Making a chilli now, what to do with it overnight?

[SPBHatesFootball]

It is bubbling away at the moment, should be done in about half an hour - would you leave it out in the kitchen overnight with the lid almost fully on?
Don't see that I have a lot of choice

No, I would put it in the fridge. Let it cool for 15 minutes and then into the fridge.
Not ideal, but better than leaving it out overnight.

Yes.

I would just stick a lid on the pan properly, it will be fine
I do it regularly

Yes, I would leave it to cool over night. I would cover with the lid almost fully on or a tea towel.

I do this all the time. Make curry/chilli and leave it overnoght with the lid on. Flobulation is the word we use in our house. It ALWAYS tastes better the next day. Noone died yet....

It will be fine overnight with the lid on, I do it all the time...you've made me fancy chilli now

yes, thats my worry ricepudding
mimsy, i really don't think it will have cooled much at all in 15mins, will take hours
and i'll be up at 5
would it change things radically if i said we had a 'drinks fridge' i could empty? would that be safer?

food by stealth, sorry

Just leave it in the pan with the lid on overnight - I guarantee it will NOT kill you or anyone else in the house.

Heat it up properly tomorrow and it will be fine.

I would put it in my slow cooker.

well, it's all in the fgreezer now
if i stpo posting in a few days time, take that to mean it's not a good idea
