mommylawyer Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I made chicken & dumplings for dinner last night. The leftovers were put in a sealed plastic container for dinner tonight, but (silly me) I left them on the counter. We left the house early this morning and ate out, so I just discovered this a few minutes ago. So... can I reheat them (and hope none of us has to go to the emergency room later on)? Or I toss them (as my gut is telling me)? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plain jane Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Chicken? :eek: I'd dump it. It's just not worth the risk. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danestress Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I hate to think what it might tell you later:) Toss it. Seriously, I would not risk that. There are a lot of things I will risk, but chicken and dumplings on the counter for almost 24 hours? Not on a bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I would toss them. I might eat something left overnight, but not left for a full day. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
believe in miracles Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I did the exact same thing last week!! We made chicken and left it out until morning. DH and I didn't want to waste it, so we ate it and didn't give to the kids, just in case. We didn't get sick:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
believe in miracles Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Just noticed that you posted at dinner time.... hmmm.... I think I'd toss if it was out that long too. Ours was just overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommylawyer Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 I agree, I think I'm going to dump it. Thanks for the advice! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
