A comedy of carnita errors, toss it or eat it?

| Why not try a small piece. If it tastes fine, I would keep. |

We were entirely out of food (tomorrow is grocery day) and it seemed ok so we really broiled it and crossed our fingers. A few hours in and all is well. I’ll let you know if we’re dead by morning haha.
They were actually spectacular so I feel like I’ll move towards a much longer cooking time generally (but without all the other issues creating this uncertainty of course). Perhaps a happy accident if I don’t end up very ill. |

| It was fine, in case someone encounters this thread in the future. No one got at all sick and they were very very good! |

| I’m impressed OP! I have a pretty iron stomach and eat things the rest of my family finds questionable but I thought you should toss it. Glad you are ok and enjoyed it! Now I want to make Carnitas again… |

I'm glad it worked out for you.
The unsubmerged portion would have been the end for me. I did enjoy this story! |

Really? What do you think the temperature was in the unsubmerged portion of the slow cooker? Around the same as if you were, say, slow-roasting a piece of meat in the oven? I swear, the educational demise in this country is horrifying. Instead of just parroting "food safety!!" why don't you actually think about the situation? |
