morning all...I've been quiet because its been a time but I'm here. Right now I need some advice - I left my spag bol cooling on the bench and left it there overnight (about 8 hours). Its now in the fridge
Should I eat it?
Have your say!
I would not.
Eight hours gives a fair bit of time for bacteria to multiply, so there is a risk of food poisoning if you eat it. Boiling the food will generally kill the bacteria, but if they have produced toxins they can take a bit longer - Staphylococcus aureus takes over an hour of boiling to destroy the toxins they produce. There has probably not been enough time for significant levels of toxin to have been produced (how long that is depends on the temperature, so not possible to really know, but it takes over 10 hours at 37 degrees, the lower the temperature of the food the longer it takes).
I'd probably eat it, but would definitely make sure it is brought to the boil and simmered for a while, not just reheated.
I’m so knackered. I’m just not bouncing back from activity like a normal person. Woke up at like 9-10ish pm and did the meds and food in intervals.
I’ve been trying to rest up for going to the dentist today but haven’t managed much more sleep.
Looks amazing! 🤤
Edit: Damn it! I always do this when replying to a comment at the top.
Guessing you meant to reply to the big raven?
Unless you think I look amazing, in which case, I can assure you, I do not
Wow, I wasn't joking - I really did break the postal system by redirecting that express post parcel from the NBN
