You left a pot roast out all night is it safe to eat it?

Answer 1

If it was left in a cool room with clean conditions, in all likelihood it is fine for the average healthy person. It is still a good idea to put your food away the first possible chance you get. It is not the best practice to leave it sitting out for hours.

Answer 2

If where you left it out wasn't as cold as a refrigerator, then, no. It is not safe to eat.

Answer 3

That meat has been mishandled. No food professional is going to tell you it is safe. If you choose to use it, do so at your own peril.

Answer 4

That would depend what you mean by "several hours". Potentially hazardous food should not be left unrefrigerated for more than two hours. At that time, it should be re-heated or refrigerated.

Answer 5

The uncooked part should tell you something. No.

Answer 6

If it was in the refrigerate, it should be fine to cook it. If it was on the counter or stovetop, it may be unsafe due to bacterial growth.
