Is it okay to let food sit overnight if its covered and hasn't been contaminated...

...since cooking? I know its not safe to leave out stuff thats been gotten into. But what about something that you cooked, didn't get into, and left out or in the oven covered. Is it safe to leave out overnight? The head from cooking kills bacteria and stuff, so if it hadn't been tampered with, it would stay sterile and not grow bacteria, right?


Biology because i figured this qualifies as a microboilogy question.
