Storage of Meats Poultry and Seafood

it depends on what kind of meat it is it depends on what kind of meat it is

Unlike Champagne, Asti Spumante does not ferment in the bottle and grows stale with time; it should be drunk as young as possible and preferably before it is two years old.

Foods that are left out in room temperature for more than an hour can begin bacteria growth. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacterias but not all and some can make you very sick. Keep foods OUT of the danger zone- Above 45 degrees and Below 145 degrees. Between these temperatures bacteria lives and breeds on our foods.

Yes, but there is not much point. Assuming the package has not been opened and the mushrooms exposed to air, it's better to just store the package in a cupboard and save your freezer space for other things :)

Ofcourse if there unfrozen!!! Is there any concern about toxins in freezing uncooked crab legs?

If the meat has been cooked, eat it within 24 hours of completely defrosting. The sooner the better.

The point to actual spoilage is uncertain and will depend on a number of variables, including whether or not it is cooked, the bacterial load to begin with, how it has been handled, the temperature at which it is stored (there are hot and cold spots in the fridge) and how it is packaged.

Raw turkey should be cooked within a couple days of thawing from frozen. If it is purchased fresh, use within a couple days or follow label guidelines.

Cooked turkey could last up to 4 days.

Fully Cooked Bacon, Pepperoni - refrigerate, use within three weeks, got this from the hormel web site.

No. Ground meat in particular is dangerous to leave at room temperature. Any bacteria that were on the surface of the meat have been ground up and are now inside the meat. Leaving it at room temperature has permitted growth of bacteria.

well are you thinking about eating it still frozen? I prefer it to be thawed and then cooked. Maybe I'm crazy though...

Depending on how long they are or were left at room temperature. Bacteria begins to grow on foods left out at room temperature after just one hour. The longer left out the more chance of bacteria.

This food will keep for about 5 days in the refrigerator. Place the food in an air tight container for the best results. This food can easily be transferred to the freezer for longer storage time.

Up to 2 weeks after ripening

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.

No, frozen is frozen. But you can refreeze something that has been thawed. You can refreeze thawed meat long as there are still ice crystals on it. Once completely thawed then you need to cook it first then refreeze.

This applies to solid pieces only, ground meat once more than half thawed needs to be cooked first then refrozen always.

Pork (pig)

Beef (cow)

Veal (young cow)

Chicken (...chicken)

Duck (...duck)

Venison (deer)

Mutton (Sheep)

Lamb (young sheep, a lamb)

Ham (pig)(different from pork)

Rabbit (... rabbit)

Bear (... bear)

If you're not Catholic, fish is commonly considered a meat. During Lent, devote Catholics give up eating meat (mainly on Fridays), but are still able to eat fish... hence not a meat. Take it as you will : )

Sorry, can't think of any more at the moment.

Meats do not last long in the refrigerator. Only about 3 to 4 days if it is raw. Then 1 to 2 days longer if cooked and placed in an airtight container. You should always cover meats when stored in the fridge.

providing your refrigerator is working correctly, i.e. 5 degrees centigrade or under, and the fish is covered then it can last for 3 days, obviously the sooner you cook it the better it will taste

NO. Cooking a turkey that has gone bad will not destroy the bacteria, and it will cause serious illness to anyone who eats it. You need to discard the turkey; it's not worth people getting sick.

It can be, but it is not desirable to do so. The fish could not have been thawed for long and would have to have been thawed under refrigeration. Freezing it again will adversely affect the quality of the fish. You might consider cooking it first, then freezing it.

1-2 days unless smoked

Only for about 2 days.

First of all, meat should not be allowed to thaw out overnight outside of the fridge - especially hamburger. Even with that mishandling, if the ground beef still smells and feels like fresh hamburger with no off odors or sliminess and you decide to use it, make sure it is thoroughly cooked. It is your decision whether or not to use it, but no one here can tell you it is safe to use. When in doubt, don't.

No more than one hour. Left without refrigeration too long and the food begins to spoil, which means bacteria start forming that could make you ill if you ate tainted food.

This food will only last a few days. 3 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.
