They can't catch salmonella - hence why they can eat raw chicken with no ill effect.

I know someone who had a dog die from salmonella - it ate a chicken carcase left lying around

Dogs and cats can both get salmonella and it can make them very ill.

However, they can also be carriers of it and some healthy animals have no symptoms at all.

Would not risk it.

My dog ate a live chicken to the point of it dying obviousley and survived though at the time was so cross,was concerned about blinkin bones splintering etc..would that count as could have caught Salmonella?

It's cooked bones that can splinter. Raw bones are very much less risky. The natural food for dogs would be raw carcase meat, remember, so they're designed to cope with raw bones.

The stomach acid of dogs is sufficiently strong to kill off most bugs, unless they have some bad luck. I won't bore you with the tale of the boomerang rabbit corpse (I threw it away, dog brought it back for snacks...repeat for a week...).

So, how long do we wait without a reply before getting worried?

I posted a reply on the other thread

I would have eaten it too

After 3 hours on high it should have been cooked, turning it off should have been the equivalent of turning it onto the low or keep warm setting.

Slowcookers are well insulated and will stay hot for hours. I made chutney in mine the other day and it was still too hot to taste properly three hours later.

Just pretend that you have been to an all day all you eat place. All that hanging about for hours in bain maries can't be good either if most of the posters are correct.

Due to the duplicate posts, i've merged this with food safety to save any confusion

Dodgy chicken makes me projectile vomit so personally i wouldn't risk it. Do let us know what you do

The quick answer is no I did not eat it but I did feed the chicken to the pets who thought it was their birthdays! :j
Son was enormously apologetic and replaced the chicken! So I cooked that through the day and I am now making soup with the stock left over from it! Son has his instructions so looks like alls well that ends well! :rotfl:
Zippy thanks for moving this!

My fridge freezer is not working. This morning some cream was off but the milk was OK so I don't think it has been long, but long enough.
The freezer has quite a lot of ice in it still but most of the food is getting soft.

My MIL is going to let me put the food i in her freezer so I just need to sort out what to cook, what to keep and what to chuck.

Just wanted to run my plan past you first...
Ice cream and frozen veggies keep
I am going to cook a couple of joints of meat and then put in the camping fridge to use as sandwich meat and dinners for the next 2 days.
i have some diced chicken that i am throwing.
not sure if sausages will be OK to refreeze?

Am really not confident about this but can't bear to throw it all away. I know you shouldn't refreeze things but what if they are only a little bit defrosted and is this a guideline or a golden rule? Should also add that most of the things in the freezer are yellow stickered so i can't put in the fridge for a few days.

TIA.
