container. I wanted to know if it was safe to still eat them, it will be 7 days today. It might be hazardous to eat them as crab meat is highly perishable and its shelf life even in the refrigerator should be of two to three days.  And since you do not have any ideas how they have been handled at your mom's office.... Can I cook a whole Chicken tonight and then reheat it for tomorrows supper. Or do I have to remove the bones from them first. The meat separates much easier from the bones when the chicken is warm.  However, if you put your whole cooked chicken in the refrigerator as soon as it has been cooked and reheat it tomorrow, you will still be able to remove the meat out of the bones easily then. After warming up a fully cooked boneless ham in the oven for approx 2 hours, can it sit on the counter for an hour and 15 mins while I cook scalloped potatoes? It is not recommended to leave intentionally perishable food at room temperature even if it is for less than 2 hours.  You might end up forgetting it and leave it there for more than 2 hours.  And then if you intend to serve it after the scalloped potatoes are done, there will only be 45 minutes left before to do something safe to keep the ham. I always freeze my stuffed peppers after I cook them.  Is this ok?
