Fish Pie Question 🥧

Just to reiterate- it was a fish pie

If it’s really cold I wouldn’t worry about it but reheat it very well just in case. Only one day mind, after that it goes to the pussy cats!

I'd risk it.

I would heat it up again in the oven, covered with foil. Make sure it is piping hot!

With reservations.

Have you got a meat thermometer to test it?
If you heat it sufficiently will it dry out?

I probably wouldn't risk it but my immune system is iffy.

I’d certainly reheat it - should be perfectly fine. Never waste a good fish pie😋

Yes put it back in the oven. covered and cook till piping hot! Yummy you've made me fancy one now

Heat and eat from me too. Yum

I would certainly reheat it, wouldn't think once, leet alone twice. No risk at all. reheat it in a microwave and if the top should be crisp, then pop it under the grill.

I wouldn’t waste it. I’d do as others have suggested and reheat it, overheat if necessary.

Thanks all!

I don’t have a meat thermometer no.
I’ll try it and see how it goes.
The dog absolutely loves fish, so it won’t go to waste!

Did you cook it from raw the first time?

If it was already cooked and you were heating it up, it would mean you were reheating twice, I wouldn't reheat twice, after eating it would play on my mind for 24hrs waiting for adverse reactions.

What would concern me would be the fact that the pie stayed in your oven, just very gradually cooling down when you turned the oven off.
You say your kitchen was as cold as a fridge last night, but I do wonder about that.
I have got a little weather station in my kitchen which displays the temperature both inside and outside, including the minimum/maximum.
I got up this morning soon after the heating came on and the device showed that my kitchen hadn’t dropped below 14 deg overnight. No heating on.

Now fridges I believe run at about 3 degrees, so unless your kitchen really does get exceptionally cold at night, I think it wouldn’t have been cold enough to be sure the pie is safe to eat.

I wouldn’t risk it, but maybe I’m too fussy as others seem to think it would be ok.

Right, I’m totally torn, which is why I posted this in the first place - I think that Gracie eating the fish will be the best compromise.
I can’t risk things with MrC.
And Gracie is such a good girl, she deserves it

Here she is chillaxing after an exhausting morning at the groomer’s

It’s a difficult one isn’t it Fanny ?
I know I am definitely in the ‘if in doubt, chuck it out’ way of thinking, but then maybe I’m too fussy, and perhaps I have thrown food away which would have been perfectly fine if reheated correctly.

Food poisoning is particularly nasty though isn’t it, and the pie won’t be wasted if your dog will eat it !

She looks beautiful!

Absolutely not!
If it has prawns in it then you would mad to eat it!
The food needs to have been quickly chilled after cooking for it to be safe, a long slow decrease in heat is the best breeding ground for bacteria.

If it was cooked to the correct temperature (more than 60 degrees C) the first time there shouldn't have been any live bacteria in it to multiply during the cooling down.

I'd reheat and eat it.

I'd make some sauce to pour over it after it's reheated, just in case it's a bit dry.

Having had dogs with CDiff I wouldn’t give my dog this. I know it is a waste but put it in the bin, it is not worth the risk.

Having had dogs with CDiff I wouldn’t give my dog this. I know it is a waste but put it in the bin, it is not worth the risk.

But I cooked it (not from raw) and it’s been in a cold environment.
Surely it’s okay for the dog?
No prawns in it.

Thank you Jennifer, she is!

Surely it’s okay for the dog

Does she have a cast iron stomach?
