Help - Im in Seattle and too late to ring anyone - how long can I leave a chicken lasagne sitting around?

[AnnieLaurie]

Helloooooo? Is there anybody awake in the UK?

I have been making a chicken lasagne for the last 2 hrs - is it OK to just have it sit in the kitchen (its still warm) for another 2 hours before it goes in the oven to cook through for an hour?

Sorry, am not the most knowlegeable cook in the world, got people coming over for supper, dont want to take any risks. Should I stick it in the fridge now, even though still warm, and then heat it through from chilled in a couple of hours? Sorry, I get v confused about what is OK when dealing with chicken...

Will await any night owls lurking around who might take pity on me and respond!!

THANKS!!!

You just seem to know so much about cooking/baking, I think it had to be 5 years ago you would post about cooking an egg.

Hi Nooka - yes same in SEattle - sorry DH ans DS just came home so am now distracted making tea for them...

Will wtite more later! Thanks to you all

Ah no, twas about 5 weeks actually

I can cook lots of other things but not boil an egg. My sister just told me that I once rang mum at work to ask the same thing

Have to admit I'm always forgetting how long to do boiled eggs for. I'm a bit of a make it up as you go along cook, and you just can't do that with boiled eggs. A few seconds too much or too little, and they just aren't the same...
