Pot of red beans on stove overnight
Posted on 4/23/18 at 8:28 am

All cooked with pickled pork cooked in and cooked sausage added shortly before I turned off the fire. Turned off the heat about 9:00. Forgot to put it in the fridge (meant to do so before I went to bed) and woke up in a panic at 6:00 and did so.
It was on the stove in a covered pot the whole time.
Will I kill my family if we heat it up again and eat it tonight?

Where do I send flowers?

I’d still eat it. If you killed the heat at 9, it would have taken a few hours to cool down before putting it in the fridge anyway.

I’d eat it no regrets

That will be fine.

Should be fine. Maybe reheat a bit longer than usual.

Just reheat it up to a rolling boil for a few minutes before you eat it again. That will kill whatever was growing in there overnight.

you're good. it's the same thing as eating it for lunch and leaving it all day on the stove for supper. families do that all the time for sunday lunches.

You'll be fine. My in laws have lunch ready for 11 on Sunday and dont put it in the fridge till 6 or 7 at night...... no one has gotten sick. Just reheat it over 160 for 3 minutes.

Isn’t this a similar way all those people got sick from jambalaya in LA about a year ago? Some type of fund raiser I thought. Hundreds got sick if I remember correctly

I would eat the hell out of it
Posted on 4/23/18 at 10:57 am to Y.A. Tittle
It's fine. We left ours out every Monday for longer than that. No one died

Would I kill my family....

I don't eat anything that includes meat or fish that I leave out all night. Cooked or not.
I am sure you would be OK though, but I would not chance it.

The rule is 4 Hours in the “Danger Zone” which is 40-140* farenheit. Some bacteria can be killed by reheating above 165 like Ecoli. Other bacteria produce toxins that are temperature stable up to hundreds of degrees. These include Salmonella and Botchulism. The bacteria die, but the chemical toxins that make you sick (or kill you) are not destroyed by reheating.
The odds that healthy people with properly working immune systems will get sick are low for any given situation, but you are rolling the dice anytime you eat food that exceeds the reccomended time in the danger zone.
Will you or your family get sick? Probably not. Could you get sick? Possibly.
This is the answer that food scientists would give you. I know this because I’ve been working with them directly for over 20 years.

Its fine
Posted on 4/23/18 at 8:57 pm to Y.A. Tittle
I've done shite like that all the time. Never had any ill effects.

Only detail I'd like to see is pot type.
I'd feel a bit more comfortable if it was ceramic cast iron, for instance - that would hold heat much longer.
You are likely fine, but all of the previous replies on the "danger zone" are legit.
If the pot was covered and hot when you turned it off, pretty unlikely any microbes had a sex party overnight.
I see you added "cooked sausage" before you killed the fire...was said sausage cold? That's an added risk factor.
Key word in all of this is "risk" - you are mostly likely fine regardless.
