I made fried rice a few days ago. It was good. I had leftovers the next day and it was better. I had leftover again a day after and it was even better (spices and flavours developed and it became more savoury). Presumably this will continue until it spoils, hence the title.
Confession. I thought of this while in the bath, not the shower.
Yeah if you make lasagna it’s usually the best like 2-5 hours after being done. If kept in the turned off oven it stays nice and warm but solidifes just right
Don’t eat lasagna that’s been between 40° and 140° F for more than 4 hours!
= 4.4 °C - 60 °C
I have been doing it for 10 years and never got sick
Yeah, I mean there’s only one hour of real danger there and those are the food service rules, so they’re going to be as strict as possible. They also teach that prepared food can’t be served after a week in the fridge, even though it often lasts longer before spoiling. I personally don’t enjoy puking and shitting my brains out, especially as a direct result of my own avoidable actions, so I play it safe.
Shit I leave food out for a day sometimes, it’s cool. The art of iron guts.
Why?
It allows harmful bacteria to reach infectious levels, it’s true of most foods and isn’t exclusive to lasagna
Starchy foods. Rice is particularly prone to this
And most meat dishes, egg dishes, pretty much anything containing dairy, most raw/cooked produce and produce-containing dishes, opened canned goods, etc, etc. Way more than just “starchy foods”
You’re absolutely right. It just doesn’t apply so much to foods that are naturally antimicrobial, i.e. foods super salty and/or acidic (or super basic in theory, but I can’t think of any examples).
Whatever’s between milk and Pepto Bismol I guess
Ah that was my guess
Danger zone. Easy way to get sick.
