Fishnwire Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) I found a Tupperware container of chili I made and froze nearly two years ago. I wonder if it's still good to eat. It's not like I'll starve if I throw it away...It's just that I have some hot dogs I'm going to take to work for lunch and want to make them chili dogs. I'm not going to make a fresh batch of chili just for the dogs, nor am I going to make an entire meal of the chili. I defrosted it in the microwave and it looks/smells fine. Still...it is two years old. Hmmmmmmm... Edited March 31, 2011 by fishNwire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranks bait Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 :whistling:Go for it. It's frozen after all. Now if it's full of frost it might not be as good, but the after effects might be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbuck Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 It should be fine. Some frozen foods bought in stores are at least that old. As long as it wasn't thawed before enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 When we still had our dog I would give stuff like that the 'lab' test. (She was a black lab). If she wouldn't eat it, I probably wouldn't. i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she wouldn't eat it, I probably wouldn't. I've watched my dogs eat plenty of things I wouldn't...the latest was a dead mouse the cat left on the deck, should I have saved some for you?

fish_fishburn Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Heres what you do. Make some new chili for your chili dogs and take some extra buns, dogs and the old chili to work for the lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Bob Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 It will be safe to eat.....but it may not taste as good as it should...but then again it's chili so you probably wouldn't taste any difference. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookslav Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Unless that Chilli is absolutely out of this world good.... I think the potential consequences out way the benefits by a long shot. Its "probobly" ok if you cook the crap out of it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Its "probobly" ok if you cook the crap out of it....

Rattletrap2 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Do you eat from coffee trucks much? If so, your system will have built up immunities to anything that you could get from eating that 2 year old chili!!! After all, some of those sandwiches have been heating slowly for days, maybe even weeks! Go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 It's not like its uncooked chili, it's already been cooked! Sans a little freezer burner (maybe) it will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Cooked or uncooked.. it's been frozen the entire time (well I hope it has). No different than all the other items that get "lost" in a big chest freezer. I'd hate to know how old some of those items where that I ate out of my mothers 8' chest freezer, or for that matter what is in our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
