Learning to Store Food

  When it comes to food that has already been prepared and what will be stored are leftovers, these should be placed in shallow containers so they can cool down a bit and be put in the refrigerator immediately. Many people wait for the food to cool to room temperature before putting it in the freezer, which is a serious mistake. Food, especially in hot weather, cannot stay out for too long. Meats, poultry, or seafood that begin to spoil should be thrown away immediately; the freezing process does not help stop that process. It is recommended that to thaw meat or any other food, it should be done in the refrigerator, and if you're in a hurry, there are two options: place the food under a constant stream of water or put it in a microwave using the defrost button. IMPORTANT NOTE: There are people who leave meat out for long hours in the sink to thaw, and that helps bacteria multiply. Recommended cooking recipes:
