You should keep foods out of the danger zone to prevent bacteria from forming on foods. Bacteria can form on foods in the danger zone after just an hour. The danger zone is under 145 degrees and over 45 degrees.

Absolutely. Large pots of anything put immediately into the refrigerator are at risk of spoiling because their size keeps them from cooling down to an acceptably cold temperature fast enough. You should consider dividing large batches of anything into smaller containers or using an ice wand, ice bath, or other fast-cooling method.

Unfortunately, cooked vegetables left at room temperature have been shown to be capable of growing bacteria that may have been introduced after the initial cooking.

Therefore, it is not recommended to consume cooked vegetables that have been at room temperature for an extended period of time. We use the 2 hour rule as a safety guideline for determining if food should be consumed or tossed in normal situations (like at a meal where the cooked foods sit at room temperature). In a power outage, we recommend that cooked vegetables in a refrigerator be tossed out after 6 hours. Since your cooked canned spinach was out at room temperature more than 2 hours, my recommendation is to toss the spinach.
