Miss Peregrine Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I cooked two chickens last night. I was going to make broth after we ate. I threw the bones(cooked) in a pot with the 2 necks(raw), vegetables, and covered it all with water. My intention was to turn it on when I went to bed and let it cook all night. I found it this morning still.:glare: The temps were in the low-mid 60's last night. The heater wasn't on and the kitchen window was open a few inches. It didn't smell bad and I turned it on immediately to start simmering. Should I even bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomLovesClassics Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 No I would throw it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 No way am I risking eating that or serving it to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravengal Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 If the mixture does not smell 'off' or spoiled, I'd boil the heck out of it for an hour or so, then simmer for the rest of the day. We have never had a case of food poisoning in my twenty years of housekeeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abreakfromlife Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 if you boil it for a long time, I don't see what the problem is....that will kill all the germs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueridge Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 If the food was expensive...like an entire pot of stew with 5 pounds of organic stew meat in it, I would probably boil it and try not to worry. But since it's just chicken broth that is reasonably cheap (not as tasty, but inexpensive) to replace, I would chunk it. Chicken is the absolute worst salmonella magnet. FYI-I heard on TV today that some study revealed that SUN TEA could actually be dangerous. Unless the jar was sterilized and the water purified before placing in the sun, the little beasties in the water could multiply extremely rapidly in the warm environment all day long. :tongue_smilie: Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hana Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'd throw it, and I'm usually less cautious than most in this area. Chicken, all night, nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
