Help, DH left food out all night and saying its safe

Sorry posted this twice as I need a quick answer and it does fit in AIBU.

I am so angry this morrning, I slow cooked a beautiful whole shoulder of lamb yesterday, last night it came out of the oven at 8pm. I was planning on using it to batch freeze meals like shepards pies for my little boy and after the pregnancy. I was shattered (pregnant) and asked husband to put it in the fridge to cool after an hour so I could make the meals to go in the freezer today.

I come down this morning and to find its been left out all night, I put it in the fridge at 7am.

Can we eat this now? Can I use it for my freezer meals...

My husband thinks I am being ridiculous as I say that there is potential now that it could be unsafe, he says that all bugs are dead in it because I cooked it so long!!! I think slowly cooling like that and staying at room temperature is very bad.

Anyway, am I being OTT? We haven't got money to burn, this is a £22 shoulder that was to make a huge batch of lovely shepards pies for us and my son when the baby arrives and also ragu for pasta....I just feel gutted. Why didn't he do as I say?????????????

Eh? More lies.

Go away

Hides thread

valiumredhead · 16/09/2012 23:15

I think this is a classic example of the typed word being harsher than the spoken word.

If solesource had posted 'you must be a nightmare to live with Grin' it would've been seen a completely different way.

you must be a nightmare to live with Grin
you must be a nightmare to live withSad
you must be a nightmare to live with Hmm
you must be a nightmare to live withAngry

Exactly the same sentence but all meaning different things.

This is why we need to use smilies Grin

I'll bog off now Blush

porcamiseria · 16/09/2012 23:18

oh dont solespource! I was being random....

Thanks

its just you remind me of me when I used to post a bit thats all....

oh dear

porcamiseria · 16/09/2012 23:24

have just apologised to sole

I completely muddled her with someone else who has been super mean recently

SoleSource · 16/09/2012 23:34

When I post I talk pf my own experience. WhenOP replied she got that. Then random poster calls me snipey on all of my posts. Total lies.

tethersend · 16/09/2012 23:49

No help with the lamb, but Solesource was especially lovely to me on my thread yesterday.

porcamiseria · 17/09/2012 00:10

i feel terrible now!

anyway OP....its too late now as you have either binned, or ate!!!

SarahStratton · 17/09/2012 00:20

Solesource is lovely and I kind of agree with her anyway.

And the lamb will be absolutely fine.

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 17/09/2012 00:29

the OP agreed with solesource, fgs.

i'd say the shredding of the lamb is the key difference here. bigger surface area + warm kitchen + pregnancy... i'd not risk it. and i speak as someone who is positively cavalier about these things.

dikkertjedap · 17/09/2012 02:25

Not safe I am afraid

EdMcDunnough · 17/09/2012 10:00

I'm glad if Solesource is indeed lovely.

As I said I've no idea, I was just offended at her comment at the start of the thread and thought it unnecessary.

I can't recall any of her posts elsewhere.

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 17/09/2012 10:04

that's all we need on here, more offended people...

valiumredhead · 17/09/2012 10:09

Blimey, there's more to be offended by on AIBU than anything that's been said on this thread!

SoleSource · 17/09/2012 10:11

Thank you for the apology.

EdMcDunnough · 17/09/2012 10:14

Aitch not sure what you mean...probably I should have left it and not come back, but I didn't want people to think I was having a big old go at someone I barely know.

anyway...

EdMcDunnough · 17/09/2012 10:15

and it wasn't me who said she was snipey on all her posts.

expatinscotland · 17/09/2012 10:16

I wouldn't use it. But I'm probably paranoid about food poisoning due to past experiences.

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 17/09/2012 10:32

i guess what i mean is that i can't think why you would have bothered your bottom to be 'offended' when the OP herself had already answered solesource and plainly wasn't bothered by what she wrote. and yet because you were offended you were demanding an apology on the OP's behalf. spare us.

EdMcDunnough · 17/09/2012 10:47

Oh because I don't always see subsequent posts by other people when I'm replying to a thread. I read as far as till something makes me want to comment, then I comment.

And I still think it was an arsey comment, whatever the OP thought.

What is the big deal?

EdMcDunnough · 17/09/2012 10:48

God I wish I'd left it now.

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 17/09/2012 10:53

i don't know what the big deal is, never did.
i do think, however, that if you're not even reading threads before commenting, you do have to take it on the chin when you make an arse of it, that's all.

EdMcDunnough · 17/09/2012 10:54

I didn't make an arse of it imo. Sometimes people take comments that they shouldn't have to take.

and afaik I have done all I can to set it straight.
