No longer than an hour or so if left out in room temp. Bacteria can start to grow on foods in an hour. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacteria but not all. Foods should be kept out of the danger zone which is above 45 degrees and below 145 degrees. In this zone foods are perfect for bacteria.

Meat will last for about two hours without refrigeration. During a power outage, meat that is kept in the cold refrigerator can last for up to four hours.
