Left frozen shepherds pie out in kitchen overnight to defrost - will it be ok to eat today?

[Holymoly321]

I meant to leave a frozen portion of sheperds pie in the fridge over night to defrost, but left it out in the kitchen instead. it's now in the fridge, but will it be ok to eat tonight or should I chuck it?

it'll be absolutely fine as long as you heat it properly

no i'd have it tonight, put it in the fridge today and have it tonight - will be lovely.

I would eat it.

Eat it

yes

Even though it had already been cooked once - when I first made it?

eat it.

That's how I always defrost things

Not a problem - just make sure it's piping hot all the way through when you eat it.

thanks all - really didn't want to have to make the DC's something else for their dinner!

i normally defrost overnight out of fridge

just make sure you heat well

I always leave things out overnight to defrost, they stay frozen if i put them in the fridge. I put them straight into the fridge then when i get up in the morning.

I always leave stuff out overnight to defrost. I i try and defrost stuff in the fridge i'd be waiting days for it.

Same here - I never defrost in fridge as it would take forever.

I never defrost in fridge either.

I always defrost out of the fridge/on the bunker , didnt realise it was a problem
