Storage of Fruits and Vegetables

This food will only last a few days. 4 days in the refrigerator if the food is stored properly. Place in an air tight container for the best results. You can transfer the food to the freezer if longer storage is needed.

I think the last for a few weeks. I am not sure though. I have had some green apples in my fridge for about 4 weeks and they are not bad yet.

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.

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.

In the refrigerator peas should keep for a few days. Be sure to keep them in a zip lock bag and not in a can.

The bacteria associated with potato salad is "staphylococcus aureus" known commonly as "golden staph".

about 3 or 4 days

I would rub it lightly with either apple-juice or lemon-juice before storing it, as this will help to prevent discolouration by the air. I would also put it into a plastic box, or wrap it in cling-film, to protect it, and to help delay spoilage.

Not very long. Fish is very sensitive to warm temperatures and should remain under refrigeration until it is being prepped for consumption.

Yes, beef can be frozen for a considerable time and still be edible. However, it must have been frozen quickly, thoroughly, and consistently. If you are in an area with frequent power failures, you might have to assume the beef was not frozen consistently. Partial thawing and refreezing will yield cell destruction and growth of very problematic bacteria. Excellent wrapping is also essential for long-term freezing. After a year, poorly wrapped beef will be dry and icky.

They're good for about a week.

Commercially prepared baked beans should keep for at least a week after opening, if stored in a refrigerator, in a sealed non-metallic container. I've frequently kept them for 10 days without any problems.

Depends on what the food was and what the weather was like overnight. Bacteria starts to proliferate around 45 degrees fahrenheit, but keeping food well below 40 degrees is necessary to protect its quality. If it was a really chilly night, I wouldn't worry about it. My mother used to keep milk in the car overnight in the middle of winter (when the ave night time temp is about 35) if there wasn't immediately any room in the refrigerator, then would grab it in the morning! We never got sick!

Definitely oranges, from personal experience. They will mold first where they are touching a surface. If the bottom of your orange seems to have flattened, then likely there is mold under there.

If you put bananas that have not been peeled in the fridge the skin will turn black. The banana itself will still be fine. I know this because during humid weather i put them in the fridge so they don't go mushy.

Nothing canned can be frozen as the water inside will freeze and expand squashing the potatoes. Canned food can last for years so you don't need to freeze them.

How long can you store mashed sweet potato in the fridge

That will depend upon the condition of the apple when placed on the counter, the ambient temperature and humidity, and the apple's pedigree. Some varieties keep longer than others. Some do better without refrigeration than others. But all apples do best under refrigeration.

You shouldn't use the older canning jars for several reasons. They may "explode" when the cool air hits the jar as you move it out of the hot water or at any time during the cooling down period. They may not seal well and the food could become contaminated or poisonous. The bottom could simply "fall off" in the water during the canning process, releasing the food within the jar out into the water. Also, the older jars were not made for pressure canning and may not withstand the pressure.

Sure, it should work. The syrup may not harden all the way though.

well it really matters on witch fruit it is, but i would say if it was not refrigerated i would have to say about around 3 weeks. trust me you herd it from an 11 year old girl who likes Phil Collins.

If it is properly covered, it might last two weeks. It is best eaten within the first week. You can usually cut off any rusty or slimy leaves to find good lettuce inside. The core becomes yellow and bitter over time.
