set for the oven will be displayed until that time is 

reached. Then, either the cook time (if programmed)

poultry, and pork—should not be allowed to sit 

at room temperature for more than 1 hour before 

or after cooking, as this may promote the growth 

of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is 

off, because heat from the bulb will speed harmful 

bacteria growth.
