In some cases of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) there may be no symptoms, but possible symptoms can include: 1  pain, swelling and tenderness in one of your legs (usually your calf). 2  a heavy ache in the affected area. 3  warm skin in the area of the clot. 4  redness of your skin, particularly at the back of your leg below the knee.
The safest way to defrost frozen meat is in the fridge, the microwave or a bowl of cold water. A rule of thumb for defrosting frozen meat in the fridge is to allow one day for every five pounds (2.27 kilograms). Defrosted meat is safe to refreeze as long as it was thawed in the refrigerator. If there is a power outage, frozen meat should remain safe for approximately two days in a closed, full freezer and one day in a half-full, closed freezer.
While properly cooking and then eating food that had stayed frozen at 0Â°F for years won't necessarily get you sick, you probably won't like how it tastes. So the USDA recommends tossing uncooked roasts, steaks and chops after a year in the freezer, and uncooked ground meat after just 4 months. And frozen cooked meat should go after 3 months. While expired frozen meat may look all right to eat, the safest bet is to mark an expiration date on the meats to keep yourself and carnivores in your family safe from food-borne illnesses.
