Back in the UK Master Chef Delia Smith recently advocated leaving a

being properly refrigerated if eaten cold!
Wouldn't work here in Oz because temperatures of 40 C+ do funny things
to poultry. If we left it out overnight it'd be tapping on the door by
morning asking to come back in!!
Over there tho surely the weather is cold enough to make it a
reasonable option. Saves wrecking the fridge after all!
Anyone else think leaving it overnight is acceptable... in Northern
hemisphere cars of course? :)
I have a screened-in back porch. Any time it's at least as cold as
the refrigerator (November through March, usually), I have no
problem using it as such. In the very coldest weather it can get
below freezing, so I have to be careful about that, if the food isn't
supposed to freeze (like a head of lettuce).
It's convenient for me that the big food holidays (Thanksgiving and
Christmas) fall when it's cold out and I can use the porch for
supplemental refrigeration. I usually refer to it as "God's
refrigerator"
(even though I'm an atheist).
I'm about halfway up--at roughly 42 degrees N latitude.
