Refrigerated Foods,, or Freshly made foods.

I am not sure about seafood because we don’t eat a great deal at our house. I like to throw left overs out after a week just to be sure. I buy meats and freeze them immediately. I know that meat can keep in the freezer for up to six months or so but I generally use it within a month or two the most. Everything else I keep an eye on the use by date.

I think that you should store your cooked food in the freezer for it to last a week. If you placed it only in the ref, you must consume it sooner, like the following day. With rice, once refrigerated, you must at least saute it with garlic in the next meal. Rice must never be re=refrigerated.

Fresh food always taste good, and we all love it. But in our busy life it is hard to make every meal in the eating time. So, we need to keep cooked food in the refrigerator for atleast one or two days. Also we need to keep fruits and vegetables refrigerated because we can't go shopping every day.

samson unless you freeze prawns and squids you should never keepthem in refrigeration even for more than a couple of days,not ten days,you run the danger of food poisoning and that is very real. most seafood in groceries is already a day or two old. I do not believe in trying to see how long you can wait to eat a food refrigerated for more than a couple of days.if you cannot eat it in that time span freeze them. thats much safer.Your friend is right whether you wish to believe it or not.

Hi, samson1967. I try to eat any cooked food in my fridge within a weeks time frame. I also check food daily to see if it is still fresh or not. For any other foods that are not yet expired, I will keep. I also tend to check these foods too because sometimes certain foods can spoil quicker than other foods. Especially, fruits, vegetables, cheese and milk products. I usually will keep an eye on these type of foods.

I think that as long as the meat is continuously frozen, then it wouldn't cause any harm to your health. You have to maintain the temperature of your freezer. If you are in doubt of its freshness, then you can check the appearance and smell of the meat.

I wouldn't store sea foods that long in the fridge, but you probably get them a lot fresher than we can here. I would freeze anything like that. Fresh vegetables keep a week or more in the refrigerator, but if they're really fresh, they'll keep longer than that. Meat of any kind, I won't keep more than three or four days without freezing it.

I deep freeze most of the uncooked meat and seafoods after marketing. I will usually stock them in the fridge the longest is one month.

Hi samson, I think your friend is right on his own way. Some people are preparing food in bulk and keep the same in fridge and reheat it and consume it. If the reheated food keep in fridge again and keep on using the same will definitely trouble our health. Freezing food won’t make any damage to the health and I think you must be keeping the prawn and other thing in the freezer. So there won’t be any heath hazards. Regarding fresh food, it will be the best food than refrigerated food.

It all depends on what we need for the month sweetie. I buy bulk meat as i freeze it for the whole month. Here we can freeze meat for up to six months, without worrying about health hazzards. NO SEAFOOD. The rest i like fresh as in veggies. I am not fond of frozen veggies. It tastes yukkie. TATA.
