stan Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I thought this would be the best area to post this question. Yesterday, I uplifted my shopping from a delivery company who bring it over from the UK. I "accidently" bought 4 frozen steak pies instead of a chilled ones and wonder how long I can keep them safely in the fridge before cooking them. The pies were delivered frozen on Monday afternoon, allowed to thaw in a chilled container at the delivery compay depot, then delivered to me Tuesday afternoon, shortly afterwards put in my fridge. The delivery van has a chilled area where fresh food is stored during transit. Any advice on how long to keep, or to discard would be appreciated by any of you food experts out there!

YCCMB Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Why not just cook them all and then freeze them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boiling a frog Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Are steak pies not already cooked? one only reheats them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Well yes, a very good point. When the OP said they thought that they had ordered chilled and received frozen steak pies I assumed that they were the ones with uncooked pastry, the filling is cooked. Maybe they are not. In which case, I would say get them eaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nectarine Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 But if you ordered frozen then hasn't the delivery company got a duty to deliver them to you frozen? Surely when they took the order, the fact that you'd ordered frozen would mean that you wanted to receive them in that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Maybe a viable option for the future would be to buy some Beef Bourguignon type stuff from France in a jar, wrap it up in flaky pastry and shove it in the oven...Its got to be easier... If you were to say ginsters pastry.. not that would be a bit trickier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
