Detailed explanation-1: -Food that is sitting out for a party or picnic should be chilled after two hours at typical room temperature. If it’s above 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius) or more, food should not sit out for more than one hour.
Detailed explanation-2: -Keep Food out of the Danger Zone Throw away all perishable foods that have been left in room temperature for more than 2 hours (1 hour if the temperature is over 90° F, such as at an outdoor picnic during summer). Cold perishable food, such as chicken salad or a platter of deli meats, should be kept at 40° F or below.
Detailed explanation-3: -Remember the 2-Hour Rule: Discard any perishables left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours, unless you’re keeping it hot or cold. If the buffet is held in a place where the temperature is above 90 °F, the safe holding time is reduced to 1 hour. Watch the clock with leftovers, too!
