Can you eat hot pot overnight? Is it good for your body to eat hot pot overnight
Sihaiwang: I believe everyone has encountered the situation that hot pot can't be eaten. Many people take it home for fear of waste, heat it the next day, or continue to cook it with unused hot pot soup the next day. However, is this really good? Can hot pot be eaten overnight? What are the hazards of eating? Let's have a look!
Can hot pot be eaten overnight
You can't eat the boiled hot pot soup and its ingredients overnight.
1. Harm of overnight hot pot soup
The nitrite content will gradually increase after 30 minutes of hot pot soup cooking. Meat cooked at high temperature for a long time will release amines to react with nitrite to produce carcinogenic nitrosamines. The hot pot soup overnight contains more harmful substances and can't be drunk. In addition, if you want to taste the flavor of hot pot soup, you should drink it soon after the pot is boiled. Don't drink it after the hot pot is boiled for a long time, and it's better to drink less. The rest of the soup had better be thrown away.
2. Harm of overnight hot pot dishes
Dishes that have been cooked in a hot pot cannot be eaten overnight. Especially vegetables, because there are many nitrates in leafy vegetables. After cooking overnight, nitrates will be transformed into nitrites, which has strong carcinogenicity; Coupled with the decline in nutritional value, the taste and flavor of the dishes have become much worse. If meat is well preserved, it can be boiled again, as long as it is not bad. But strictly speaking, it is not recommended to eat overnight.
Of course, if you put aside the ingredients that haven't been cooked in time, you can eat them overnight. Uncooked ingredients are put in the refrigerator and can be used to continue cooking the next day without damage. However, washed leafy vegetables are perishable, and rotten vegetables cannot be eaten, because nitrate in the vegetables will be converted into nitrite, and the nitrite amine formed in the body is recognized as a carcinogen in the world.
In short, the best hotpot ingredients are how much to eat, how much to buy, how much to eat, how much to rinse and cook, so as to avoid waste. Don't let go of the endless hot pot soup and dishes until late at night. Just like what we call leftovers. What's more, it's bad for health to cook hot pot for so long.
Harm of eating overnight hot pot
Eat hot pot soup dishes overnight, especially the remaining vegetables, which are rich in nitrates. If they are cooked and placed too long, they will be reduced to toxic nitrite. After eating this food, it is absorbed into human blood, and hemoglobin is oxidized to methemoglobin, which hinders the normal oxygen carrying function of blood. It may cause poisoning, such as headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain, heart, liver and kidney damage, blood pressure drop, fecal incontinence, coma, etc.
If the above-mentioned physical discomfort occurs after eating, you should eat hot pot immediately. If necessary, go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately.
