When soaking pork liver in milk for 2 hours, should I place it in the fridge or at room temperature? I'm worried it might go bad, as my room is pretty hot in the summer...

3What reason would you have for not soaking it in the fridge?– talon8Jul 18, 2012 at 14:24

I have soaked calf liver in milk for 3 days in the fridge, never taking it out. Will it be safe to eat if I cook it under the broiler as I usually do?– user11296Aug 19, 2012 at 23:30

Yes, you can safely soak it at room temperature, but why would you? There's no reason not to refrigerate.
Meat is safe for about 2 hours in the temperature danger zone of 40F/4C to 140F/60C. Beyond that, it should be cooked or refrigerated. So, if you do decide to soak at room temperature you should cook or chill it promptly.

@drozzy Yes, it may be slightly slower, but you can safely soak overnight in the fridge, which lets the process proceed further.– BobMcGeeJul 18, 2012 at 15:42
