I made pasta shells with parmesan cheese, cream, peas and diced tomatoes last night. I ate some of the leftovers nine hours ago and forgot to put the tupperware in the fridge after! GRGH!!! If you would decide to keep it, how long will it be good for now?

The east coast (US) is warm, but inside it's cold b/c I have the A/C on.

Wait a minute, why are you talking about soaking the tupperware in hot water? Lol.

No, don't toss it out, at least not yet.
Try your best to clean it out. Just let it soak in some water for a long time, and afterwards gently scrape out what's inside.
Try checking this out online too. Try googling "cleaning dirty tupperware" or "throwing away" + tupperware - or something similar.

depends. are you tjhe only one eating it? if for a family chuck it. the health of those you are feeding is much more important than your own. now as for me, im single and when i cook its for one. i have forgotten to put food away at times. sometimes i will cook a roast and turn it off before going to work to take care of it when i get home from work. when i do forget it out or intentionally leave it out to cool i smell it look it over before reheating. if you reheat it until it is hot through ang through it should be ok. with cream in it i would be hesitant to save it after leaving out 9 hrs. better safe than sorry.

Depends on how much you like salmonella and hepititis. Bacteria are all over the place, they just want time to grow, and delicious food and room temperature are wonderful for them.
Honestly though, I would take my chances. But I wouldn't let anyone I loved eat it.

I would totally chuck it in the bin! You could end up getting really ill if you ate it after it was sitting for so long without refrigeration. (sounds delicious though- when you made it for dinner!)

I would throw it away darlin. Especially if it has any dairy in it. That stuff doesn't last very long out in the open.

The cheese is probably already harvesting all kinds of nasty little things.
