Unrefrigerated cooked vegetable safety

Post by uncle »

After frozen vegetables are cooked, is it safe to leave them unrefrigerated for several hours?

I think it's basically the same as for freshly bought and cooked vegetables - make sure that they are covered once they have cooled down. If it's warm and/or humid in your kitchen, it's better to keep the vegetables in the refrigerator until you need them.
Best wishes,
