I'm so sad. Left chili out all night.?!


Question: I'm so sad!. Left chili out all night!.!?
So I made a huge pot of chili on Saturday!. I ate some late night!.

Came home today all hungry for it, went into the fridge to grab it, but it wasn't there!!
The pot was sitting on the counter!. I never put it back last night!.

I'M SO PISSED OFF!! There was like 5-6 more servings in there!! What a waste of TIME and MONEY!. Only good news is I did freeze some (not a lot)!. It's also sad cuz I dont cook a lot and I was all proud of myself, it was so good!.

Have you ever done something similar!? What have you done!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I just did something similar last weekend with my Portuguese Bean Soup!. Luckily I woke in the night to get some water and saw it still sitting on the stove!. I guess it had been there a few hour or so (not positive because my husband made it after I went to bed)!. I put it in the refrigerator and ate it the next two nights and it was OK!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The closer it gets to 24 hours out the more likely I am to not eat it!. If it's something I left out at night I'll eat it in the morning!. But that's just me!. I have a gut of steel!. When I was homeless I ate garbage!. Another thing, if it's cold outside it might have gotten a little cold on the stove!. Not recommending it, but I'm sure I'd live!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I do that all the time but i am less concerned than you!. I personally don't feel that leaving something like chili out and then eating it is dangerous!. Obviously there are things though that cannot be left out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

What I've done is so awful, I can't tell you!.

I will say that if you bring the pot to a boil again for about 10 minutes, you'll kill any bacteria that have developed and have all your chili back!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have left cookie dough out and have even made it, and then put it in the fridge and forgot about it so it went bad!. I know how you feel! lol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i forgot my noodles being cooked and when i came back, it was really stuck to the pot so i had a lot of cleaning to do lolWww@FoodAQ@Com

I cooked for Thanksgiving and invited my great grandma with her nasty fingernails, she goes to the dishes and scoops food out with them, so gross!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
