So, a few weeks ago my wife bought a boston butt. We cut it in half, put one half into the sous vide and the other half just vacuum sealed and put into the freezer.
The first half we cooked came out great, nice medium rare. (131 deg for two days).
About a week later we sous vide the other half. The water had a strange odor so my wife changed it, even put it into another bag after about 30 hours. When it was done it had this odor. It didn’t really smell bad but it also had a strange taste.
I wonder if this was due to that half having the bone in it. It’s the first time I’ve sous vide something with a bone in it.
I don’t think it was bad, can’t see how that was possible. I did eat it and didn’t get sick. But, I just threw the rest out because wife and son didn’t eat and and what I ate just didn’t taste awesome like the first half.
Any ideas what this was or what happened?
