I know meat must be thoroughly cooked to kill all bacteria, but after any kind of meat has been thoroughly cooked and then refrigerated afterwards, is there any risk of food poisoning if not thoroughly heated?

bacteria thrives at temperatures between 5 and 80 degrees C. it does not matter if the meat is cooked or not really, it should be kept chilled or heated above 60 to kill any bacteria. This is why we are advised to thaw frozen items in the fridge and not on the bench in the sun. May 24 06, 9:08 PM

Good site zbeck, and it amazes me the amount of people who leave hot food to cool down on the bench before putting it in the fridge. This is another reason why the Australian Health Department is making a crack-down and banning 'doggy bags' in eating establishments and making a signed legal release form mandatory practice.

Does anyone know anything, aside from the shows she has been in to date, about the actress Sutton Foster who just won The Antoinette Perry Award for her work in 'Thoroughly Modern Millie'? I know many vegetables lose their nutrients when cooked, but is there a point when certain vegetables can be cooked so much that all the nutrients leave and it is pointless to eat them? If I dismantle a certain “item,” thoroughly wash all parts, attach Angora (my preference), replace the original flat backed “complex light detectors,” paint the inside of all parts lavender, drill necessary holes, insert black felt and a magnet if desired, properly weight the parts, reassemble, apply white details with protective coat, apply outer coloring and then, finally embellish...what will I have made? I just cooked Adobo, what is it?
