02/16 - Thick Thursday!

[aveline]

do you guys know if it's normal/okay that the freezer in my apt. goes up to 45-55 degrees F when it defrosts? stays there for 40+ minutes. then back down to 0 F. landlord says that's normal/safe. I'm new to cooking and not sure if I will get food poisoning. a lot of the things I'm planning on freezing/keeping in the fridge have few preservatives, like vegetables, meat, cream.

Yeah, it's fine. I don't remember the exact temps/times because it's been several years since I took my food safety classes, but as long as it's not at those temps for longer than an hour or so, there's not really anything to worry about.

I used to manage a produce dept at a grocery store. They had me take all sorts of classes so I could deal with health inspectors and stuff.

You basically want anything in there to not get above 38-40 degrees for longer than an hour or two. So if the freezer is only heating up to 45-50 degrees for 40 min at a time, then I would imagine that the internal temps of whatever is in your freezer are staying below that point (depending on how quickly the freezer defrosts/refreezes).

Looks like they upped the pay after some bad reviews. Will update when I get to it.

About 10 mins. Maybe less. Not great, not bad.

I bet he's stalking a goat. He doesn't realize goats can kick ass, though.
