aggieamy Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Last night I put pinto beans in the crockpot to cook and then this morning I turned them off with the intention of putting them in the fridge. I completely forgot about them and left them sitting on the counter! It was probably in the mid-60's all day and there was no meat in them -only spices. Would you eat these beans or would you throw them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'd eat them. I wouldn't feed them to any young children, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW - My family vacationed at Lake Geneva every summer growing up and we now take our kids camping at Lake Carlos. Love that area! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyBre Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 If they remained covered all day, I'd eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or anyone who doesn't have the immune system to kill off the few germs that may have been growing. I drank the water in Mexico and ate hot dogs from a street vendor there without getting sick, though, so take my judgment with a grain of salt, lol. Do you visit Lake Carlos State Park? We go fishing and have cookouts there all the time in the summer- maybe you'll see us there. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) We'd eat them. Rosie Edit: I'd rinse them first, though. Edited April 22, 2010 by Rosie_0801 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 No way.... I don't mess with the beans thing if there's a question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpidarkomama Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 My microbiologist husband would eat them and feed them to the kids (and wife!), assuming they were *never* left uncovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Since there was no meat, I'd probably eat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you eat these beans or would you throw them out? We'd eat them. I'd eat them even if there was meat in them. In the distant past, I'd have tossed them out but during my homeschool years, so many soups/stews/baked or roasted meats were inadvertently left out over night or all day and were always fine. Every time. K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 They were covered all day so I guess we'll eat them for dinner tonight. Hope we'll be okay. *fingers crossed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirrellyMama Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I would eat them. I'd probably heat them well first but I'd still eat them. Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
