I remember my grandmother keeping a pot of beans or stew/chili sitting on the stove for several days. When dinner time came around she would just heat it up again. The health dept. would have a seizure if they knew this was being fed to kids nowadays. No one got sick that I recall so maybe granny knew best.

She also gave us whiskey with lemon and honey for colds but that's another story.
