  Don’t eat lasagna that’s been between 40° and 140° F for more than 4 hours!

    Are we supposed to immediately freeze leftovers? I thought a night in the fridge was totally fine.

      If your fridge is warmer than 40°F, it’s not working properly. Commercially, prepared food is acceptable to use/sell for a week in the fridge before it has to be thrown out. Practically, this time is often longer, but a week is the safest bet.

        My fridge literally has a setting for 6°C (42.8F).

      Shit I leave food out for a day sometimes, it’s cool. The art of iron guts.

      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.

      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
