My mom used to always tell me to put left overs in a tupperware and place in the fridge. She said the if you put the pot or pan in the fridge to store the left overs, it would poison the food. My boyfriend does this all the time and I’ve always refused to eat the food. Well, now I’m sick and he made some chicken soup. He put the soup in the fridge, in the pot and gave me some for work today. I’m scared to eat it because of what Mom used to always say but I can’t seem to find anything on the net about it. Has anyone heard of this? Is it true that refrigerated food in pots poisons you?

The soup was made Monday night and has been in the pot, in the fridge, since about 3am Tuesday morning. How do I know if the pot is aluminum?

    No that does not make you sick. I do that all the time.
    Its best to not store in the pan longer than 24 hours but if he did the soup last night you aren’t sick from the way it was stored.
    I think the warning came about because pans were made of coarse metals and iron pots and that can leech into food.
    Most pots now are stainless steel.

    Only if it’s stored in aluminum. Stainless steel or enamel is ok.

    No. Although I wouldn’t store tomato or acid-based foods in a metal pot, just b/c there may be a chemical reaction that makes it taste funny (but not kil you!).
