What is food preservation means?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Food preservation is one of the methods to protect food from unwanted microbial growth. After the food is produced, we store and protect by covering the rice and curry with lids to keep away flies and other insects. By this, we are protecting it from any infection caused by them. This is a short-term condition. Food preservation, on the other hand, is done to preserve food for a longer time.

Does jar cocktail sauce expire?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Store bought, unopened and properly stored: a very long time (at least 18 months).

Opened but well refrigerated: opinions vary, from 3 days to 3 months.

The good news: in both cases, it doesn't become dangerous if you go over the limit (within reason), but it does become less appetizing.

Who were the Falasha and how did they preserve their culture?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jewish Ethiopians. The Falasha call themselves House of Israel and claim descent from Menilek I, son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Probably descended from local Agew peoples converted by Jews in southern Arabia, they remained faithful to Judaism after the Ethiopian kingdom was converted to Christianity in the 4th century . Persecuted by Christians, they settled in the area around Lake Tana in northern Ethiopia. Though ignorant of the Talmud, members adhered strictly to the Mosaic law and observed some festivals of Judaism.

Is a dead lobster safe to eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

How long has it been dead? When you buy lobster tails, ONLY, in the stores, the reason they are there is the live lobster died before they could properly package it. The tail is the only part that is safe to eat from a "dead" lobster. They have been dead for a VERY short time.

What kind of warm?

Some people say that heated warm milk helps them fall asleep. If you left the milk out too long, then it could become sour and possibly make you sick. Usually if it smells and tastes okay, it is fine. However, warm milk will not last as long as that that has been kept refrigerated.

Why is gum wrapped in foil?

Chewing gum is wrapped and packaged in strips because it is alot easier than wrapping it round...you can just fold the "paper" easily. * Try making a round piece of chewing gum, wrap it, and then see if the wrapping will stay... SEE HOW HARD IT IS!!

How many times can you freeze a piece of beef?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Just once. Bacteria build up during defrosting and remain in the meat when frozen again when you defrost the beef again the bacteria start off with a much greater number then multiply rapidly and so can be hazardous. You can defrost beef then cook it and then freeze again but again just once.

If the beef was handled properly - was fresh when first frozen and was thawed under refrigeration - you could re-freeze it if it has not started to spoil. The meat will degrade in quality with each freeze-thaw cycle, making it drier. It is better to cook it, then freeze it. See Related Links.

Can smart balance buttery spread be frozen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It says right on the cover-"do not freeze"

It states not to freeze the "Light Buttery Spread" version only. All other Buttery

Spreads are OK to freeze. I stay away from freezing all Smart Balance products.

Quote from website:

Most Smart Balance® Buttery Spreads and all Smart Balance® Butter Blend Sticks can be frozen until the "best by" date printed on the packages. Smart Balance® Light Buttery Spread varieties should not be frozen due to their lower fat content.
