Raw meat and poultry maintain their quality longer than their cooked counterparts because moisture is lost during cooking so its better to cook as you go to preserve quality. --- 3 of 6 #FoodStorage #Freezer2 Commercial food guidelines suggest bacon and sausage 1-2 months. Roasts, steaks and chops 4-12 months, ground and giblets 3-4 months, wild game 8-12 months. Eggs can be frozen but not in their shell. Frozen egg yolk will have a different consistency than fresh and may act differently in blending and baking. Frozen bread stays its best for 3-6 months, keep on the door which is the warmest part of the freezer. --- 4 of 6 "#FoodStorage #Countertop1 Keep bananas on their bunch until ready to use, keep the stems in wax wrappings or plastic wrap or even repurposed pieces of plastic bags to slow browning. Leave tomatoes on their vines until you are ready to use them. Avocados: keep in a paper bag to ripen or in the refrigerator to prevent ripening. " --- 5 of 6 #FoodStorage #Countertop2 While we don’t anticipate current COVID19 related stay at home measures to last until summer, we would be remiss without mentioning pineapples which if you dare to cut yourself should be kept on the countertop while whole but refrigerated when cut. Cut pineapple may be frozen but the texture will change significantly when the frozen juice expands and bursts cell walls. Apples last roughly a week on the counter, three weeks in a pantry but up to six weeks refrigerated. --- 6 of 6 Crypto-Art Crtiques: Terrakion Freezer (baby love). Like the mirage of an oasis in the barren terrain, the viewer is tempted with the perfection of overflowing floral bushes, evergreen tree and the most perfectly shiny side by side fridge with ice maker you have ever seen. Feeding from the abundance of the lake itself, the caretaker leaves his chair to tend to their mutual needs. Alone on a small island of abundance with their pet they strive for survival under the watch of the ever present screen.
