Help please! Just found 8 pork loins in fridge dated 4th March - any ideas ?????

First of all, would you use them if it was you?

...and any ideas on what I can do with them?

I've thought about doing something in my slowcooker with them but I've only used it once so I haven't got a clue :confused:

Any help very gratefully received... tia.gif

    I'm not keen on pork so I don't know what can be done with it, however 3 or 4 days out of date should still be safe. That said, I defer to more experienced advice which I'm sure will come soon. :o

    smell it. i know raw meat smells a bit nasty anyway, but you should be able to tell if it's on the turn. if it smells ok, give it a good rinse for good measure, then cook it well.
    TOP MONEYSAVING TIP

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    It looks ok but I don't want to unseal it until I'm going to cook it but wondered if I could do something in my slowcooker - some for dinner and some to freeze as there's no way me, OH and 2 littlies under 4 are gonna eat 8 in one go :D

  • Pork is Possibly the worst meat you can get food poisoning from.
    Even a day out of date= throw it away!

    Chuck it out - it's not worth it, it really isn't. Beef or lamb possibly okay, pork or chicken could make you very ill indeed.
    I am not stubborn. I am merely correct.
