Your schtick is so predictable another poster made a satirical post mocking you and you still made an almost identical post with the same lines you put in all these threads.

My post consisted of beneficial information. So you admit I regularly post beneficial information?

Someone asks a question, do you not want me to answer because my answer is the same as last time?

WTF do you want, bro? The food board is to talk about food and answer food related questions. Should I lie next time someone asks a question that I can answer?

I've put large pots of gumbo, etouffee, fricassee, etc. in the fridge for years. Reheated on the stove the next day. Tastes even better, and I'm still around shitposting on this board.

You'll be fine. I hope.

It's not ifeal but you'll likely be fine. Yes bacteria can grow but it usually takes a little longer.
Refrigeration is only about a hundred years old. Our anecdotes
Ancestors likely left gumbo in the danger zone for long stretches.

For future cool down. I usually have frozen water bottles. I learned that trick when cooking 5 gallon batches of sauces in kitchen settings where we only had 4 hours to get it down below 40°.
58 is a little warm but also not likely that anything formed in the gumbo that fast.
I understand Safe Serve but i would still eat it.

Put entire pot (after cooling a bit) into fridge at about 8:30pm last night.



Every single time I make gumbo I plan on eating it 2 nights in a row and I just put the whole pot in the fridge like you did.

Never had a problem.

Next night, put the pot back in the stove to heat up, make a fresh pot of rice and we are good to go

I would throw it away, but that’s just me. If I have to question it, it’s not worth the risk.

Put a bag of ice in your sink with water. Sit pot in until it gets below 100 degrees. Put in fridge. This is how restaurants cool down pots of soup etc.

This post needs an update… did he take his chances or did he toss it?

FTR- I would have taken my chances as long as it didn’t smell sour

I don’t even use ice. I just put the whole pot in my utility sink and fill the sink with cold tap water, stir until the water in the sink gets warm, drain and refill, repeat until temp drops.

I tried the frozen water battles and they turned into greased pigs. Maybe I should skim my gumbo more.

That's like getting two birds stoned at the same time. You cooled it and skimmed it.

I set it in a sink full of water plus put a zip lock bag of ice cubes in the middle.

This to cool it down quick before putting into the freezer. I fill a 2 liter with water and put it in the freezer a day or two before I make a gumbo.

Not sure what the DVs are all about.
