AIBU to say this is not safe to eat?

[TheChinkOfaGlass]

My partner planned to make an easy slow cooker curry today. When I came home yesterday, he had the raw chicken thighs in the fridge along with the curry sauce he is cooking it in (all this in the internal bowl of slow cooker might I add, so he could just pop it in the main slow cooker this morning to put on).

I have said I don't feel safe eating that when raw meat has been swimming in it all night, even if it is thoroughly cooked through.

YABU - DP is right, its safe
YANBU - do NOT eat the curry

Not only very safe but tastier for it. Both the sauce and the chicken will now cook wonderfully together. Pretty much how most restaurants would do it.

And you're basing that upon this thread, where literally one person in more than 50 is 'handwringing'?

Have you ever been to a restaurant OP?

IT WAS IN THE FRIDGE! Do you think the fridge only works if food is kept in it's original packaging?! Come on OP, surely you're not that daft!

Errrmmm it’s completely normal and safe OP, I’m sure it will be a tasty curry.

Have you never heard of a marinade? Seriously - if this is new to you, maybe a cookery class would give you more confidence and knowledge about cooking methods?

This reminds me of the thread where the OP was horrified her husband cooked the potatoes under the chicken in the roasting tray because the raw chicken juice was on them

You do realise the raw meat becomes cooked meat once you turn the slow cooker on for the required time.

He's just marinated the chicken before cooking. It's a perfectly normal vooking technique that should give tge meal more flavour.

It was all going to be cooked....different if he had put it in another bowl cooked it then used original unclean bowl...or set aside sauce uncooked and poured over cooked food.

What exactly are you worried about op? It's called marinating and a perfectly normal, safe cooking practice.

I haven't eaten meat for 45 years but if it's all being cooked through thoroughly, I don't see the problem.

The chicken leaps out of container and tours the cheese and cooked meat section on its final night of life.

I really fancy a curry now!

Wtf, I have literally chopped carrots, onions, garlic and chicken thighs and they are in the slow cooker (with a jar of Chicken tonight plus extra seasoning mixed in - yep really). It’s in the fridge ready to come out at 8am tomorrow. Alexa is set for 10am to remind DH to turn it on.
I do this at least twice a week and have done for at least 2 decades.

Unless he wasn't planning on cooking the sauce then it's fine. Anything bad that would have leaked from the chicken to the sauce will be killed in the cooking process just as it would be if it was still in the chicken.

Wait when you learn how bone stock is made🙈

How can someone not know that this is how you marinade meat to make a curry? Fuck sake. Some people are utterly hopeless. We need to teach financial planning and nutrition in school, post haste.

I'm the fussiest person on the planet and hate dealing with raw chicken....it makes me want to go full hazmat suit when I'm dealing with it, i worry about the potential for being ill from it.....I really am soooo careful re chicken contamination! But even I wouldn't have a problem with this. Do you not think that if the meal has been cooked thoroughly enough to kill the bacteria in the chicken it will have done the same job on the bacteria in the sauce? Surely that's common sense??

Wouldn’t you eat raw chicken if it had been kept in a bowl overnight? What difference is it if the chicken has had sauce kept with it so long as it is then cooked properly?

If cooking didn’t make something that had been sitting with raw meat overnight safe to eat than how would cooking raw meat make the meat itself safe to eat?

I'm so confused

Chicken marinated in the fridge overnight? Yabvu!!
It will taste awesome 👌

It’s a marinade … in a fridge.. which will then be cooked . Of course it’s fine!

According to the poll as I type, 2% of 555 people think she is nbu. So 11 people.

raw meat will become cooked meat, where is the issue?
