Why must cooked food be kept hot or cold but never at room temperature?
because at hot temperature the bacteria and all that nasty stuff is killed because of the heat, at cold temperatures they can't breed or survive due to the lack of heat, but room temperature is just right for them
Does eating spicy food raise your body temperature?
Yes eating spicy food can slighly raise your physical body temperature
How does temperature affect how quickly food goes off?
Food 'going off' is actually the molecules in the food reacting with enzymes and so forth; ie the food is getting broken down and molecules are changing. In short chemical reactions are taking place; temperature affects every chemical reaction. Enzymes in the food will have an optimum temperature in which they work at. If you go too far below or above the optimum temperature then the enzyme will denature and not work (that is why you can cook or freeze food to stop it going off and to make it edible), however leaving food around in room temperature will mean that the enzymes will be nearer their optimum temperature and therefore the reactions will take place thus the food will become bad.
Can food help increase body temperature?
Yes. Increase in body temperature increase your basal metabolic rate. This hold true for rise in temperature for few degree Celsius only.
Do you freeze something immediately it's cooked or wait until it's cold?
You never put very hot things in a freezer - it can raise the temperature inside, and this can affect the other items therein. Always allow food to cool to room temperature, or chill in a fridge, before freezing.
What are the cons when you defrost at room temperature?
The concern is that the food could get warm enough that it would start growing pathogenic microorganisms.
What is the difference between frost free and auto defrost in a freezer?
A frost-free freezer regulates the temperature at a level to prevent the build-up of too much frost - so that it should never need defrosting by the user. The internal temperature is low enough to keep the food frozen - but not low enough to allow a build-up of frost. An auto-defrost freezer allows a layer of frost to build up over time - when it reaches a preset level - the appliance raises the temperature enough for the frost to melt (but maintains the working temperature to keep the food frozen).
Can you refrigerate food thawed in the microwave?
absolutely. if you defrost foodstuff in microwave, keep it refrigerated until you cook it.
how mach sould i feed my dog?
With food
What is defrost?
Allowing frozen food to thaw either by leaving out in room temperature or in a microwave defrost cycle. Or when a refrigerator temporarily warms up to melt away frost in the freezer compartment.
Can defrosted turkey be cooked and refrozen?
You can refreeze any food after its been defrosted as long as you cook it. What you should never do is defrost food and then freeze it again raw. It's very dangerous to do that.
Do you defrost fish food before feeding?
Yes it is best to defrost the food before feeding to goldfish, or fish in general, it's easier for the fish to eat it and they will not become "chilled" by eating the food if it is already defrosted.
What should you do if frozen food delivered as it is thawing?
i should defrost it
What are possibly risk involved with defrosting food?
The most unsafe way to defrost food would be to leave it out on the counter at room temperature. That would allow pathogenic microbes to grow and/or form toxins. Quick-thaw methods can be used as long as the food is immediately cooked.
Defrost Foods Safely In The Microwave ?
The convection microwave is ideal for defrosting foods. To defrost, remove the foods from packaging that is not safe for the microwave such as foam trays and plastic wrapping because they do not tolerate high temperatures and tend to melt or warp which may cause harmful chemicals to be absorbed by the food. For best results, select lids or wraps that are safe for the microwave. Use the Time Defrost setting and set the timer as a reminder when defrosting and never let food defrost for more than two hours. Be sure to defrost foods completely before cooking in the microwave. If foods are partially frozen, uneven cooking will result. Cook foods immediately after they have defrosted.
What is a reason for not thawing food at room temperature?
yes,but it will take a while its better to leave it under cold water for about 8 mintues
How do you preserve food is precooking the food with radiation the answer?
no. placing food in a refrigerator will slow down bacteria growth while placing it in a freezer will completely stop the growth. Therefore if your not going to use food right away, I suggest you place it in a freezer to maintain freshness. If you are dealing with meat and you'd like to defrost it, put it in a refrigerator a couple of days before your going to prepare the food. DO NOT place meat on a counter to defrost because it should not be kept out at room temperature for too long because harmful bacteria will be having a party with the meat. lol:P I hope I helped :)
