Yesterday’s takeaway!

[ladybird69]

Shit just found my leftover chicken curry in the microwave from last night, I forgot to put it in the fridge. Should I risk it? I would cook it for a longer time. I was really looking forward to it. What would you do?

not if there is rice there

I would and have eaten cooked chicken that's been left out all night and day, never been ill. Though I know it's not for everyone

chicken maybe but not the rice

Bin it! It's been a hot day. Cheese on toast?

I would heat it until it resembles molten lava then eat it!

If it’s a tomato based sauce it might be ok, don’t risk rice though

Yep I would

Disclaimer: no suing if anything happens

I’m very lax about this and I wouldn’t eat the rice or chicken.

I would. I’d eat rice too. Honestly, I’m not all that careful with rice at all and have never been ill. I’m not suggesting everybody fucks off the rules on rice, it’s just never been something I’ve understood 🤷🏻‍♀️

I can be quite fussy with leftovers, but I think I’d possibly risk it depending on what it is and what it currently looks like - ie has the texture or smell changed?

Back in my university days, my flatmates and I would eat leftover takeaway all the time - no one got ill

Left over takeaway is the best thing ever.
I have never been ill from it.

I've done this a fair few tines and I've been fine, even with rice.

I always have leftovers the next day. Just nuke it in the microwave til it's hotter than the sun. Rice included. Delicious!

It’s Chinese chicken curry and rice! It looks ok but I don’t fancy food poisoning so I guess it’s beans on toast. Not quite the same. ☹️

I've never been ill from my reheated takeaway curries etc. But I generally have a pretty iron stomach. DH doesn't so he eats his all on the night (plus he's greedy!).

Google seems to suggest you’re okay if you heat it up very well - use the hob, v high heat for 2 minutes, stir continuously etc. The rice is still risky but again, I’ve never had food poisoning. If anything, just make some fresh rice to be safe
