Freezing will keep most foods safe for a long time, but from a quality standpoint, many foods will not taste good after extended periods of time. Guidelines on foodsafety.gov recommend freezing various foods for anywhere from 1-2 months up to a year for best quality.

It is hard to say since cooking can remove 99.9 percent. The more bacteria present in the food, the higher the chance that after cooking it will have some bacteria.

No, you cannot kill Salmonella in the freezer because once the temperature starts to reach 40 deg F the bacteria will hybernate (become spores) to preserve itself. The only way to kill Salmonella is to cook at a minimum of 150 deg F. Placing your food in the freezer will only slow down it's growth. the guy who wrote this is stupid.. you can! I've done it!

Drying food is done for preservation of food. Dried food can be either sun dried, spray dried (only in case of powder) or freeze dried. Freeze dried food is best method for food drying as no heating of food is required in this method so nutrient loss occur in freeze drying. For example freeze dried acai powder is more beneficial than spray dried one.

Freeze Dried food are costlier than food dried by any other ways as freeze drying process require use of some costly equipments.

There is air whipped into the ice cream base. The air prevents solid freezing. If you just put the ice cream base in a freezer with no agitation, it would freeze into a solid block. One of the main differences between premium ice cream and the cheap stuff is the amount of air incorporated into the base, the other is the amount of butterfat.

Refrigerators should be set at 40°F maximum.

Cooked brisket should not be unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. At that point, it should be re-heated or refrigerated.

To DRY OUT PAPAYA SEEDS from a fresh papaya: Roll the seeds between paper towels to pop the juice sacks. Once all the juice sacks are popped you are left with a black seed kernel. Place the seeds between dry paper towels and set aside to dry out for at least a week.

maybe. but it might not taste the same way that it is supposed to taste if it is for a certain recipie. :)

If you have raw frozen pork and you let it thaw, it is not a good idea to refreeze it. You can cook it and then freeze it. This way would be safer.

The food in the freezer might still be OK. The food in the refrigerator is a different story. If potentially hazardous items like meat and milk have reached temperatures over 40°F for more than 2 hours, you really should discard them.

Sorry I don't know but would love to. I have a recipe that calls for putting glasses in freezer for 1/2 hour but the only suitable glasses I have are crystal.

For best quality, opened, dried cranberries should be used within 12 months if stored below 65°F; 18 months if stored below 45°F. Best storage is at low humidity, so refrigeration is excellent for storage.

Live mussels should not be frozen. The mussels should be fully cooked before freezing. Cook them in a broth and freeze both the mussels and the broth.

for one billion hours that's why it cost so much for dehydrated food.

Months to years, if the food is properly dehydrated in a food dehydrator. Use a dehydrator to remove the food's moisture, allow the food to cool after drying and then store the food in an airtight container.

There are many foods and meals that you can cook ahead and freeze to eat later. Some foods that freeze well include, meatloaf, meatballs, lasagna, stuffed shells, stuffed cabbage, stuffed peppers, and roasts.

Any food frozen will last forever and be safe to eat. The longer it is frozen, the quality of the food will decrease, meaning it may be off in color and not taste as fresh. Be sure to watch for freezer burn.
