Food Storage and Preservation

If you freeze pine nuts IN THE SHELL, they will keep for a year or so, but not 4 years. The less amount of air in the container extends the life of the nut. When you are ready to eat them, put them a pound in a gallon of boiling water with 1/4 cup salt. After 8 minutes drain and put on a foil lined cookie sheet then bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes for soft nuts or 15 for harder nuts. They are great!

Tapioca Dextrin is used in the food industry as a carrier for flavorings and colors in dry preparations; and in liquids, to produce bland, low viscosity solutions and as a bland bulking agent.

An egg casserole should be safe to eat for up to an hour at room temperature. It is important to always refrigerated food after a hour or less.

Take your pick. You can use an electric fridge, powered by a generator, a wind turbine or solar power. There are also fridges that operate on kerosene or compressed gasses (Propane or Natural Gas) And if the island is big enough (think Hawaii) they have their own electrical system.

definitely not! If you have any dairy product that wasn't refrigerated (even for about 4-8 hours), throw it away.

Meats are kept better in the freezer. Meats can be kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days if raw and 1 to 2 days longer if cooked. Always place cooked meats in an airtight container.

Generally an apple pie should be safe to eat for a good four to five days if prepared and stored properly in the refrigerator. However the moisture level of the filling will determine the quality of the pie during this time. For example, a more tart-like pie prepared with only thinly sliced apples and a caramel glaze will likely last a week with minor compromise to the texture of the pastry crust. The pie crust in a juicy deep-dish apple pie filling, however, will become soggy quickly as the moisture from the filling is absorbed by the pastry. It's quite possible that this pie will be very unappetizing in only two or three days even if it is still safe to eat.

Fruit Spoilage

A typical SODA can is around 0.003 to 0.005". Beer cans tend to be a little thinner since they are designed to hold less pressure, (Ie.- Pop has more carbonation then beer).

This depends on temperature and humidity of your area. Left in the bread box wrapped in plastic about 3 to 5 days. Refrigerated about 7 to 10 days and frozen, several weeks.

It Will Last As Long As It Has To In Order To Satisfy Your Hunger;)

you boil it in the water for at least 1 and a half hour

Yes it does.Salt in the brine is a preservative.

Canned foods may take on funny flavors, and lose vitamins over extended periods of time, but there does not seem to be a time limit on the food being safe to eat, so long as the can is intact and is not bulging.

yes because it helps your instinks and eat it

fridges have been around for as long as the person who invnted them was alive ok it makes sense

I believe six months and then it starts to develop 'freezer burn' I believe six months and then it starts to develop 'freezer burn' I believe six months and then it starts to develop 'freezer burn' I believe six months and then it starts to develop 'freezer burn'

One slice of pineapple, that is 3.5in in diameter and 0.5in thick, should weigh about 2 ounces or 56 grams. This will give you 28 calories, 1 gram of fiber and 6grams of sugar. It also provides 26.8mg which is 45% of the daily requirement. Your 5-a-day may be different than mine because of your age and general fitness, so from here I give it back to you to work out.

it is best to check the best before date and do not eat it if it is over the time given then do not eat it!

Normally, you can't remove salt from food once it has been added.

A 1 pound turkey is about four dollars and fifty cents.

Peanut kernels should be stored in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer, because excess exposure to heat, humidity, or light will cause them to become rancid. They will keep in the refrigerator for about three months and in the freezer for up to six months. Do not chop them prior to storage; chop them right before eating them or using them in a recipe. Peanuts still in their shells can be kept in a cool, dry dark place, but keeping them in the refrigerator will extend their shelf life to about nine months.

Food preservation helps keep food readily available when fresh food is not. If it wasn't for various methods of food preservation, there would be long periods of time people would not have food; such as, during the off-seasons for gardening.

There is no magic rule about how long it takes for vegetables to spoil. That will depend on many things, including

# Which vegetable # Growing conditions # Harvesting methods # Handling post-harvest # Handling in distribution channel # Handling after purchase Potatoes generally last longer than tomatoes. Dry onions usually last longer than spring onions. Sweet corn might not 'spoil' but is not as good after a few days. Some vegetables require refrigeration, others do better without.
