It should be as long as it was fresh when you put it in there. The top of it will be dry and it may have soaked in odors from other food in the 'fridge.

Food is covered in the frig to help keep smells from combining. Plus, it keeps the food from drying out. Try putting an onion in the frig plus a slice of cake. The cake will taste and smell like an onion, plus, the cake will be a little on the dry side.

It's ok to eat, but food needs to be covered in the fridge to keep the moisture in. If it's not covered, then it'll be dry, but it's still ok to eat.

It should be OK, You cover left overs so they don't dry out. And say if it was an onion your other food can sometimes taste like it or even make things smell bad.

You cover to prevent drying mostly. If the meat isn't dried out, it should be fine after one night.

it's still okay to eat, covering it just keeps the air out so food doesn't dry out...
