Would you ever eat pink chicken? (1 Viewer)

[Ahsoka]

Let’s say you have chicken that despite registering well above the safe temperature with a thermometer still had pink meat or juices. Would you trust the thermometer? Or would you keep cooking it?

I would eat it. From what I’ve read the transition from pink to clear/whiteish/whatever color you call “cooked” chicken isn’t necessarily at the ”safe“ temperature, particularly when there’s a bone. If the thermometer shows well above then I don’t have reason to believe it’s wrong unless it’s full on dark pink or red. If the thermometer was showing right at the safe temp then I may cook it more but if it’s plenty above I don’t want to be eating super dry chicken.

No because it grosses me out I’m extremely picky with meat in general though.

 

[DaisySkies]

nope

 

[PloryWinxyMYBlnk]

You mean under-cooked chicken?? Hell no! I'd continue to cook it until it is well done.

I don't ever want to mess with rare-cooked meat or chicken because of a very likely, high chance of food poisoning.
I'd much prefer my stomach not kill me by consuming well-done foods.

I mean chicken that’s passed the temperature that’s considered safe for consumption by a substantial amount but looks pink, whether that counts as cooked or it is up to you ig. I don’t think there’s one set definition of what it means to be cooked

No girl

 

[athenaaa]

Absolutely not, I don’t trust it until it looks white all the way through

 

[Boyo]

No way.
I almost threw up once when the meat turned out to be pink and un-cooked.
I can’t imagine what I would do with a rare steak.

 

[Pirioca]

Better not.

 

[Dreamer_of_Songs]

No. I rather eat dry chicken then

 

[Willow]

I will cook it a bit longer

 

[StirFriedPanda]

I had food poisoning once and I'd rather eat charcoal before I'd take my chances.

 

[Moguri]

no I would keep cooking it for sure!

Maybe I don’t fear food poisoning enough because I haven’t gotten it, it just seems like worse things exist Ive had bad stomach problems, but they weren’t food poisoning related

Imagine feeling like you need to burp... only instead of a burp both ends erupt. Thank god there was a trash can next to the toilet... Then imagine 24 hours of a north and south eruption. The nausea lasted a week... O, and it took a year before I mustered up the courage eat salsa again (Where I got the food poisoning). Even now, a bottle of salsa can last for a few months once opened as long you keep it in the fridge. If it's been in the fridge more than a week my anxiety is so high I have to throw it away and open a new bottle.

It’s one of the worst experiences ever. I’ve only ever dealt with it once but I was unable to move without my vision going black, extremely dizzy, buckets of sweat and never leaving the restroom because I was throwing up (and eventually dry heaving) for hours. I no longer eat gyros now
I know you were talking to Panda but I couldn’t help but share the near death experience.

Food poisoning is down right traumatizing.

 

[dark_tranquility]

I would think not

 

[MK3AM]

[Deleted member 74]

as someone with emetophobia and health anxiety absolutely not x.x I'm traumatized about getting food poisoning after getting it twice
