Hi,
I bought a 1.5kg outside round roast to cook for my wife's birthday (today) and froze it immediately when I brought it home a week ago. I thawed it in the fridge overnight but it still was frozen today so I put it in hot water (still in it's wrapper) for about 35 mins to thaw it out (seemed to work just fine).
Anyway, I'm in the middle of cooking it but in the water there is this "scum" which looks like gray cobwebs. I've cooked roasts before (a few) and never seen this.
Does anyone know what this "scum" is and if it's safe to eat? I'm about 1.5 hours into cooking this and would like to know soon since if something is wrong I'd have to trash that and order out (or something ).
I'll try to attach a picture of it but since I'm new I don't know if the forums will permit new members to post attachments.
Thanks in advance
