Fridge Malfunction for 24 hours
« on: January 05, 2009, 09:28:46 PM »
Hi, my fridge broke down and I didn't notice for 24 hours.  Wonder if the increase in temperature will be harmful to my cheese!  Thanks.

Probably not, unless the temp got real high. How high do you think the temp got in there?

Hi cheese_watcher and welcome to the forum.

I agree with Carter, I think a raised temp for ~24 hours isn't a big deal, more significantly is a significant raise in humidity resulting in surface mold, if your cheeses are unsealed.

I think the temp got up to about 65.  some of the cheese is sealed some is not, but the the unsealed cheese doesn't look any different than before.  Thanks for your replies.

No, no problem there. You're good to go.
