Not chicken related, just need your thought on this because it has never happened to me before!
Yesterday, I started my crockpot at 9 am with a chuck roast in it for Italian beefs that night. At some point during the day, the breaker blew and the crock pot shut off. When I went back in about 15 mins before it should have been done, I noticed the liquid was beginning to solidify. I opened up the lid and it was warm to touch. I temped it and the meat temped at 70 degrees. The meat was also still red in places. I have no idea when it turned off and no idea how long it sat like that. I plugged it back in and cooked it on high for another 3 hours and it temped well above what it has to. But, now I am afraid to eat it. I hate to throw it out because the chuck roast wasn't cheap but I also don't want to get sick from it either. Mind you, I do have some stomach issues. I had something similar to crohn's disease a few years ago which in turn has given me some IBS and malabsorption issues now.
Should I just toss it?
