Up to a week. Put it away as soon as you can after cooking, keep it in a tight container, and don't open it unless you have to. Smell it when you take it out and examine it for discoloration. It may have dried out a little and that's okay. Just add a few drops of water or sauce. Heat it completely before eating.

Foods that are left out in room temperature for more than an hour can begin bacteria growth. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacterias but not all and some can make you very sick. Keep foods OUT of the danger zone- Above 40 degrees and Below 140 degrees. Between these temperatures bacteria lives and breeds on our foods.
