Cooked a chicken dish in the slow cooker. Ate it for tea. Leftovers decanted into tupperware AND LEFT OUT OVERNIGHT 😭😭

AIBU to throw it away?
What would you do?

If no heating overnight I’d put it in the fridge now and heat thoroughly before eating. In the summer or a heated house, I’d bin it.

Please don’t feed it to the dog if it’s got onion or garlic in it.

I’d chuck it in the fridge now. If it was summer I’d throw it away, but my house gets pretty cold at night. But I’d make sure it was boiling hot when I reheated it. DH wouldn’t eat it, but then he doesn’t eat anything past a best before date 🙄

Depends how hot your house is. If it’s really warm I’d give it to the cat or dog if you have one. I’ve been known to take a chance and I’m still here to tell the tale, but I think official advice is to throw it away

Was your heating on or off overnight?

Cook it properly later and it'll be fine. I'm very laissez faire.
