OK this is serious... even if I get it from Village Inn?

Mmmmm, raw eggs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241984 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:12:05 +0000 BSB 241984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you're fine. If it was Italian dressing marinade, then I would cook with it. I think it depends on the marinade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241774 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:56:02 +0000 Freckles 241774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as you aren't basting the meat with the marinade throughout the baking process, you are fine. (Most recipes will say to set aside some of the marinade before putting the meat in it, and use that to baste.) I am sure we have all done worse! If you are okay now, I'm sure there was no harm done to the baby. I used to freak out when I was pregnant as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241760 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:43:11 +0000 Mrsbells 241760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always cook in the marinade </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241759 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 09:41:11 +0000 wheres_c 241759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm vegetarian - but I am always afraid I'm going to poison SO when I cook him meat. I don't know most of these "rules" and its hard to know when something is cooked - except using the thermometer.<br /> He often gets overcooked meat - "Just in Case".</p> <p>Luckily growing up in Peru, he has the immune system of a horse.</p> <p>I keep freaking out about getting sick from improperly washed produce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241575 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 07:28:38 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 241575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: Same. I'm so paranoid that i've been semi veggie since the beginning of pregnancy...It's getting real old! I miss steak. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241536 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 06:18:02 +0000 PrincessBaby 241536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tricycle: I have a total phobia too! DH grilled filets on Sun night and even though he did mine medium (I'm normally a rare kind of girl when not knocked up!), my stomach hurt after eating and I had diarrhea (sorry tmi)...Since I have been constipated since March/getting pregnant, this bout of stomach trauma totally freaked me out and I was so worried that I had eaten some type of bacteria that would hurt the baby. Somehow we narrowly escaped harm on Sunday night too! Then DH freaks me out with this little salmonella scenario last night:) I'm going vegetarian for a few days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241530 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 05:58:03 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 241530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ask myself this question EVERY TIME I cook chicken. I think it's become a phobia. Glad you all survived the night. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241519 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 04:51:41 +0000 PrincessBaby 241519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, everyone! We all survived the night -haha....No problems here:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241516 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 04:17:31 +0000 bpcmarj 241516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think your hubby was thinking that if you marinate chicken, you can't then use that uncooked marinade on a piece of cooked chicken for extra flavor. But if they are both heated, you should be fine:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241479 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 00:33:51 +0000 lemondrop 241479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liquids are going to heat faster than solids, which is why we are supposed to check the center of the chicken to see if it is done. The sauce/marinade will actually be hotter than the chicken itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241433 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 22:36:48 +0000 Mrs. Blue 241433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It should be totally fine because the marinade is also heated to a temperature that should kill any bacteria. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241421 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 22:09:08 +0000 Grace 241421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost spit out my drink when I saw that title! Lol. If there was any salmonella in your marinade, it got nicely boiled and it served as extra protein (and I'm a microbiologist, FYI). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241390 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:32:12 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 241390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never drain off the marinade. Like others have said I bet you cooked off any bacteria. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241363 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 21:06:22 +0000 yoursilverlining 241363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you're fine. Everything cooked. If you had drained off the marinade, your chicken at that temp &amp; for that amount of time would have been real dry - ask your husband if next time he would rather have dry chicken! ;p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241342 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:56:12 +0000 mrbee 241342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: So true... men cause all the drama in this world. 100% true. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241336 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:55:03 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 241336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it the same way you do it! Just let us know if you and DH are vomiting your guts out tonight so we can all learn a lesson from this:) hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241335 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:54:19 +0000 photojane 241335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: haha... truth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241326 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:50:16 +0000 lovehoneybee 241326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless I just have a TON of marinade I almost always cook it all together without draining (and like @MrsTiz:, use it as a baste). As long as it's all cooked and the chicken isn't raw, I've never seen it as a problem.</p> <p>ETA: I'm way worse...sometimes if I have a ton of extra marinade I make a sauce on the stove with it (using flour + fat + boiling/simmering for about 10 minutes).</p> <p>ETA2: You're fine, no need to stress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241319 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:41:59 +0000 MrsTiz 241319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: because he's a man and thats what they do! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241318 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:41:28 +0000 PrincessBaby 241318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, ya'll! That makes me feel so much better....Why is DH causing all this salmonella drama?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241315 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:39:49 +0000 MrsTiz 241315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't drain it, and actually baste it onto the chicken/steaks/whatever.<br /> You had raw chicken, marinated it, cooked it, ate the once raw chicken with no hesitations, so what is wrong with the marinade? I would never eat/taste it raw, but after you cooked it I cant see anything wrong with that at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241314 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:39:05 +0000 photojane 241314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not that i know from personal experience, but i'm a food network junky... they always cook the meat in the marinade! the restaurants just stick the huge pan the meat's been marinating in right in the oven. if you're eating that at restaurants, it's probably ok at home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241313 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:38:57 +0000 chopsuey 241313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jholler25: usually when I marinate things I'll just throw everything on the skillet and cook.. :D haha. Not sure if I'm considered "normal" though :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241309 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:37:26 +0000 PrincessBaby 241309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: That's what I was thinking...But there was kind of a lot. So normal people drain the marinade before cooking? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241306 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:34:14 +0000 chopsuey 241306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think you should be fine! the cooking should have killed any bacteria..? even if you didn't drain the excess, you'd still have some of the marinade still on the chicken. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-just-serve-salmonella-for-dinner#post-241305 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:32:45 +0000 PrincessBaby 241305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tell me if this was super-dumb...</p> <p>I marinated 3 chicken breasts in Italian dressing in a ziploc bag in the fridge for a few hours. Then I just poured all the contents into the Le Crueset baking dish and put it in the oven at 400 degrees for like 45 mins...</p> <p>After we scarfed it down, DH asked me if I did it that way, and when I told him yes, he said he doesn't know that I should have cooked the chicken in the marinade that I let it sit in...That I should have probably drained the excess Italian dressing before cooking it.</p> <p>Did I screw up? I'm SUPER weird about eating bacteria and being preg - so scared I'm going to hurt the baby. The Le Creuset dish gets SO HOT, I"m hoping it would have killed anything bad - even in the juice/extra dressing....Did I do bad here? </p> <p>I never even thought about that...You can tell how much I cook:) </p>
