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.
Answer by gordon (304). According to current USDA food safety standards the maximum safe time for cooked foods that are left out at room temperatures is two hours. The  Danger Zone  is 40F to 140F when bacteria can double in as few as 20 minutes. If your room temperature is 90F food should not be left out more than one hour. add a comment.
