Food safety question
My wife made a big pot of charro beans yesterday. It contained ham, bacon, chorizo and beef hot dogs (don't ask).
We left them on the stove top overnight, the lid slightly askew. Like 1/3".
I'm boling them as I type but unsure if they will be safe to eat.
Opinions?

How long was it in the danger zone? If serving to others I would toss if it was in the zone for more than 4 hours , for me I'd eat it, reheat to 165 and hold for a bitVisalia, Ca @lkapigian

we served around 7:30 PM. So it sat on the stove because it was too warm to put into the refrigerator I was supposed to do it before I went to bed but I fell asleep on the couch, woke up around midnight and just wandered in the bed leaving it on the stove. So it sat on the stove cooling down from about 8 PM until I woke up this morning around 9 AM.Philly - Kansas City - Houston - Cincinnati - Dallas - Houston - Memphis - Austin - Chicago - Austin

looking at that picture, it looks like you did eat it and bad results

had to have been the hot dogs

grew up eating and still do the food overnight on the stove top. really makes me wonder how i get sick from restaurant food where they should know better. i would have ate it even with the hotdogs

When we cook big pots of stuff my wife routinely leaves it on the stove overnight to package the next day. Probably bad practice, but it seems to work.

Brisket Camp lawyer dropped off a quart of his famous vegetarian chili on my front porch a few weeks ago. I forgot about it until the next day. Threw it in the fridge. Couple days later I heated it up to boiling in a pot and ate it.Still alive.Back before refrigeration that was pretty normal. Also, people kept soups/stocks preserved by keeping them hot for days.______________________________________________I love lamp..

im good with 3 to 4 days carving pieces off a tday turkey without refrigeration for sandwiches. then its soup and ive easily gone a month stove top and adding more ingredients and reheating once a day. really push those limits and yet a chicken fried steak took me down once in a restaurant. seems to me they changed the 4 hour rule down to 2 a few years back

Mom used to leave the Tday turkey out all afternoon/evening and we'd eat leftovers until bedtime. No one ever got sick. We weren't as adventurous as fish!
I think the current rule is 2 hrs out of the danger zone.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

cooked foods needing refrigeration need to be cooled to 70 within 2 hours then 70-45 or below within 4 additional hours...this is for cooked meats food containing meat dairy etc............the 4 hour rule ( my understanding ) is additive from process to being cooked
Visalia, Ca @lkapigian -
its 2 2 4 now from what ive read 2 for getting food to fridge, 2 to chill cooked food below 70 and 4 to get it chilled off completely. thats my current understanding and for some reason they are making it more confusing. im perfectly fine with the 4 hours in the danger zone from farm to starting the cook and with 4 hours from the store to the fridge, pretty sure theres a huge safety factor built in.
fukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it -
I’ve done the same thing. General practice here is if it’s been covered the whole time since it was hot/coming off the boil, and doesn’t have dairy, it goes in the fridge in the AM when we discover it. Depends on what’s in it and how good it was the night before.
Love you bro! -
I have done the same thing many times. Usually throw it in the fridge the next morning when discovered. I have finally taught myself to leave the vent a hood light on so I know something is there before I go to bed.Midland, TX XLBGE

Hell, we will leave a box of Popeye's out in the sunshine all day during Mardi Gras. Still good after 12 hours. (But we may be protected by the amount of booze consumed).

We dumped it and it was mighty tasty. Wife was pissed. It was my job to out it away after it cooled down but, you know, bourbon.Philly - Kansas City - Houston - Cincinnati - Dallas - Houston - Memphis - Austin - Chicago - Austin

Some of y'all are so scared of food. If it smells fine, I'll eat it. Only time I ever got food poisoning was freaking Ice Cream.

I would eat it. The only way you'd die from eating a hot dog is to choke on it.
