Howdy to all,

ok here's my question, how long after meat is thawed can it be kept in frig
before cooking? More specifically;

I bought some pork chops four days before the expiration date (sell by)and
put them in the freezer. FF...I took them out this morning intending to
grill them. Plans changed, and now it will be at least two days before I
will be able to grill/cook them, it could be three days.

Is the smell test sufficient to determine spoilage?

Thanks for advice and your time.

Al

The smell test is never a good test. I would say to use them in 2 days. If
need be you could cook them and then eat them the following day. I bought
ground beef for tacos to eat tomorrow. But the meat said to use by
yesterday. So I cooked it yesterday.
