What's the longest you'd feel safe eating an unrefrigerated 'za? aislop search engines say anything after 2 hours is poison but that sounds like a load of bs to me.I've got a few slices of "new yorker" that's been sitting out like 24 hours now and that might be pushing it though
>>21822295The room temperature, anon.
Dude I have eaten chicken nachos unrefrigerated in a bowl inside a Ziploc bag, probably like 3 days after I made them
>>218222953 hours.Just learn to make a cast iron pizza.
>>21822298It's been pretty cold here. My heater sucks so it feels chilly even indoors. I don't have a wall thermometer though. I took out my meat thermometer but it doesn't give me a very good air reading. I'd say it's like 55-60 in here.
>>21822295I use to eat pizza left out for 24hrs
>>21822295Why are you using AI to learn things? That's really stupid. Who told you it's ready now? lolI've eaten 36 hour old pizza no problem. And I've had pizza shipped from New York and it was still fine. Fast food pizza companies know their customers are drunk people who will eat it 2 days later. They make sure it won't go bad and kill you. Same with the mcds food that won't grow mold even after ten years. Too many preservatives in cheap shitty food. You'll be fine. That dirty quarter shouldn't be near the food though.
>>21822295i dont think its really lasted more than 2 days before. usually its gone day after
>>21822352>Why are you using AI to learn things?You make too many assumptions. I didn't say I'm "using AI to learn things", I merely reported what it said. If I was using AI to learn things, I wouldn't have posted this thread, now would I? You're not as intelligent as you think you are.
>>21822295When i was in college I'd eat cafeteria pizza at like 8-9:00, leave it out, then eat whatever was left cold the next morning. I never got sick.
>>21822295Mold and sniff test.
>>21822295>What's the longest you'd feel safe eating an unrefrigerated 'za?2 days
>>21822295cold pizza is dry, and covered in salt. bacteria and mold would take a long time to start growing on it. I would have no problem with 24 to 48 hours. but after that it would be really dry.
>>21822360NTA - you are still dumb for consulting AI to begin with. AI will tell you the best way to keep cheese from sliding off pizza is to glue it on. though they may have fixed that.
Put a piece of moist bread out on the counter. That will show you the absolute worst case scenario for food contamination.
>>21822295>'zaThis word makes me irrationally angry.
>>21822408bread left on the counter just dries out. that's the starting process for making stuffing anon. leave cubed bread in a bowl until it fully dries out. takes a day or 2. no it does not get moldy.
>>21822295do you see mold on it? Guessing probably not so eat it
>>21822295ive eaten pizzas that have sat out over night and Id wager it happens hundreds of times a day in college dorms and frat houses everywhere.
>>21822412>This word makes me irrationally angry.Za'ngry
I've definitely had pizzas out all night while gaming and drinking and eaten them in the morning, but perhaps... perhaps I am advantaged by my based refusal to trust the science
>>21822404Correct. The ai is giving numbers based on which temperatures certain types of bacteria will start to grow without accounting for things like salt. At 2 hours I'm pretty sure the amount of bacteria on a pizza would be negligible. 2 hours starting at oven removal. Not 2 hours starting when the dude delivers it. That same exposure time for a portion of steamed rice is a completely different story.
>>21822404>I would have no problem with 24 to 48 hoursThis is not advisable though. The cured meats a
>>21822295I was taught in food safety courses that 4 hours is the max to leave food out and that feels like a pretty good window to me. some stuff might last longer but why risk it. there's no scenario where I would let food sit out that long anyway. takes 2 seconds to chuck it in the fridge. if in thr span of 4 hours you can't remember to do that you have bigger problems than your food going bad.
it's risk tolerance and gambling. The general guidelines are, from removal from refridgeration (under 5c) or a hot holder (60c above) or from finished cooking:0 to 2 hours - Fine to eat, fine to put in a fridge or freeze.2 to 4 hours - Fine to eat, don't refrigerate or freeze.4+ hours - Throw away.The risk comes in because you never know what's going to happen when you gamble with food safety. Maybe you eat the pizza, nothing happens. Maybe next time you eat rice that's been left out, get bacillus cereus poisoning and die.Every year a certain amount of people will get sick from food. Some will vomit. Some will vomit and get stomach pain. Some will end up dehydrated or suffer from secondary symptoms like muscle pain because the illness takes days to get through. Some will end up in hospital. Some might end up in a coma. Some will die.Why risk it for a day old pizza.
>>21822310I'd eat it if it was sitting in a closed box and wasn't all dried out. I wouldn't refrigerate any leftovers tho, put them in the trash
>>21822295>aislop search engines say anything after 2 hours is poisonNonsense. I ate 4 slices unrefrigerated for 24 hours and it was fine
>>21823553>The cured meats aYou okay anon? Shouldn't have eaten the pizza
>>21822295Dominos, 711, Little Cesars have quite a bit of preservatives. Overnight (8-12) hours I don’t bat an eye. 24 hours I might think twice. Anything longer than that is a gamble. Longest I have sent is probably 2 days. Any pizza not made with preservatives really deserves to be refrigerated and will begin to approach inedible levels within a few hours. Would not go past overnight, even overnight would approach with extreme caution.
>>21822352>That dirty quarter shouldn't be near the food though.How else are we gonna know how big the pizza is? We need the rough mass before we can estimate spread rates
I ate chicken soup left out of the fridge and on the stove for four days once and not only an I here to tell the tale but I'm immunosuppressed so if anyone would die from foodborne illness, it'd be me. And I didn't even get a tummy ache.I get that people want to err on the side of caution but that's mostly because people these days have abdicated themselves from critical thinking and trusting their own senses. Eat your 24 hour pizza. You'll be fine.
>>21822295after 36 hours i start to question it. it at the very least needs microwaved after that
>>21822295I think it depends on what is on the pizza. I've eaten stuff like ham and pineapple and supreme the next day when it was left out on the counter. But I probably wouldn't attempt that with a chicken pizza.But I happen to know for a fact that you can eat donuts that have been left out for a couple of weeks. I used to do it back in the early 2000s when my housemates fuckbuddy would bring in trays of donuts that he hadn't sold that day after work.Since there isn't really any nutrition in donuts, there's nothing to 'spoil'. They just get harder and harder until they're rock solid.
probably 48 hrs
>>21823761>people these days have abdicated themselves from critical thinking and trusting their own senses.>>21823628
>>218222955 days is max. You could still eat it after that, but you wouldnt enjoy it. 1 Day is perfect, 2 days is perfectly fine, though showing signs of hardening, 3 days its definitely hard on all sides, even the slices in between other slices, 4 days is pushing the limit.I have a couple pizzas behind me right now that have been sitting out for 2 weeks. They are not molded and I COULD still eat them, but would rather order fresh at this point. Anyone who scoffs at day old pizza is either a woman or limp wristed bitch. Just my two cents
>>21822295>ai says 2 hoursare you stupid?
>>21823628I have an iron stomach I'm not some pussy that's going to die from food left out for 24 hours.But I live in a cold climate, shrimp and a rare steak left out for 24 hours at 30c in the summer is going to make you ill, in the winter? Covered on the kitchen counter? Probably fine.
>>21822295I just ate 3 slice that were out for 2 days. Tasted fine.I leave tomatoes pie out covered for a week or so.You bitches who are afraid of germs are the reason COVID happened.
>>21823786>I COULD still eat them, but would rather order freshlimp wristed bitch
>>2182229524 hours is pushing it but doableReheat it in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes36 hr pizza is guaranteed to give me the shits>>21822352Ymmv i’ve had pizza at 12hrs thst made me sickWorth it though and i still eat 18hr pizza with nary a second thought>>21823628cringeanyone who says 4hrs is a sheep
>>21823821I treat 4 hours as a rough guideline to putting food away, I don't think it's like a hard limit or anything and in a lot of instances you're probably totally safe going over that. my thing is though, why is your food sitting out that long anyway? what are you doing that in 4 hours you can't take a few seconds to toss something in the fridge? are you black out drunk in this scenario? getting so absorbed in a gaming binge that you forget where you are? maybe it's just my brand of autism but I'm always hyperaware of what's in my kitchen and don't like leaving shit sitting around any longer than it has to. it's not even necessarily about safety, just organization. I can't identify with the kind of chaotic and unorganized mindset you have to have to leave shit lying around for even a couple hours, let alone up to a whole day. I've roomed with people like that and they're always total fucking slobs, leaving shit all over the kitchen and elsewhere, letting shit rot, letting dirt build up everywhere. and so it's like, in my mind, even if the pizza is fine after 18 hours or whatever, which it probably is, I feel like I can't trust the general cleanliness of people who would leave it sitting for that long in because I know that uncaring attitude about your environment most likely extends beyond the pizza.
>>21822295I think it depends on how moist it is, if it’s a watery sauce stored in a plastic bag then I wouldn’t, but normal sauce stored in a box or in the open is fine after a day.>>21823786>I have a couple pizzas behind me right now that have been sitting out for 2 weeksWhy?

there is no food on earth worth risking food poisoning
>>21823971Pizza (food)shipped (transported, presumably to this person)from (another place)New York (a city in the state of New York)
>>21822295>What's the longest you'd feel safe eating an unrefrigerated 'za?36 hours. This is extremely processed food cooked at high temperatures. Bacteria were killed several times along the way and the final product is not that perishable. If you live like a 3rd worlder maybe it'll go bad in 12. But if you leave it on a counter for 36 hours at western room temperature, it'll probably be safe. The only exception is poop hands touching it right before delivery, but that's dangerous contamination regardless of how long it's on the counter. Without poop fingers, 36 hours is the limit. Any more and you should really question your life. Even if it's "safe", it'll be desiccated, all the cheese and sauce will have separated, and it'll just be disgusting. Why are you leaving pizza laying around that long? Get your life together
>>21822295I regularly get the Hungry Howies $33 meal deal, with two large two topping pizzas and a 3-cheeser bread and I'll leave the pizza sitting on the stove for 24 hours or more (the other one goes in the fridge) and have never had any problems (I do lightly nuke the slices before eating).
Depends on the toppings, but the best slice of pizza is the next morning (kept the box in the oven) for breakfast, no reheating, just room tempbuffalo chicken pizza though, I never do tomato sauce pizza unless it's fresh
>>21822295What kind of man actually worries about eating pizza that's just been sitting out for a day?
>>21822295Any time the next day is game.
>>21824088What kind of man actually worries about what kind of man actually worries about eating pizza that's just been sitting out for a day?
>>21823978>Bacteria were killed several times along the wayThis is less of an issue in a discussion about already cooked food, but not all types of food illness are caused by bacteria. And not all types are destroyed by cooking.Example, a contaminated piece of food can still make you sick if cross contamination allowed a spore or toxin to develop that isn't destroyed by cooking heat, or something like scombroid poisoning in fish.
There is literally nothing on a bacon pepperoni pizza that can go bad
>>21824121hard disagreethink of the cheesei'm not being namby-pamby, but cautious
>>21824122>Gouda>processed dry mozzarella>canned tomato sauce If they were in a closed container nothing will happen to them, 2 days ago I ate 6 slices with fresh tomato that had been sitting outside in a tupperware two days later nothing happened to me
>>21823561This is for foreigners handling food in a highly contaminated area. If you are in your house, all that bacteria is growing in your mouth already.
>>21822295people keep pizza in the fridge?
>>21823767The only reason chicken is a health concern is that feathers pierce deep into the meat allowing possible contamination. If it is cooked this no longer matters.
>>21823561A buffet could easily have food sitting out for 4 hours without someone noticing or caring.
>>21822295Depends…do you like penicillin on your pizza?
>>21824139people and restaurants leave roasts in the oven overnight or sauces in pots for hours
>>21823628>>21823777Oh, fuck off. Have you any idea how many people die from foodborne illness annually in the US? 3000. That's it. Out of 330000000ish people, 3000 die from food poisoning. That's 0.00090909repeating%, less than a thousandth of a single percent.And severe illness? 128000. That's all. That's 0.038787878repeating%, less than four hundredths of a percent. The "risk" is practically zero because we have tastebuds and other "something's dodgy here" senses that protect us from eating extremely harmful foods.It's demonstrably fine. Stop being a prancing pansy princess about it. Again: I'm immunosuppressed. If it were that serious or common of an issue, I'd have died ages ago and I'm still here to tell you to stop being a food-averse faerie.
>>21824256Okay, don't bitch when you're one of the 3000 who end up dying.
>>21824272Or you kill your mother (not in her sleep) because you stopped giving a shit about something and gave her salmonella or whatever.
>>21824256i was quoting you and pointing out that guy saying its a gamble meaning he is the one with no critical thinking
>>21824272>>21824288Sex is also dangerous. You can hit some nasty conditions from it. What are you gonna do? Prattle your prick and eat at Wendy's until the end of time? Eat.The damn.Pizza.And my mother wouldn't get sick from day old pizza because she's not a fragile faerie princess like you are, Guinevere, you utter pussy.
>>21822295until its too hard to eat.
>>21824118You are right. Food that was contaminated then left out too long will still make you sick even if you cook it. But pizza is made of highly processed ingredients that get blasted at 600 F, it's pretty sterile. Unless a worker has poop hands while boxing it up
>>21822295My favorite vtumor ate pizza that was locked in the trunk of a car for a weekend and she's still alive.
if youre young and healthy eating food thats a little off wont hurt you much. Stay close to a bathroom though in case you need to blow chunks or ass.
>>21822295Probably "good" for another 24 hours but would be pretty shitty to eat even after nuking it.
>>21824314I would rather eat meat left out all night than have the sex with the modern woman.
>>21822295My routine is that I eat half a pizza for dinner on night 1, and then the second half on night 2, and I don't put it in the fridge in between. Any longer though and I would. The only time pizza has made me sick was when I ate dubiously aged frozen pizza from my grandma's root cellar.
>>21824651Maybe, but your opinion here doesn't count, homo.
>>21822295plain pie can sit for a long time without going bad, days even, you add any toppings and i wouldn't trust it if it was out for more than 5 hours
>>21822352>Why are you using AI to learn things? That's really stupid.All the shit you just said about McDonald's not decaying is nonsense you saw on a video or heard from a buddy. You parrot bullshit just like AI does.
It should be okay to eat an uncooked frozen pizza if none of the animal based ingredients are raw. Or if the dough isn't full of bullshit that's unsafe to consume raw. (You don't make pizza dough with egg, but who knows wtf is even in there.)
>>21822295I've eaten reheated pizza that was left out for 12 to 16 hours before and didn't get sick. The trick is to spray it with water and put it in the oven for 20 minutes or so.I probably wouldn't trust anything above 20 hours and nowadays I stopped being lazy and put any leftovers in the fridge.
>>21825257I didn't ask about pie I asked about pizza you snooty fuck.
Other foods are far more dangerous than pizza. Rice is the most sneaky. You'd think rice is dry before cooking, steamed to hell, dries if left out. How bad could that be? It turns out very bad very fast. Frying it does not help as the bacteria that grows on it is not killed by heat. I used to cook up a full rice cooker batch, dump in large tupperware container and put in fridge. Reheat portions throughout the week. This was FINE until it was not fine. It won't kill you but you will want to die for a solid 12 hours if you get this type of food poisoning.
When I worked at a grocery store the frozen clerks typically left the frozen pizzas out for their entire 8 hour shifts. Hot pockets, tv dinners, and waffles as well. Only ice and ice cream got put away ASAP.
>>21822295like 12 hours... not that I would expect anything bad to happen if I ate it 24 hours later
True felons know that one first orders the Za, eats half of it, goes to sleep, then reheat it in the air fryer with a dash of olive oil and water at 200C the following morning in a hungover fugue state, doesn't matter how much time has passed really, just nothing over 24 hours.
