20 hour room temperature Lasagne - Eat or bin?

[dessiato]

Bin it.

 

[strung out]

We regularly leave rice in the rice cooker overnight and then fry it up the next day too.

 

[xenon]

Smell it.
Rehea thurroughly
Eat
Wait near a loo...

 

[gentlegreen]

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

Yes.
Today it got spruced up with a can of soup, a can of tomatoes and a can of mixed beans.
I'm not sure of the stats for loss of nutrients through reheating, but I eat a hell of a lot more veggies than is normal...

 

[planetgeli]

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

The reason being that on the slimmest chance of anything going wrong after 21 minutes, Tesco could face corporate charges and bad publicity. And they're scared of that.

I'd eat it.

With a camera goddam it.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I'd eat it.

 

[gentlegreen]

I started doing this in the winter.
My kitchenette is so cold, I used to have to trick the breadmaker into starting.
I maintain that school cabbage is more nutritous than what millions in the West eat on a daily basis.

 

[Sue]

Seriously, food getting constantly heated/reheated/being left at room temperature seems foolhardy to say the least. Vegan or not, it's still perfectly possible to get food poisoning. Could you not at least refrigerate it and only reheat the portion you're going to eat that day?

 

[xenon]

Do it for science!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

To clarify - I'm not necessarily "advising" someone else to eat it. But I would eat it.

 

[JimW]

We eat loads of stuff next day that's just been on table under a sort of mesh bell thing that keeps flies off, reheat rice from the cooker too like strung out.
No science but very common here, hence you can buy those covers.

I don't have a fridge.
It's left moderately well sealed in a pressure cooker.
I have to leave it several days before any mould turns up.

Have you thought about investing in a fridge? Or you could likely get one on Freecycle.

Apparently “science“ has already given its verdict and it just happens to agree with whatever Orang Utan thought up.

Don’t go there...

Sorry GG but you know. Your cooking situation, kitchen is... Unusual.s

That won’t save you in court when he dies.

er, no, read up about it - you want to avoid getting food poisoning from bacteria that has potentially colonised your unrefridgerated meat dish

 

[JimW]

FAKE NEWS put about by Big Lasagne.

 

[Orang Utan]

if you get food poisoning, at best you'll be sick from both ends for a day or too, which is very unpleasant. At worst, you'll cark it. Why take the risk?

Maybe time to start re-thinking having leftovers from last night's curry.

In winter I would probably eat it, but this time of year - and with the recent "muggy" weather - there are so many dirty flies about that I would advise binning it.

Bacteria can - and do - double their population in 20 minutes at room temperature ...

I've owned fridges in the past, but I eventually found I didn't need one.
I actually have a camping fridge buried in my junk room, but I doubt it would change my life significantly...

it could prevent you from dying. surely that's quite life changing

Shouldn't I have died by now ?
I've been eating this way for several years now.

we're (you're) veering into covidiot territory here. 'it hasn't happened to ME yet, so it's perfectly safe'

 

[Reno]

Glad you guys who don't put perishable food in the fridge have been lucky so far, but you are playing russian roulette with your health and you can make yourself seriously ill. That's why there is a two hour rule when it comes to basic food hygiene. This is at least as gross as not washing your hands after having a shit, probably a lot more so. I don't get why you wouid take an easily avoidable risk like that, we live in the 21st century.

 

[Orang Utan]

it's ok though, only wimps get food poisoning. tough guys can handle it

Something is either sealed or not sealed, there's no 'moderately well sealed'. Also, it's the fact you're putting utensils in it that each day.

 

[wayward bob]

are we playing russian roulette or have we cultivated kick-ass gut biomes from low-level exposure to pathogens over many years?

the lasagne's been in the oven therefore flies irrelevant.
