Would you eat prawn Chinese takeaway left out overnight then chilled?

[Purplecatshopaholic]

I left some Chinese food on the counter top last night as forgot to put it in the fridge. It’s prawn dish. It’s chilly here overnight and I put it in the fridge first thing this morning. Would you eat it tonight?

No

Blimey! I should have been dead years ago.

Yeah I would

Yep I would eat - kitchen is cold and as long as throughly heated. I've survived lol, hope you do to OP.

No and I don't usually take much notice of use by dates etc.

However my dad did this sort of thing quite regularly and was never ill, so maybe I'm being overly cautious

My kitchen was bloody freezing last night , so yes I would.

For prawns no longer than 2 hours, if room temp is above 32deg then no longer than an hour

Prawns I would. Not rice though.

Me too and yet here I am at 49 having never ever suffered from food poisoning.

No!

Yes definitely

I have done this multiple times haha, if it was the summer and boiling hot id probably give it a miss tbh

No, I’d not enjoy it or the hours after, I’d be waiting for my gastrointestinal system to complain, even if it never happened.

DS does this all the time. I keep telling him they need to be in the fridge. He's never been ill from them though.

Probably but Im in Scotland and the heating is off at night. We’re good at putting stuff in the fridge though so unlikely to happen and prawn stuff gets prioritised for eating

I hate prawns so it’s an easy no from me.

I would eat it!🫣

Oh good lord no! Especially if it has prawns in it!

Why did you bother asking Mumsnet then?!

Yes definitely

I've done this several times a week for about 35 years.

What should have happened?

And yes I would have eaten the OPs Chinese prawns.

Yeah why ask if you're eating them. Hard no from me 🤢

Oh don't be silly, at home how does one get things cold enough for the fridge from piping hot within 60 minutes?

I have.

No
