you! That kind of work needs a lot of research if you want to establish the proper cooking temperature for a given food that will make the food safe to eat.  You might have to do a lot of research for its explanation or take already established safe cooking temperature in your country.  In the research, you have to consider the type of food, the level of contamination, type of microorganism involved and the log reduction to achieve in a temperature/ time relationship to level where the food will be safe to eat.  it is complicated! I took pork chops out of the freezer two days ago and put it in the fridge. We want to BBQ them tonight. Would the meat still be good. Is it safe to eat? Thank you. If you give at least 24 hours for the meat to thaw in the refrigerator and count the time after that 24 hours, the meat will still be good to cook and eat.  Pork meat will keep in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 days. I made a casserole that has mayonaise in it and cooked it in the oven and have been keeping it in a pyrex dish in one of the carriers that will keep the food warm. How long will the casserole be safe warmed and in this carrier? If the temperature of the casserole dips under 60 degrees C (140 degrees F) it will be safe for two hours.  Food has to be kept
