pregnancy food safety question on roast beef

[Spring Angel]

hun, sorry to harp on but are you cooking it today?

I think with leftovers it must be eaten within the 12 -24 timeframe so it be that they can't eat it anyway.

I'm having the same dilema. All our food for the family Christmas is going to be cooked tomorrow to be served cold on Friday. It will need to be re-heated for me unless bub shows up in the next day

spring - nope, its not cooked yet. was planning on doing it tomorrow afternoon for lunch on Friday.

Maybe my sis (who is also pregnant) and I will just have to reheat our serves on Friday and everyone else can have it cold?

My midwife at the doctors here in Singapore said to me that if you are going to eat hot food, make sure it's REALLY hot, and if cold....really cold. When you are buying cold things from the shops the difference is you don't know what is going on behind the scenes, but cooking at home would be different IMO.

In Singas with it being hot ALL the time, leaving food out is a no no because bacteria grows very quickly. I think if you are cooking and cooling straight away, it will bascially stop that from happening, kind of like Tiffany said.

If you are going to eat the cold meat (well if it was me) I wouldn't let it sit on the plate outside (or in) for 30 mins before you dive in IYKWIM.

thats what I thought too Julia, but we might reheat just to be safe!
