20 hour room temperature Lasagne - Eat or bin?

[keybored]

A Lasagne was made last night (contains some beef) but we ate less than half of it. I put the remainder back in the oven (switched off), intending to put it in the fridge before bedtime. Obviously this didn't happen.

It's been in the oven, uncovered in a Pyrex dish for over 20 hours now at around 25°c. It was quite nice and I hate waste on the one hand, on the other hand I'd prefer not to die.

What would Urban do?

Bin

 

[keybored]

I'd be more inclined to eat this if it were winter. I doubt that's very scientific at all.

 

[Thora]

You should definitely bin it, but I would be tempted to just reheat it super hot.

 

[strung out]

Leave it in the oven and heat it back up again.

 

[Reno]

Wouldn't risk it.

Student died after eating pasta he left out on worktop for five days

AJ, 20, warmed the pasta up in the microwave but fell ill within half an hour.

Five days?
I assume a suicide verdict was recorded.

 

[Pickman's model]

Feed some of it to a neighbour's child and monitor their health for 24 hours

If five days can kill you then there is a good chance that 20 hours can at least make you seriously ill, especially when it contains meat.

Or their kitten would do.

Child better as you can monitor remotely by listening to wails of child followed by wails of parents. Kittens are too quiet.

My perpetual stew is vegan, but I leave it in the pressure cooker and reheat it after 24 hours - I used to do a fresh batch midweek, but I go the whole 7 days now.

Or their kitten would do.

Considering cats lick their arseholes, I wouldn't compare their bacterial resilience to that of a human. Stick with the child.

Eat it and let us know how you get on (leave log in detais with a friend or relative if necessary). Then next time someone asks the same question we'll know what to say.

Warm it up so it’s properly hot all the way through and then eat it with confidence. It was cooked, after all. Not like leaving raw meat out at room temperature. No reason to bin it.

there is every reason to bin it. you are giving dangerous advice

 

[Fez909]

I would 100% eat it. Not even a day out of the fridge?

If it smelled/looked OK, and had been covered (or like yours, in the oven) then I wouldn't even think about it.

 

[Looby]

Absolutely bin it!

Yeah absolutely, some proper wimps on this thread.

wimps? for not wanting to get food poisoning and die? fucksake

Bollocks.

 

[equationgirl]

Bin it, can't be too careful, not in this heat.

Including you gentlegreen .

What would Urban do?

Urban would eat it and post a photo montage of the results.


Personally I'd bin it.

 

[moomoo]

I work at Tesco. We have a 20 minute rule for food left out of fridges for a reason. Bin it.

How are you not dead?

 

[gentlegreen]

How are you not dead?

Perhaps I'm immune.
For years i used to leave stirfry in the wok and reheat it the next day - rice and all.
I had food poisoning once and I think it was from chewing on unwashed Hunza apricots - only lasted a few hours ...

 

[wayward bob]

i would totally reheat and eat. 2nd day lasagne is the best

Tell me you don't make it, leave it out and then reheat the entire lot repeatedly over seven days?

 

[Orang Utan]

Bollocks.

bollocks to science?
