    My midwife at the doctors here in Singapore said to me that if you are going to eat hot food, make sure it's REALLY hot, and if cold....really cold. When you are buying cold things from the shops the difference is you don't know what is going on behind the scenes, but cooking at home would be different IMO.

    In Singas with it being hot ALL the time, leaving food out is a no no because bacteria grows very quickly. I think if you are cooking and cooling straight away, it will bascially stop that from happening, kind of like Tiffany said.

    If you are going to eat the cold meat (well if it was me) I wouldn't let it sit on the plate outside (or in) for 30 mins before you dive in IYKWIM.
