[Sca-cooks] Room Temperature

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

So, silly question, but my basic cookbooks are still in storage...

How long do you leave something out of the refrigerator until it
comes to room temperature.

I realize that there are variables, such as how cold the item was to
begin with (a fridge can range from, what? 34 to 40 degrees
Fahrenheit?), and what the temperature of the room is (since it's
winter, my current room temperature is around 64 degrees).

But, basically?
