How long are ribs good after they're cooked?

With all the stuff in the rubs, they should keep longer than they need too.  I never had one go bad but I can't say that I waited for one to go bad either.

Insert Stike response here --> Cooked meat goes bad?? :-?

Yes, that's what I was thinking too!

I always thought about an hour or less!  Seriously I find the biggest problem with cooked meat stored in the fridge is that it takes on flavour from other things in the fridge, so it tastes better the next day than three days later.  Maybe if you have those vacuum sealers it would avoid the problem but we try not to have that many left overs.  If we cook for guests we generally share the left overs at the end of the day.

7 days? that's a rule of thumb, but certainly no law.

sigh.

Remember that in the old days meat was smoked to preserve it.
