DesertBlossom Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Last night I put several pounds of chicken in the IP to shred for dinner tonight and tomorrow. When it was done cooking and the pressure released, I unplugged it so it would cool down.... and then totally forgot about it until this morning. The chicken was room temperature, but the lid had never been removed after it was done cooking. I shredded it and put it in the fridge this morning. Bot meals I intended to use it for will cook it again. (chicken pillows and chicken taquitos) I don't have any more chicken in the freezer so if I don't use it I will need to run to the store or change my menu plans for today and tomorrow. I know the right answer is probably no, and I suppose I could use it as dog training treats, but it's a lot of chicken to go to waste. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvToRead Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 No, I wouldn't eat it. I agree it's a lot to waste, but I wouldn't risk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scholastica Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 If you’re going to cook it again, I wouldn’t worry about it. If it smelled or tasted off, I would pitch it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I would eat it. It had been thoroughly cooked and kept in the closed container that had been heated i.e. sterilized, so I don't see how any contamination could have happened overnight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I'm pretty cavalier about eating things that have been left out, so when I say no, that's like three of everybody else's "no". 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pen Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Yes. If it didn’t seem off. I’d bring it back to pressure for at least two minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 *I* would eat it, but wouldn't feed it to my family. I have a stomach of steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I probably would not use it. I am paranoid, and with several small children, I would not want to take the risk. Overnight is just a bit too long for my comfort, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know how an instant pot works. However, I have to say that I just googled chicken pillows. Wow, those sound delicious. I am going to make them this week! So, even though I am entirely useless to you, this thread has been very useful to me. Is there a specific chicken pillow recipe you suggest? Mine comes from a family cookbook. "Homemade" using pre-made ingredients. 4 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed or shredded 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup 8 oz cream cheese 4 T soft butter 1/8 t pepper 2 cans Pillsbury crescent dinner rolls (get 3 just in case) 6 T melted butter bread crumbs SAUCE: 1 can Cream of Chicken soup 1/2 can evaporated milk 1 C sour cream Preheat oven to 375. Mix chicken, cream of mushroom soup, cream cheese, butter and pepper together. Shape rolls into squares and add approx 1/2 C chicken filling in center. Fold edges and tuck under to form pillow. Roll in butter and dip in crumbs. Bake at 375 for 15 to 20 minutes. In a sauce pan, add cream of chicken soup, evaporated milk and sour cream and heat through. Pour over cooked chicken pillows. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertBlossom Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 In the end, I used the chicken for chicken pillows last night. It's been 24 hours and no has come down with food poisoning yet, so I think we are clear. :P Phew! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
