twinmami01 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I cooked some ground beef this morning for use in sloppy joes for dinner today and tomorrow. After cooking, I left it out for about an hour and 45 minutes before I realized it and immediately put it in the fridge. Would that still be safe to use?

butterflymommy Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Supposedly food is safe for 2 hours at room temperature. I tend to be OCD on food safety but I stick to the 2 hour rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterflymommy Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Also, consider that because it was room temperature, it will chill must faster in the fridge than if you had placed it in piping hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
