Occasionally on Friday or Saturday night I'll get Chinese takeout for the family. We can never eat it all.

The next morning the kids all want "Chinese breakfast" so I'll put my wok on the stove and get some peanut oil really hot. Throw in the leftovers, stir in about half a dozen eggs and scramble it all up. Add some precooked breakfast sausage and bacon, both chopped up, some more soy sauce, and it's a damn good breakfast.

Never got sepsis. Probably re-cooking everything helps with microbes.

That’s the bachelor cook’s motto: “Hot grease kills germs.”

Works for family cooking too.

[Scarpetta]

You’re my kind of cook.

Actually no, that is still unsafe. Some of the most common causes of food poisoning, including salmonella and the most common, e. coli, produce toxic lipopolysaccarides (called endotoxins) which locate in their cell membrane. When contaminated food is left out warm and other favorable conditions the bacteria can double every 20 minutes. The endotoxins are heat-stable. They are released when the bacteria die. So,these common food poisoning toxins are potentially serious to deadly even if the food is heated and the bacteria killed before the food is consumed.

You may not get as bad a case of sepsis, but sepsis is caused by the endotoxins. I sure never want plain old food poisoning again.
