eat it faggot

I'd cook them and eat them. A lot of the "food going bad" stuff is overhyped. Also, if you get food poisoning, I'm not a licensed cook or whatever. For what it's worth, I would cook them super rare and eat it. People have been eating meat for millions of years and for 99.9percent of that time refrigeration didn't exist.

Dog will know

Ask dog if good to eat

Fuck wife

I did, hence extra sauce

I am not an expert in food safety, but leaving frozen meat at room temperature for an extended period can lead to bacterial growth, which may pose a risk of foodborne illness. It's generally recommended to thaw meat in the refrigerator or using a cold water method to ensure it stays at a safe temperature.

While the fact that they were vacuum-sealed and still smell normal is a positive sign, I would advise you to exercise caution. If in doubt, it might be safer to discard the lamb shanks to avoid any potential health risks. If you have any concerns or want more specific advice, it's always a good idea to consult with a food safety expert or a local health department.

It is not advisable to leave perishable food like frozen lamb shanks at room temperature for an extended period of time as it increases the risk of bacterial growth. However, since they have already spent this amount of time out of the freezer and are now at room temperature, there is still a chance that they can be safely consumed if properly handled.

To determine whether these lamb shanks are safe to eat or should be discarded, follow these steps:

Inspect the packaging for any signs of damage or leakage before removing the shanks from their original vacuum-sealed state. If there are any visible indicators of contamination or spoilage, discard immediately.
Check the "use by" or "best before" date printed on the package. If the expiration date has passed, it's best to err on the side of caution and dispose of the product.
Thoroughly wash your hands and surfaces that may have come into contact with the meat.
Remove the lamb shanks from their packaging and inspect them closely for any discoloration, slimy texture, or unusual odor. If all appears well, proceed to the next step.
Cook the lamb shanks thoroughly until they reach an internal temperature of at least 71°C (160°F) using a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat. This will ensure that any potential harmful bacteria have been destroyed during the cooking process.
If after completing these steps, you still feel uneasy about consuming the lamb shanks, it might be better to toss them out just to play it safe.

ehhh... that might be a bit long.

Generally, you can cook it and smell if it is still okay.

The bacteria will cook out at the right temp, but the problem you face is that, after 8 hours at room temp, millions of bacteria have produced waste that does not cook off.

Vaccum sealed definitely slows this process, but 36 hours might be a bit long.

I'm not afraid of food that's left out and, if it were me, I'd attempt to cook it and see how it smells.

If it is off, I just give it to the dogs, whose digestion system is way more acidic and and have no problem eating slightly off meat.

Cook em. Smell is everything. Without oxygen they are fine. All you did was sous vide them at room temp.

Eat them raw

Vacuum sealing does not remove the potentially present harmful bacteria in food; therefore, vacuum-sealed foods can only stay at room temperature for a maximum of 2 hours.

Go vegan and you won't have these problems. Meat is a dead being!

36 hours is probably pushing it.
To be counter safe, food needs to have a PH of 4 or less.
A lamb shank is going to start to rot before too long.
You have MAYBE a day tops.
