Hey Friends,

So I've got a pair of difficult questions. Maybe you can help?

1) You know those chicken breasts available for exorbitant prices at HomePlus, Costco, et al? How long will those keep if I toss them in the frezer? I don't want to fall ill eating bad chicken breasts.

2) How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if the proverbial woodchuck could indeed chuck aforesaid wood?

Thanks!

BIJ

He'd chuck all the wood that a woodchuck could if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

I used to proud I knew the answer to that Smile

Since the woodchuck is Korean, he would first chuck 10 pounds of wood. But in his store he would tell you he only chucked 5 pounds so to manufacture a lack of supply to meet demand and thus, charge foreign woodchucks double what he charges Korean woodchucks. He would then take part of the higher price you paid and slide it to the city woodchuck administrator so that if you ever found out about his little woodchuck scam, it would be pointless to try and have any woodchuck authorities close him down. Then he would go on his woodchuck anti-foreign woodchuck website and claim you tried to grope baby woodchucks and are just in his area of the woods because you're a woodchuck loser that couldn't get a woodchuckin' job in your own woods.

1) thaw
2) smell
3) If it smells weird, chuck it.

From my personal experience, there is no outer limit to the time you can keep a chicken breast frozen. This is not true of an egg kept in the fridge door, however. At some point past 3 or 4 months, they 'evaporate' and end up hollow.

If you wrap your chcken well enough before you chuck it, it will keep indefinitely. If you don't wrap it well enough, the worst you'll have is freezer burned chicken, which won't make you sick, but it won't taste very good.

Woodchucks will chuck wood until the cows come home (cows are such a buzzkill), so the amount of wood a single woodchuck could chuck must be measured in pounds (or kilos, if you must) per hour. Coincidentally enough, one woodchuck can chuck 22 pounds of (soft) wood in an hour. (This figure is somewhat lower with hard wood, as, naturally, it's more tiring.) So, if four woodchucks begin chucking wood as soon as the cows leave, in full day of chucking, they can chuck about a full cord of wood.

The real question is (don't deny you've been avoiding it): where's that damned peck of pickled peppers? There is persuasive proof Peter purloined the peppers, and that the path to proving Peter's purloining perhaps puts you in a pretty pickle.

Just buy them fresh next time. I try not to eat anything over 2 weeks old even in the freezer, but my mom normally keep them in for 1 month or so.

Well it's not chicken but for Seollal 2011 my company gave every employee 4 kilos of NZ beef in 1 kilo packages, sliced thin for Galbi I guess. Since there's no way for me to eat through 4 kilos of meat in a few days I HAD to freeze it (the meat was in plastic containers and sealed airtight).

Now Chuseok has passed and I still have 2 kilos left. I had one kilo in April and another in July. All looked, smelled and tasted well after thawing and I did not have any problems with the first 7 slices of each box, but since it takes me at least 4-5 days to eat through so much meat the final 3 slices did taste a bit funky...

Looking forward to October when I start my 3rd kilo. The last box has to go before Seollal 2012. If I stop posting after that then you have your answer for beef; draw your own conclusions for poultry. Or cook it then freeze it.

I heard it's good to pour water into the plastic bag you will freeze your meat in. It lessens the freezer burn, apparently. Haven't tried it yet.

Not sure about water (ice crystals) but now I wonder if you could use vegetable oil instead?

Obviously Formaldehyde would do the job as far as preservation is concerned.
