Wake up earlier, lazy arse.

Or cook your food like a man instead of in ziplocks and bath water.

The food danger zone is 40-140 degrees. According to the experts, food can hang out in this zone for only four hours before it becomes dangerous. I guarantee that the food dropped down into this zone and if you're not sure how long it was there for, my suggestion would be to toss them.

Shame too because beef short ribs are one of my favorite sous vide things to cook. Simply peppered, vacuum sealed (no butter for long cooks), and into the bath at 132 degrees for 72 hours. Let em cool a bit, hit them on a grill and you've got some nice little gems.

I have done several 72 hour cooks in a cambro with a hole cut out in a lid for the Anova and never had evaporation problems.

Food safety is a function of temp and time. The 40-140 is just a simple guideline for food safety. Pasteurization will occur at lower food temps held for longer time.

i know, ive only used it a few times and never over night like that. totally slipped my mind.

i threw em out. went and bought some more, going to see how they come out after 8hrs


Doesn't your rig have a low level alarm? Just didn't hear it?

Good call on tossing it, too. Food poisoning is way more expensive and lethal than buying new ribs.
