Quick question, I made a huge roast chook for dinner tonight, heaps of chicken left over, enough to make sandwiches for the kiddies lunch and more! Usually I have the rule of 12 hours, if the food is more than 12 hours old I won't eat it (when pregnant) unless its been frozen. But.... I am wanting to use some of the chicken in a stir fry for dinner tomorrow night... Is it a safe timeframe for a pregnant woman? Silly question?
I think as long as it has been stored correctly and you reheat it at a very high temp it is considered safe :)
I would :)
Thanks mummies, that's what I was hoping to hear :) was shredded & in the fridge within 30mins of coming out of the oven and will stay there til dinner tomorrow... Mmm! Looking forward to it now :) lol, food is always on my mind when pregnant
To be honest, if I was the one cooking, handling and storing it I'd be quite happy to keep it in the fridge for a couple of days and use it. I know where its been, and that its been stored appropriately so I wouldn't be to worried at all
I will eat homemade leftovers for a few days even when pregnant.
I agree with this:
Yep, this definitely!:
Mm, roast chook! Enjoy the stir fry!
If ever in doubt check out an app called "Still Tasty" it's on iOS not sure about android. But it's fantastic. I use it for everything. It has use by times for everything homemade, and commercially prepared. Wouldn't live without it.
When it starts moving again, definitely time to throw it out.
