Can I spend the night in the hot pot?

You can't,

Hot pot can't be eaten overnight. If it is a hot summer, the hot pot may go bad if it stays overnight; Hot pot stored at room temperature and low temperature will not deteriorate overnight, but during the long-term heating process, many substances will accumulate in the food, which may contain impurities, sediments, grease and other substances.

Overnight hot pot may also contain harmful substances produced by long-term heating, which is very harmful to human body, so it cannot be eaten.

The dishes cooked in hot pot can't be eaten after a night. Vegetables, in particular, contain a lot of nitrate, which will be converted into nitrite after cooking for one night, which has strong carcinogenicity, reduced nutritional value and poor taste and flavor of vegetables.

Meat, if preserved well, can be eaten when cooked again, as long as it is not bad. But strictly speaking, it is not recommended to eat overnight.

Of course, raw ingredients can be eaten overnight. Uncooked ingredients are put in the refrigerator and can be used to continue cooking the next day without going bad. But washed vegetables are easy to rot, and rotten vegetables can't be eaten, because nitrate in vegetables will be converted into nitrite, and ammonium nitrite formed in the body is recognized as a carcinogen in the world.
