How Long can Meat Sit Out?

Uncooked meat should not sit out for longer than an hour before bacteria starts to grow. Cooked food should not sit out for more than 2 hours without being refrigerated. If not you could get food poisoning.

Any meat left at room temperature for over 2 hours will be subjected to bacteria. Raw meat should not be left out over an hour. If you have ever had food poisoning before, you won't take any chances!
