To prevent waste and keep your food fresh, it’s crucial to store meat and fish properly. Poor storage can affect texture, taste, and even pose health risks. Here are five simple and effective tips!
Meat and fish should be stored between 32-39°F (0-4°C) to prevent bacterial growth. It’s best to consume them within 2 to 3 days for maximum freshness.
Good packaging protects food from air and bacteria.
👉 Use parchment paper or an airtight container to store meat and fish in the refrigerator.
Freezing is ideal for extending the shelf life of food.
👉 Tip: Vacuum-seal or use an airtight freezer bag to prevent freezer burn and maintain texture.
Improper defrosting can lead to bacterial growth.
👉 Always defrost in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature for optimal food safety.
For tastier dishes and tender meat, marinate before freezing!
👉 Mix your spices, herbs, and oil before freezing meat or fish to enhance flavor absorption.
💡 Proper storage = guaranteed freshness and reduced waste!
