How to store red caviar in a plastic jar: tips

Red caviar is a healthy and nutritious product. Usually it is bought for the future for the New Year holidays and it is not always possible to eat this abundance. Then you have to study options for preservation, as well as select containers.

Features of storing red caviar in a plastic jar

PVC containers - the cheapest and safest option for carefully retaining the properties of red caviar. In such cans, they sell both a delicacy packaged in a production environment and a bulk product.

Before buying, be sure to read the terms indicated on the bank by the manufacturer.

Check the quality before freezing or long-term storage. It should have black dots on each fragment (future fry), approximately the same size, not stick together, not spread, burst when pressed.

It is important to understand that quality caviar will not come cheap. A kilogram of a good product costs from one and a half thousand rubles.

Shelf life in the refrigerator

In stores and industrial warehouses, the delicacy is packaged in factory cans, stored at a certain temperature in refrigerators. The term depends on the quality of the preparation of the filling and container.

To preserve the eggs for 4 months, the container is washed well, dried, greased with oil or a concentrated solution of sodium chloride. Then the product is poured and covered with oil-soaked food paper. Then they are sealed with a lid, the main thing is that it fits snugly and does not allow air to pass through.

A plastic container with a broken tightness is valid for 3 to 5 days.

Shelf life in the freezer

Contrary to claims that caviar does not lend itself to freezing and becomes unusable after being stored in a freezer, this is not the case. If you correctly prepare the product and perform the "express" procedure, the delicacy will be saturated with vitamins, and will also retain its structure and consistency.

When preparing, it is important to consider several factors:

• containers should be washed and dried, as well as oiled, as in the previous storage option;
• caviar is pre-washed and dried with paper towels, removing excess moisture;
• divide the volume into portions, which are enough for one meal.

Re-freezing of the product is not possible!

The period of stay of containers in the zone of increased cold is no more than 12 months. It is recommended to defrost it in the refrigerator until it is completely defrosted. In the microwave, under running water or just on the table, it can lose its beneficial properties.

At room temperature

It is not recommended to eat a product that has stood on the table at normal temperature for more than a day. He is capable of becoming hazardous to health. This is especially true of opened containers, where the process of oxidation and reproduction of harmful bacteria began.

Thus, it is possible and even often recommended to store caviar in plastic containers. Suppliers who sell the product by weight transport caviar in large plastic containers that are tightly sealed with sealed lids. It is important that temperature conditions are observed during transportation.
