Oh honey, stainless steel utensils won't give you food poisoning if left in the fridge. They might make your food taste a bit metallic if left in there for too long, but they won't magically spawn bacteria. Just give them a good wash before using them again, and you'll be fine.


How long can you keep a foil wrapped baked potato warm without worrying about botulism?

A foil-wrapped baked potato can be kept warm for about 2 hours without significant risk of botulism. After this time, the temperature may drop to a range that allows for the growth of bacteria, including Clostridium botulinum, which can cause botulism. To ensure safety, it's best to eat the potato within that 2-hour window or store it in a refrigerator if not consumed. If you need to keep it warm longer, consider using an oven set to a low temperature.
