Hi Jill,

Not sure where I read it, but it was a creditable source . . . cooked meat and poultry should not be left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours. As they say, "Better to be safe than sorry." . . . most especially for those of us with compromised digestive systems to begin with.

Sorry all your hard work will go down the drain . . . better the food, than you.

Well wishes to all. ferna, UC/CD, SCD 97, 05, 06, No Meds

Hi All,

Perhaps I'm panicking a bit, but I made a cooked chicken lasagna last night, and then accidentally left it out (covered) on the countertop overnight, for approx. 10 hours. Now I'm worried about salmonella. Is this a valid concern?

Thanks for any insights,

Jill

Cooking it again at high temperature for at least 20 minutes might make

it safe. It's standard procedure if suspect botulism in home canned

foods.
