My mother always kept one stick of butter in a butter dish at room temperature. It would take her maybe a week to use up one stick on bread, toast, etc., and then she'd refill the butter dish with another stick from the fridge. Nobody ever had any bad effects from unrefrigerated butter, and my parents lived to be 90 and 93. If it was good enough for them, it's good enough for me, so I've been doing the same for 40 years!
for 2 hours
when it starts growing mold under the top crust it is time for the garbage can.
Venison is like any other meat. It should not be left unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours.
Sure it can...mine sit on the kitchen counter for 2 maybe 3 days, (usually they don't last that long) and they have always been fine....
Don't let the bananas sit out on the counter top. Buy them from the store the day you are making the banana pudding.
No, a banana pudding made with milk should not sit out overnight. Dairy products can spoil quickly at room temperature, leading to food safety risks such as bacterial growth. It's best to refrigerate banana pudding promptly after preparation and consume it within a few days for optimal freshness and safety.
Raw chicken should not be left unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. Bacteria can grow rapidly at room temperature, increasing the risk of foodborne illness. It is best to refrigerate or cook chicken as soon as possible after purchasing it.
we are now going to sit down and behave like normal children............DENNIS sit down this very instant.
Some would say no, just like they say no for ketchup b/c alot of restaurants leave ketchup out on the tables all day long........HOWEVER......I do not like room temperature ketchup or cocktail sauce and don't trust it to sit out like that so I do put mine in the fridge....if you don't like it "so cold or that chilled", a few seconds in the microwave will take the chill off. LOL
Raw poultry should not sit out any longer than it takes to prep it for cooking.
Pumpkin pie should sit unrefrigerated for no more than 2 hours and less is much better. It is a custard-based pie and should be kept refrigerated.
you should be able to sit on a stool for an hour maximum, if you sit on it longer it is illegal
