Why can baked goods like cookies and cake be left out on the counter that contain eggs, but scrambled or fried eggs would need to be refrigerated?
In: Other
baked goods are relatively dry and thoroughly cooked by nature, whereas pan fried goods are cooked pretty shortly and kept pretty moist throughout. overall, pretty good environment for egg-hunting-microbes. also, scrambled and fried eggs are both, as the name suggests, almost entirely egg, so if the egg part of those dishes go bad, you’re a lot more likely to notice and have a bad time.
