Refrigerators

That depends. If you want foods that last longer, and are cheaper buy foods with preservatives. If you want foods that are healthier( foods with preservatives are most likely going to have extra fat, sugar and salt ) and are natural in taste, ( Some artificially preserved foods have an artificial taste that isn't as satifying as the real thing ) buy foods without artificial preservatives. It depends. Generally, avoid anything with nitrates. Some of the preservatives have been shown to have no negative effects, but nitrates seem to cause problems.

It is formally served at room temperature, so it has to sit out during the duration of the meal.

Although, it is up to you to decide wether you want it from the fridge or room temperature.

Some people actually enjoy from the fridge, as everybody is different. :)

0-5 degrees Celsius/Centigrade, which is 32 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit.

The main reason 41°F is considered acceptable is because it is the equivalent of 5°C. In the US, the temperature danger zone is 140°F (135°F according to the 2005 Food Code) to 40°F. Vacuum-packaged seafood should be held at 38°F or below.

Bacteria can form on food after one hour at room temperature.

Eggs can spoil very easy.You should keep foods out of the danger zone to prevent bacteria from forming on foods. Bacteria can form on foods in the danger zone after just an hour. According to the US FDA 2009 Food Code, the danger zone is 135°F to 41°F.

A refrigerator is a noun and as such will not have an opposite. However, if you refrigerate something, the antonym would be to cook or heat.

A refrigerator is something that cools things. An opposite could be a freezer which freezes things or a heater which heats things.

things appear to be ok even after a month or months but there are certain varities of fungus or moulds which grow up - such varieties are even more harmful and poisonous than others ( which grow up a culture in a day or two at room temp.), and they may not get killed even after boiling so my advice is avoid anything over 7 - 10 days until it contains preservatives or has not been opened

Kitchenaid refrigerators come in all different styles such as side-by-side, french-door, bottom-freezer and compact. These refrigerators may be purchased at Best Buy, Lowes and directly from the Kitchenaid official web site.

Generally deli products can last for a few months if they're not open from their original package. Once opened, the items can easily spoil in a matter of a week or less. I would say you have approximately 3-5 days depending on refrigeration.

If the refrigerator and freezer have been working properly, it would be extremely unusual to have gnats in both. I can think of a few possibilities:

# The freezer and refrigerator have been turned off for a while. (gaskets loosen) # Someone leaves the doors open way too long. # The refrigerator is set too warm and the gnats come in with the food. (very unlikely) You might check to make sure they are indeed gnats and not fruit flies.

That depends on the environment you're bringing the Chocolate Mousse into. If you're just leaving it in a fair-temperature room (about 75 degrees), it should last two to four hours before it needs to be thrown away.

That is where the condenser coil is. The condenser coil is supposed to be hot. Be sure to keep it clean so it functions optimally.

A fridge works by taking heat from the food inside, and pumping it out to the radiator panel outside. Logically, the panel will need to disperse/spread the heat to the outside environment, making it quite hot.

According to the Clemson University Extension article "Safe Handling of Seafood" cooked shrimp stays good in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

I'm in the process studying for my epa test and this is one of the questions and their answer is foaming occurs in the compressor.

There are many different types of fridges and freezers. Some fridges come with the refrigerator on the side next to the freezer. Also, some freezers are located at the bottom of the refrigerator, and some at the top.

1 or 2 days in the fridge once it is soaked in lemon juice and not surrounded by anything else because then that turkey will give the other foods (salmonella).

yes, it is safe to eat out of an open can that has been in the refrigerator. Because I do it myself some of the time but, not all the time. Make sure that if you are going to do this so. Then the canned food item must have not been sitting in the refrigerator for too long periods of time to the point that the canned food item is unsafe to eat. For, example over two months or years, if this is so, then it must be thrown away.

Raw potatoes should NEVER be refrigerated, since doing so brings out all the sugars & starches. Cooked, however, may be stored in the fridge for no more than two days,making sure they are covered.

I am a chef.

Lowering the temperature of food, as in a refrigerator, slows down the action of bacteria and mold, the principal causes of spoilage. Unless the food is deep-frozen, however, bacteria and molds do continue to act on foods and they will eventually spoil, even in a refrigerator.

Viability of a FERTILIZED egg will drop if kept in the refrigerator for any length of time.

Cool about 50F (not cold) and dark with good humidity is the normal way of saving fertile eggs for incubation. A maximum of 7 days. After the seven day period the first save lose better than 50% of their chance at hatch and that drops daily for every extra day saved thereafter.

Depends on the humidity of the area, how much food is inside the fridge, and the temperature that is set. Many different foods can cause others to spoil quicker. Soup would typically last around 3-4 days if encased properly, I've never made broccoli soup so I can't give you an exact answer. However, most likely the broccoli will cause it to spoil quicker. Some folk put their soup in the freezer for much longer storage, but with anything you put in the freezer, it has to be concealed tightly. Otherwise the taste most likely wont be to you're liking.

No food safety person would recommend that lasagna would be safe to eat after it was left out overnight.

Throw it out. I would not recommend eating anything left out overnight that contains ANY form of dairy (this includes the ricotta cheese in the lasagna), meat, eggs, or anything that contains a single ingredient that should be stored in the refrigerator.

Yes, if they are not kept sufficiently drowned in the oil or brine.
If you buy them "dry" in bulk at the market, in a simple plastic bag, there's definitely a risk. You'll be able to keep them for a relatively long time if you keep the bag perfectly closed with a minimum amount of air, but still not as much as if they were in a jar.
Also, if they are not packaged in the traditional way but in an industrial tin can that you can not close, they will only survive for a short time.

If kept in a jar, you can easily keep them in perfect condition for a full year. You could have some mould developing on the surface but it has no consequence on the olives below this surface.
