I cooked a smoked gammon joint in the oven last night and was planning on using the leftovers for lunches or dinners for the next few days. I realised in the middle of the night that I hadn’t put it in the fridge (the benefit of my 3 month old waking up to feed!) so went and put it in. At this point it was about 8 hours since it came out of the oven, and it had been covered with a clean tea towel to stop flies getting to it.
This is fine to eat, right? I can be a bit over cautious when it comes to food!
