Today's Edition of "Would You Eat This?"

[emilyinchile]

I am more concerned about the time on the warm setting than the overnight time. If you'd cooked it in another way, finishing at 10:30pm, and left it overnight, I'd eat it. This I wouldn't.

[MixedBerryJam]

A chicken dish left overnight, no. But I let my huge vat of tomato sauce with meat cook all day (on a burner, not in a crock pot) and turn it off and let it cool overnight before I divide it up and freeze it in the morning, and we've never died from that. I wouldn't do this with a stew-type meal, though.

[abramos]

Nope. I would not chance it.

[phoenixrising]

I would totally eat that. I regularly leave food out overnight when I make a bit pot of soup or chili and eat it the next day. I just heat it back up to simmering. And I have never had food poisoning.

H says that he ate 2 tacos after boiling everything and feels fine.

Granted, he has an iron stomach, but I'm still not eating that stuff.

[Deleted]

It's probably fine, but I might err on the side of caution. I'm pretty lax with food though. I have yet to ever get food poisoning so I kind of live on the edge.

I'm kind of laughing at the person who said they would feed it to the dog. Why on earth would you want to give your dog food poisoning? That sounds like a miserable mess for both you and the dog. If it isnt' good enough for me it certainly isn't good enough for my dog!

[pitterwoo]

Because my dog is much less likely to get food poisoning than I am of course. He eats random crap (sometimes literally) outside all the time, so when I left chicken enchiladas overnight in the kitchen he get got to enjoy them instead. He lives for moments like this I'm sure.

I wouldn't even eat it after it sat in a warm crockpot for 10.5 hours, unless you were watching the temp and maintained > 140F.

This, let alone sitting out all night. Gross.

Hopefully your husband's food poisoning will clear up in time for him to enjoy Christmas dinner. lol.

[thatgirl2478]

nope. i accidentally did that with a pork dish ... i threw it out. it's not worth risking food poisoning.

I hope you update us as to what happens to your husband!! LOL

This!

[Mrs.Beagle]

He's fine. He did throw it out after "proving his point" that he could eat it and not get sick.

He's also feeling very smug about proving all my internet friends wrong. Neener neener from the hubs.

[pitterwoo]

I think it's funny that he ate it once but even though he didn't get sick he threw the rest out. I guess he only wanted to gamble once.

There is zero superiority in doing something really stupid just to prove a point. But ok, enjoy that smugness. lol.

[calico]

So, in true male fashion, he acted like this was a dare. I think somewhere inside, he knew it was risky to eat it, since he threw it away and didn't continue to eat from it.

Lame.

[dancingirl21]

No. Food in the crock pot actually starts growing bacteria after only 3 hours on the warm setting. Seeing as how it was on warm for hours, then left out unplugged, I'd be really scared to eat it then.

Yep.

My answer is always yes, I would eat it, lol

I have no scruples wrt food safety

This is me. I take a few more precautions when pregnant, so right NOW I wouldn't eat it, but I probably would, after heating it back up to bacteria-killing temps.

DH would dig right in.
