Will this make me ill??!

[mumofjust1]

Ok, had my tea and am now worrying it will make me ill :(

I brought fresh pork mince this afternoon - looked and smelled fine. Made chilli con carne for mr and my daughter. She ate hers as soon as it was done. I left it on the hob to cool down before putting it in the fridge.

Decided I wanted to eat at 6 (2 hours after my daughter) and it was still warm so heated it back up. It was piping hot when I ate it.

Now panicking that I might not have heated it long enough - 2.5 minutes as I had the microwave on

If it wasn't heated long enough - even though it was really hot, not just warm - will it make me ill?

Panicking of London!

No, it'll be absolutely fine, no time for bacteria to grow

Thanks Bellagio! You really think so?

My dd poisoned me a couple of years ago with reheated bolognaise - it's the first time I've eaten mince since

Totally fine I promise, and I'm mega paranoid food chucker-outer! Please don't worry [sm

Wooops pressed send too fast

Thanks for the reassurance - I'm so worried coz of last time!

I know I'm probably just being paranoid, but can't help it

Oh no, that will be absolutely fine. Think about it, you would refrigerated leftovers, but you can't do that until they are cool. Your's hadn't even got that far.

Good point Sarah, thanks
