You mention that bottled beers should be served at a much cooler temperature than cask ales but what about bottle conditioned British ales? Nick Paul Jones Ideally bottled beers should be stored half way between the two so about 8 degrees although most places donât have the spare fridge space to sp this.
Trust me, it's easier to discard some leftovers than to go through a real toilet-hugging, stomach-pumping bout of food poisoning. Cooked chicken should not be left unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. Less time is better. Make that only one hour if the ambient temperature is very warm. If it hasn't been consumed by then, it should be re-heated or refrigerated. It needs to stay out of the temperature danger zone which is 135Â°F to 40Â°F.
Refrigerate cooked shrimp within two hours of cooking. Shrimp stays good for only two hours after it's cooked and served. On the serving tray in temperatures of 40 degrees Fahrenheit or above, the cooked shrimp begins to fall victim to dangerous bacterial growth when two hours have passed. After this time, the cooked shrimp cannot be refrigerated, frozen or eaten; you must throw it away. In temperatures of 90 F and above, the cooked shrimp lasts only an hour.
