I was going to use a pan earlier, to make a fried egg, but decided I
wasn't really that hungry and left it. Left the pan sprayed with
Kroger canola oil... How long does that keep at room temp?

I guess best to do what mom used to always say about food. "When in
doubt, throw it out"... Never really gave it much thought till the
one time I ate at a Wendy's back when they had a salad bar. Dressing
tasted a little funny but I was really hungry.

Next day, I threw up till I couldn't throw up any more. And then
threw up some more... My dad actually almost ran over me because I
fainted while he was backing the car. Then they took my illness more
serious... I remember the car tire coming at my head and thinking
"oh, there's a car tire coming at my head" but not being in the least
concerned... I actually lost a day out of my life when they took me
to the Penn State ER. (I hate to think what I mumbled in my sleep
during that time. Mom was not a swearer and I had a vague
recollection when I came out of it of tossing and turning constantly,
and swearing over and over.

Sorry, if I got a bit OT. But it was cooking related. Or, at least
food preparation related. And I do wonder about the cooking oil on
the pan.

The only problem with that scenario is that oil left out like that will
collect dust. Best to just wash it off and start over when you need it.

I read somewhere dust is like 90% flakes of skin... I did just wash
the pan and reuse it. Thanks for your advice.

Luckily, my parents did not have carpet in the bedrooms when I grew
up. Allergist said I showed no signs of allergy to dust mites, but
common with people that grow up with carpeting.

I prepare food in a pan to be fried early in the day all the time,
often the night before... got a slab of london broil already prepped
for tonight's dinner, cover the pan and stick it in the fridge.
If I left an oiled pan out it wouldn't be ten minutes before some
little tongues would lap it clean.
