Storage of semi-finished products

Storage of semi-finished products implies three main rules:

• do not try to make semi-finished productselement of your diet. No matter how much any manufacturer defends itself, the domestic chicken looks more presentable and nutritious in soup than frozen factory chickens, besides, storing semi-finished products from home products is not as dangerous as from factory ones;


• advice to young housewives and unmarried: Do not try to deceive your man, as inadvertising famous noodles. The man is keenly aware of where the semi-finished product is, and where the presents are from the village, so he will be very upset if, instead of dumplings made with love, you offer him a semi-finished product.

So, consider storage of semi-finished products, belonging to different product categories.

Meat. Meat semi-finished products are very sensitive tohome temperature. Storage of semi-finished products from meat depends on portions. Large pieces of meat can be stored in the freezer for up to 48 hours, small pieces - up to 24 hours, bird carcasses - 36 hours. Bones are stored for 3 hours, and unsteamed minced meat - 5-6 hours. The storage temperature of meat semi-finished products should be 5-6 ° C. Not recommended mix fresh semi-finished products with wastewho became inveterate. If you unfrozen meat, but it did not come in handy, try to still use it for a day, otherwise its use can lead to bad consequences.

A fish. Semi-finished fish products are recommended not to be storedmore than 12 hours at a temperature of 8 ° C. Do not try to keep the fish in the freezer for as long as possible. Does it soothe you that it is covered with a layer of ice or too salty? In principle, yes, this prolongs the shelf life, but this fish turns into a fresh tasteless product. You can save fish only with spices and side dishes, but with long storage it loses its flavor and useful qualities, so it makes no sense to eat such a fish. If you also take into account that fish semi-finished products are sold under a layer of polyethylene, you can imagine what this product breathes. Your task is to quickly release the fish and cook it.

Semi-finished products from dough. The dough, perhaps, is the most cunning in all thisa set of semi-finished products. The quality of your dish depends on how it is stored. Such semi-finished products should not be frozen too much. The temperature of 18-20 ° C is a more favorable temperature for storing the dough, and it's worth worrying that the packaging is moisture and airtight, sealed, cold-resistant and soft. The dough should not be dehydrated and turned into a piece of ice. Storage of semi-finished products from dough should not exceed 3 days.

Vegetables, fruits, berries, greens. These products "with character" should be stored inseparate cells of the freezer compartment, because they absorb odors and do not contact the neighbors well. If the berries are stored with herbs, then the greens when used will smell like a persistent berry cocktail. Vegetables and fruits behave in the same way in the freezer. The period for storing vegetables and fruits is not fixed, but as soon as you notice stains or dents, you can not continue storage. Greens are stored for a long time, up to 48 hours, but berries begin to turn sour after 12 hours, especially raspberries, strawberries and strawberries. Storage of semi-finished products in the form of vegetable assortments needs special attention, because the assorted products spoil every other day, especially if they contain potatoes and cauliflower. These products begin to turn black and become unsuitable for use. In addition, they spread to all other vegetables the unpleasant smell of a damp vegetable.

Canned food. If you buy cannedsemi-finished products, do not flatter yourself that they can be stored for a very long time. Of course, at a very low temperature, they are prone to longevity, but if you have discovered them, try to shift from a tin can to another glass, enameled or glassware. In hot weather in the absence of a refrigerator canned food is stored no more than 3 days. Remember that storing semi-finished products in the form of canned products should not be eternal.

Storage of semi-finished products is a simple process, just need to be vigilant and respect your health. Also, do not get hung up on semi-finished products. Despite the saving of time and money, what seems to be plus semis, there is an obvious minus: an unnecessary waste of time and money. Such a paradox is justified by the fact that not everyone knows how to properly handle semi-finished products. But if it is more convenient for you to eat, try to correctly calculate the time, budget and shelf life of semi-finished products.
