatives added to it that it will last for weeks.

The question is far from academic here as OH is very frail indeed and a bout of food poisoning would carry him off. That is why this intelligent person is asking the question.

The idea of wasting the food is appalling to me - but so is killing him off.

Bacon is fine as long as it's not green and I've eaten previously unopened yogurt 6 weeks after their use by date.

Oooh! Not sure about the refreezing of defrosted meats, Alleycat - I think I would have had a big cook off first then refreeze ?
