Used as a preservative for most of history, honey is also one of the foods that donât need to be refrigerated. In fact, storing it in an environment thatâs too cool increased the chances of glucose crystallizing inside the honey.
Because bacteria are everywhere, even after food is cooked to a safe internal temperature, they can be reintroduced to the food and then reproduce. For this reason leftovers must be put in shallow containers for quick cooling and refrigerated within 2 hours. You'll find similar statements from government agencies around the world. The safe limit for raw or cooked food is 2 hours in the danger zone (40-140Â° F or 4.4-60Â° C). If you're a restaurant owner or cook, you must follow this rule, hold hot foods above 60Â° C and quick-cool other foods before refrigerating.
