Did you know 500 years ago people used to eat potatoes and salted dried beef that had been sitting in barrels for months? Being in the middle of the Atlantic ocean kinda sucked.

I think you'll live.

wth? Eating overnight pizza doesn't kill you, doesn't make you sick, and isn't as bad as not washing your ass for a couple of days. Relax guy, really...

That's debatable. I know I'm a fairly clean person and have proper hygien but I wouldn't hesitate to eat leftover pizza ;)

This sounds like a common occurrence for some people in this thread. Why not just use a damn refrigerator after you're done eating so you don't take the chance of food poisoning

I certainly wouldn't eat it after 12 hours. I once got myself a serious food poisoning from eating left over food that wasnt in the fridge. Lesson learned.
Call me a pussy but when i can avoid to feel like i'm dieing i will do it.

Just overnight? damn, I'd understand if you had your doubts about a week, but overnight, if it doesn't have egg...

There's half of the pie left and it sat in the oven overnight. Pepperoni and sausage ~12 hours old. If I turn the oven on again and lightly cook it, would it be safe to eat?

I eat it all the time, but there is nothing like COLD PAPA JOHNS pizza in the morning. Specifically papa johns, put it in the fridge. Amazing.

I don't understand. Why are you sitting here making threads when there's leftover pizza that hasn't been eaten?

When I was a teenager, I ate leftover pizza that sat in a box under the seat of my car for five days. It was just cheese, but I lived. And with no ill side-effects, either!

It helps if you state what 'food' was left overnight in your fridge.

I need to know if a smiley is needed or not.

Which includes pepperoni, btw :p

Dried/cured meats are generally pretty safe. Honestly, pizza from a national chain pizzaria is gonna be pretty safe for a long time. Every component of it is preservative-laden or dried to begin with. Pizzas with a lot of veggies would be the only thing I'd worry about.

In the "how do I unsaltify this food?" thread I told a guy to leave food sitting out for an hour next to a bowl of hot water so the water could absorb the salt, and somehow people got on me FOR TELLING HIM TO LEAVE THE FOOD OUT FOR AN HOUR. Really, THAT is what was wrong with my advice? My mind was blown.

I'm not sure what to make of the 'bowl of hot water' thing. Part of what makes a pizza left out to sit in an oven overnight safe imo is that it is dry and already cooked. Deliberately making food wet *does* increase the odds of it getting something bad in it, especially if it also makes it warm at the same time.

My cavalier attitude to food left out might also be because I live in a very very dry place.

Haven't you ever put a book under your pillow when you forgot to study? It's the same principle.

Pizza will not go bad that fast, unless you have non cured meats on there (steak strips, chicken, etc...). Even non cured meats should last 12 hours or more before beginning to spoil. The only questionable component is cheese, but I'm assuming it'll last for a day or so before going bad on you.

I once made sandwiches with butter that was more than 3 years past it's expiration date.

First day was fine, second day was okay, but the 3rd day it smelled very sour, so that's when I checked the expiration date and threw it away. :lol
Never got any side effects from eating it though.

Dude! There's nothing better than a pizza from the night before when you suddenly got the munchies after all the beer, ordered a pizza but couldn't fit it all in. So you put it in the refrigerator and wake up next morning with what is the best hangover breakfast EVER.

Considering the process of drying and curing meats hasn't really changed that much in all those years, I don't think it had anything at all to do with the meat people ate. Sailors had more issue with not getting fruit, too.

I've seen this talked about a fair amount now on GAF, and I'm truly amazed at how afraid people are to eat food that's been left out for a while. I've even heard in another topic people saying food that's been out for an hour (AN HOUR) should be thrown out. Jesus Christ. . .
