Did I just ruin a pound of bacon?

ggileDid I just ruin a pound of bacon?
Take into consideration how long it took the bacon to defrost, how long it sat at room temp once it was defrosted and how long would it take food to spoil at 66 degrees if left open and exposed, not vacuum packed.

Having experienced the above more than a couple of times, it ain't worth to me. If it was an emergency, low inventory of food for awhile, yes, I would chance it.
I have thawed bacon before and it thaws pretty quick compared to a roast or a pack of steaks. So it could have potentially been sitting after reaching room temp for hours.

Word.
Consider how much a pound of bacon costs... ~$5.
Is it worth the risk just to save $5?
But it's bacon!

MikeinNCI’ve had food poisoning, I’d chuck the bacon. It’s not worth it.

wcb6092If it cured bacon it will be fine. A country ham is salted down and hung up in a building until it is cured and then sits at room temperature at the store until it is sold.
If temperature alone could make cured meat go bad then country hams would be deadly.

erj_pilotLine cookie sheet with foil or baking rack

Cook bacon until crispy
Enjoy!!!
I dropped a piece of pizza crust side down ON THE FLOOR in Kyle Stadium weekend before last (UTSA game). Picked it up within the 3-second rule and ate it...just made sure it didn't have a hair or other FOD on it. Zero side effects...not even a sneeze. If I'm not dead from the junk that's hit my gut in my over 50 years on this earth, you'll be fine with the bacon.

Patrick-SP2022As long as you eat enough of it, you will be fine.

VBVAGUYYou are fine. Bacon has so much sodium, nitrates, etc. that help preserve it. God Bless

sniderabacon exists because salt curing resists bacteria growing.
It's fine. If you left it in your car in Phoenix for a week, I'd give a different answer, but FROZEN over night? Hell, it ain't even warmed up yet.

pbslingerIn my view eating that is less risky than eating at a restaurant.

lyman4 hours,
as in you generally have 4 hours once a food product reaches 40 degrees or higher to eat or prepare it,
still sealed, frozen last night when left on the counter, at 8am you are likely good at normal house temps,
fry it and eat it

sigfreundI would eat it without a first thought that it would make me sick, much less a second thought.

ersatzknarfUm, how did they transport bacon in chuck wagons, in the days before refrigeration?
