Urgent Christmas help

[Lima]

Hi all,

this is the sort of thing that’s hard to google so need to ask you fine people.

I have just made a tray with onion, celery, carrot, seasoning etc. And most importantly chicken wings. This is for my gravy. Making it tonight to make things easier tomorrow.

before prepping all of the above I warmed up a baguette for some soup in the oven. Oven was then turned off and I went and ate.

Now - I put the chicken in and forgot to turn the oven on so it’s just been sitting in a coldish/ warm oven where oven is cooling down from my baguette. After an hour I realised and have just whacked the oven on.

I realise when raw meat is stored between say 5 and 40 degrees it makes bacteria grow like crazy. The fact it’s been sitting in my oven at possibly that temperature range for an hour am I going to give everyone food poisoning tomorrow from the tainted gravy???

please help guys I’m super worried and paranoid about it.

Cheers and merry Christmas

Thanks guys.

to clarify I actually think the exact time it was in the weird temperature oven (danger zone 5 to 60 degrees odd) was about 45 minutes. Just worked out what I was doing and when to get an accurate timeline.

thanks for the advice so far. Some people on old forum posts I’ve found elsewhere have said it’s fine while others have argued you should defo chuck it. I’m cooking for my entire family so really really want to make sure it’s ok. Eek
