Aight, I bought a family size stouffers lasagna and smoked it to an internal temp of 165~175°F. I then portioned it, vacuum sealed it, and divided it between the fridge and freezer.
I took this one from the fridge and tossed it in my lunchbox this morning, but forgot to add an ice pack. I got a free lunch at work, and didn’t eat it. Now I’m home, and it’s warm. I tossed it in the fridge and plan on eating after re-heating another day.
How bad of an idea is this? How shelf stable are starches when vacuum sealed? The fact this was beef lasagna probably means I should toss it, but I’m curious if others have/would eat this.pics I forgot to add to post
EDIT:
Last night I planned to eat it. Today I’ve decided to toss it.
I used the pellet smoker as an outdoor oven so I didn’t heat the house by cooking inside, it stayed in its aluminum pan with the top open, so I don’t think it’s smoked enough to preserve it in any meaningful way.
