AIBU to eat the dinner I left out accidentally overnight?

[WattThreeWords]

Gnocchi bake. Gnocchi, pepper, olive oil, tomatoes.

Out of oven 8pm. Realised at 6.30am I hadn’t put in fridge, so put it back then.

AIBU to heat it up for dinner tonight?

YABU - it’s full of toxins and you’re going to thrown your guts up

YANBU - don’t waste that delicious dinner. Heat it up and enjoy

It's been warm overnight. It's not worth the risk of getting food poisoning. It's grim.

I would eat it yes. There's no meat or cheese or rice in it.

I would, as long as it’s heated thoroughly.

I would eat it! I would be tempted to microwave it and then put in oven, just incase

It would depend entirely how hungry I was.

This!!

I’m sure it won’t make you sick. What in that would do it? Is gnocchi potato, I can’t remember.

If you don’t fancy it any more because it’s been left out then that’s absolutely fair. But it would be fine I think.

I would eat it, yes.

Food poisoning from what exactly? There’s no meat, cheese or rice in the dish.

Edit: I’m usually quite strict on things like this but I would eat this no problem.

No i wouldnt. Potato and pasta can cause food poisoning as they have a lot of moisture in them. Gnocchi is cheap enough too.

It'll be fine. I would eat it.

I'd eat. The only things I'm really cautious about are things that contain rice or fish.
In fact I often leave casseroles to cool overnight before freezing.

Obviously heat the hell out of it.

Im pretty cavalier with stuff like this but I wouldn't, unless it eas delicious and having the shits for a few days wasnt going to be a huge problem (not being sarcastic there, that has often been my decider - is it that delicious to chance it? And if i I am really ill, will plans be ruined? If no I might chance it depending on what it is.)

Have to say sweaty little balls of gnocchi sat out all night getting sweatier and more moist would prob be a no based on not being delicious enough to chance it, on balance.

If you're not weak or pregnant, I think it will be fine. If it had been meat, I'd say no. I'd put it in the fridge and then super blast it at 190 or 200 or more.

I'd eat it but make sure it's piping hot when you heat it up

It will be absolutely fine. Just make sure that it is piping hot.

I would absolutely eat it.

veggie gnocchi? Absolutely yes

They're not the only ingredients that can cause food poisoning. Plus if its a ready meal then it'll have preservatives in that deteriorate at room temperature. That's why they're stored on fridges. 😃

No I wouldn't. Isn't there some kind of bacteria in pasta/rice etc that isn't destroyed by cooking? And @Megifer description of the sweaty gnocchi sounds accurate to me

You can get food poisoning from anything. Bacteria love a slow cool down and a night spent in a warm kitchen.

I would slowly heat it to a luke warm temp and then let it cool again to grow the bacteria more efficiently

I do this all the time. With literally everything I cook. Hot food can’t go in the fridge anyway. Needs to cool down, and at that point I’m often zzz anyway. Rice pasta etc gets tidied in the morning all the time. I wouldn’t feed it to my baby but I have no qualms about myself or hubby. No never got sick either.

God yeah. I make chicken soup on a Sunday and leave it on the stove until it runs out.

DP (chef) gets the ick but it’s never killed me yet 🤣

I'd do it and I'd also do it if it contained meat or cheese or basically anything as long as the texture hadn't been ruined somehow.

I've never had food poisoning so I'm probably overly cavalier. But really I don't think the risk of food poisoning is ever that high if the food smells normal and has been properly heated. It seems fairly random as to when people get it.
