Is there any problem with leaving cooked beans in room temperature for some hours?

There's no problem leaving lots of cooked food room temperature for some hours. Don't be a pussy

According to USDA recommendations, cooked beans left out overnight (or for more than two hours) should be thrown away. Even if you reheat the beans to kill any bacteria, there may be heat-resistant toxins produced by bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, which reheating can’t destroy.

Don't they pretty much recommend that any food that has been out of the fridge for more than the duration of a meal should be thrown away? How did people survive before refridgeration?

I mean they have to, right?
Its a government website, they cant just tell you to ingest potentially spoiled food just because most of the time its safe to eat.

I generally use their guidelines to get like a general idea as to why leaving specific things out for whatever times is bad. In the case of the beans here its that one specific bacteria which _can_ start to develop between one to two hours depending on the surrounding temp.
Will it do that? Probably not but am I gonna gamble on that for like two bucks worth of beans?

They also don't tell you to throw out everything, some meats f.ex. they say you can leave out for longer or just have to re-heat it properly

The only thing I always throw out is rice and pasta because of that crazy bacteria it sometimes gets, other than that I just smell and if it seems fine I eat that shit my friend, yes I do. Yes I do.

Yeah thats usually how I go about it as well, worst case is you'll take a bite of something funky tasting and hopefully you'll stop eating there

Yes. When you have a huge amount of hot food that needs to be cooled and refrigerated quickly, divide it into smaller containers
