| I made chicken stock last night and left it out beause it was too hot for the fridge. I need to toss this, right? |

| No -- just reboil it and put it in the fridge. |

| I am fairly liberal about these things, but I think I would toss it. How many hours was it out? |

| I do this all the time, after straining it of course. I think it's fine - I assume that when used it will be brought to a boil again. |

| I'm Asian and I drink week old soup (aka chicken stock) that's heated daily for drinking and left to cook in the pot on the stove. Been doing this since...well, forever . So I think your stock is fine. |

Here's one train of thought. I think I would throw it out.

| I do that about once every four or five batches - I can be an airhead. And I sadly toss it. |

Stock heated on the stove is not cold stock on the counter. |

| I always leave my stock out to cool overnight. Never, ever had a problem, and I've been making stock for over 20 years. Just make sure you reboil it before eating. |

Here is what food guru Harold McGhee has to say:
