How much is stored in the refrigerator soup - 3 mandatory rules

Soup - a traditional first course, which must be stored properly.

Active rhythm of life forces us to prepare food for future use. We know that the pasta and meatballs excellent stand for several days in the cold. And what to do with liquid dish? How long can you keep the soup in the refrigerator? I share my observations with you.

3 features proper storage

According to sanitary regulations the first dish should be eaten within three hours after preparation.

Approved health standards say that soups are classified as perishable products:

• by the standards of liquid food to eat within three hours after preparation.
• If the soup is pre-cool, Its period of storage in the refrigerator will be up to 18 hours at a temperature of 2-4 ° C.

Violation of the requirements contributes to product spoilage.

Extend the life of first courses by using the refrigerator and freezer.

General rules:

1. Temperature. It should be observed constant temperature refrigerator mode. No more than 2-6 ° C.
2. Tableware. Well it kept only soup in an enamel and glass containers.

In the glass and enamelware food are not oxidized.

I strongly recommend not to store the first dishes in aluminum and stainless steel containers - they can produce harmful substances.

1. Protection. To the broth has not lost its taste qualities, it is necessary to remove the spoons and ladles of the container. Required to close the lid tightly.

Pouring a liquid on the plates and transfer it to a lower capacity is necessary ladle clean.
