Can you eat leftover chicken safely? What to understand
This happened to all of us: to have an irresistible urge to snack late at night and end up with leftover chicken or beef from dinner. But before you start, it’s important to ask yourself: is it safe?
Understanding the “Danger Zone”
The “dangerous zone” means the temperature range between 4 °C and 60 °C.
In this range, bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus can multiply very quickly, doubling their number every 20 minutes or so in good conditions.
Therefore, when the cooked meat stays in this area for too long, it becomes more and more dangerous.
