Meat Problem?

Submitted by Al on 4/13/06 at 8:39 PM. ( ) 71.124.109.196

I shot an elk this year and had all the meat processed. bad thing is i was limited on freezer space so when deer season came i filled all the freezers. One day i was working up a couple turkeys i had in the fridge and i fleshed and soaked them in thinner to help degrease them, but didn't have time to mount them so i had to freeeze them. Not thinking i bagged them and threw them in the freezer. turned out to be the freezer with the elk meat in it now ALL the meat has absorbed the thinner fumes into the meat, is there any way to get it out to eat or is it all ruined and needs to be thrown away all couple hundred pounds of it thanks.

The meat is ruined. Sorry.

Another ringing reason to use soap and water to degrease things. But then again, regardless of the season, instead of storing my edible meat with my taxidermy work, I bought a separate freezer. They really aren't THAT expensive.


Ouch

I know the feeling. I once put some huckleberries in a freezer full of meat and everything tasted like huckleberries.


When in doubt...
