I'm in college and I have a busy schedule that requires me to pack a lunch and on some days dinner. I'm trying to eat as clean as possible and I really don't want to pack a sandwich everyday. I really like salads and I was just wondering how long they would stay fresh outside a fridge? I'm going to have to keep it in my car for a few hours but I have ice packs in a insulated lunch bag. So, would having a salad sit out for a few hours be okay? I will also put dressing on it but should I stick that it another container or go ahead and pour it on there beforehand? suggestions?


Answer
No longer than two hours at room temperature (41F -135F) because mayonnaise based dressing,dairy products like cheese and even tomatoes are prone to rapid bacteria growth.

Even side from those things. Lettuce wilts and turns brown quickly if not kept sealed and cold. Your salad will also be very soggy if you put the dressing on it hours before. I would store it separate and add once you're going to eat.

*If you have an ice pack with the salad in a very small bag it should be okay. I say in a small bag or small compartment so the ice pack has an easier time of keeping the salad cold for an extended period of time.

How can I best insulate my Jeep's computer to keep it cool or heat it up quickly to see if that's what ...?

I have an electrical problem in my Jeep whenever it warms up. I was thinking it would make sense to either try to keep the computer cool (it's in the engine compartment) and see if the problem takes longer to appear or heat it up and see if the problem occurs faster.

Any advice on how to do either?

I was thinking about a lunch bag with some ice-packets in it to help keep it cool or a hair dryer to warm it up..



Answer
in the beginning they put all the computers in the engine compartment and they burned out left and right.
What year is that Jeep piece of shit??
Heres what you can do to check it. ( we did this test years ago when they first came out) Get a hair dryer and warm up the computer and then try to start the car.
If you can figure a way you should try to get the unit out of the engine bay and inside the cab,,like under the dash.
