[AVAFREAK182]

My gf left chinese food out from 7pm. its now 1:25.

Can I reheat it? Its general tso chicken FWIW

 

[guyver01]

yes. nuke it good.

i've left chinese food out at 2 in the afternoon... and nuked it for dinner at 8pm and haven't died yet.

just make sure you nuke it so it gets real hot.

I nuked it for 2 min and it was sizzling pretty good. Eating now. Yum

6 hours ain't nothing. 12 is starting to push it though.

I won't lie, i've gotten belligerently drunk and ordered pizza, woken up in the morning and been like "AHA I ordered pizza!" and then nuked it for a minute or two and promptly scarfed it down.

Seriously? Yeah you can eat it. Food doesn't need to go to the fridge between bites. Even left out overnight, probably fine.

Reheated general tso's is usually awful though, gets really soggy and nasty. You can reheat it with better results in a frying pan.

I typically leave me pizza out overnight so I have a snack the next day. I thought everyone did this?

really depends on the room temperature. 20C, no problem, 30C, not a good idea.

Should be fine.
At worst, your body rejects it and lets you know by getting rid of it.
