Will my pork be OK to eat?

Options
Hi I cooked a joint of pork for last nights dinner and put the remainder in the microwave to cool down. I have forgotten to put it in the fridge and it has been in the microwave, in the kitchen over night. The plate was quite cool this morning.... will it be ok to eat?
Hot or cold?

TIA

    Yeah, I'd eat it. I quite often leave the remains of a big roast to cool down in the micro as it's the only place the cats can't get into, and of course I can't put a hot joint in the fridge.

    Id eat it as long as your kitchen easn't heated over night. They used to store meat like that before fridges were invented.
