You are not suppose to leave it out no more than two hour and I leave food out longer than that and eat it and I have not died yet.
How Long Can Covered And Cooked Ground Beef Be Left Out At Room Temperature?
Is this true? Grandmother taught me that when food is left out overnight bacteria grows faster when covered than not covered.
I left out a T-bone steak on my counter for 4 hours...then refrigerated it....still red...is it okay to cook/eat.
