around 10 to 20 minutes. you want to keep patting it with paper towels, this speeds up the cooling. if the meat is still considerably warm, don't put it in the fridge! 30 minutes max sitting out on the bench. if it is not cool enough in 30 minutes put it in the freezer for 5 minutes, then in the fridge. hope this helps!
Meat could be stored for longer periods of time, ie. you had to buy and consume meat the same day for it to be safe before refrigeration.
Meat can be preserved without refrigeration by methods such as drying, smoking, salting, or curing. These techniques help remove moisture and inhibit the growth of bacteria, allowing the meat to be stored for longer periods of time.
Spoiled or lost meat is primarily caused by improper storage or handling, such as exposure to air, temperature fluctuations, cross-contamination, or prolonged storage without proper refrigeration. These conditions can lead to bacterial growth, spoilage, and degradation of the meat's quality, making it unsafe or undesirable for consumption.
Curing meat involves soaking it for a period of time depending on the amount of meat, in a salt/sugar mixture. Depending on the meat you may have another addition, like lemon or lime for fish or a special salt to preserve the colour of beef. Curing was used to preserve meat before the days of refrigeration.
Yes, it is possible to find maggots on chilled meat if the meat was not properly stored or if it was exposed to flies before being chilled. Flies can lay eggs on meat, and if the conditions are right, those eggs can hatch into maggots. Proper refrigeration and handling of meat can help prevent this issue.

Refrigeration is important or food such as meat and dairy products would go off and become unedible. Also you won't be able to run you AC.
Meat can stay in a crockpot on the "warm" setting for a maximum of 2 hours before it becomes unsafe to eat due to the risk of bacterial growth.
The USDA's Meat and Poultry Hotline recommends that any meat not be held out of refrigeration for more than 2 hours. If the ambient temperature is 90 degrees F or greater, then it should not be out of refrigeration for more than 1 hour.
Pork, or any meat, should never be left out for more than two hours. If it has been out over two hours, it should be thrown out.
Breweries all over the country adopted refrigeration. Cold storage buildings became common in cities, meat packers were using refrigeration units, and even railroad cars and ships provided refrigerated transportation
No, it is not a good idea. Thawing in the microwave speeds up bacterial growth. Any kind of meat that reaches room temperature should be cooked immediately, you can then freeze it. The only time you can refreeze meat is if it is still very cold or still partially frozen.
