What is the best way to store them? In the refridge or out?
Being in the food business and understanding something about micro, I do not understand how anybody would take a chance on getting food poisoning.
If it comes in a glass, plastic, or can container, and you open it, you should refrigerate it. Why take the chance?
I was unfortunate enough to get exposed to Salmonella. I was in the hospital for more than a week. Almost died. And on top of that, had to provide stool samples for almost 5 months before two in a row came up negative. You DO NOT want to be taking any pathogen into your body. It is not fun.
Wash your hands.
Do not use the same plate for the cooked food as you did for the raw food.
Wash your hands
Cook your meat to 146 or more internal.
Did I say wash your hands?
Refrierate cooked leftovers right away.
Do not eat cold leftovers of cooked food.
ServSafe Certified and NYC Food Handlers certified... I don't want to sound sarcastic..but if you only cook chicken to 146 you most assuredly run the risk of salmonella poisoning. I realize you said meat and not poultry...but beef that has been handled correctly can be safely served at 130.
Refrigerating cooked leftovers isn't really enough if you want to quickly chill food to 40 degrees. You have to spread it out, permitting more surface to be chilled.
Never have I ever heard of any danger in eating cold leftovers. What are you basing that on? The first thing that came to mind was roast turkey in the deli shoppe....what is that other than cold, previously roasted turkey?
I store anything in a bottle in the refrigerator once opened though ketchup doesn't need to be. Oh and Vera try Malt Vinegar on your fries you will never go back to ketchup.
Mr. Bomb, youve just been spanked!!! Juuuuuust kidding, but Vera that is some damn good info! Infact you remind me I have to get a meat thermometer.
