Can cooked crabs be eaten overnight? Cooked crabs should not be stored at room temperature for more than 4 hours. So, is there no safety hazard after eating cooked crabs? That depends on how well you cook the crab. Many people are greedy for fresh food and simply steam it before turning off the fire. In fact, this is also very risky. According to research, the infection rate of paragonimiasis is 20% when eating a slightly hot river crab; Eating pickled crabs and drunken crabs leads to the infection rate of paragonimiasis as high as 55%. Studies have shown that the resistance of Paragonimus metacercariae is very strong, and it can be killed only by soaking in water at 55℃ for 30 minutes or in 20% salt water for 48 hours. Eating crabs before they are ripe may also cause symptoms such as intestinal inflammation, edema and congestion. Therefore, it is safe to eat completely steamed crabs. The concept of complete steaming is that it will take at least 20 minutes after the water is boiled to kill the bacteria in the crab meat. Of course, it is also important to remove the crab's cheeks, heart, stomach and intestines when eating, because they all contain bacteria and viruses, and eating crabs is also a safety hazard.
It says "cook and eat now". Is there no hidden danger in steamed crabs? Not necessarily. If crabs can't be eaten in one meal, cooked crabs that have been put for a while can't be completely safe. This is because even fully steamed river crabs are easily contaminated by bacteria. In case you can't finish eating, it's best to keep the remaining crabs in a clean, cool and ventilated place for no more than 4 hours at room temperature, otherwise bacteria may breed. In a word, it is best to finish the cooked crabs as soon as possible. Of course, remember to go back to the pot and steam it again before eating.
How to keep cooked crabs overnight? If you don't finish eating that night, you can wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, or freeze it if you can. But the cooked crabs in the refrigerator should not exceed noon the next day at the latest. Remember to cook them again when you eat them again. You'd better put some Jiang Mo when eating, which is good for sterilization. Eating crabs in this way can not only ensure delicious food, but also give consideration to safety.
Method 2: If you want to eat pickled cooked crabs, try to steam them back into the pot before eating, but cover them in the frozen (non-refrigerated) layer of the refrigerator. Because the cooked crab is poisonous when exposed to fog and dew, it must be cooked again the next day, blanched with boiling water and heated for half an hour to prevent the microorganisms in the crab from being completely killed. Avoid eating crabs without seasoning, because they are cold. When eating crabs, add Jiang Mo and vinegar to prevent stomach injury. But if it is broken, it is better to throw it away. Although it is wasteful, health is more important.
Method 3 If the cooked crab is stored for a short time, it can be covered with plastic wrap and placed in a cool and ventilated place. Generally, it can be kept fresh for 6-8 hours, provided that it is cold and the temperature is low. If the weather is hot, if you want to keep the cooked crabs for a short time, you should put them in the refrigerator. In this way, crabs at noon can be kept until evening, but they can't stay overnight. If you want to store boiled crabs for a long time, such as overnight, you should put them in the freezer. However, direct freezing is easy to make boiled crabs lose water and become very dry and unpalatable. When frozen, it can be frozen with the soup of boiled crabs, which can keep the crabs delicious.
Precautions for eating cooked crabs It is not advisable to eat cooked crabs that have been stored for a long time: The stored cooked crabs are easily contaminated by bacteria, so crabs should be burned and eaten now, and should not be stored. In case you can't finish eating, the rest must be placed in a clean, cool and ventilated place. When eating, be sure to return to the pot and cook it thoroughly.
Cooked crabs need to be packed in fresh-keeping bags or plastic wrap and then put in the refrigerator to avoid food odor.
Cooked crabs frozen overnight need to be steamed again before eating the next day, which not only tastes better, but also is safer to reheat and sterilize.
Warm reminder: buy as many crabs as you eat. Be sure to buy live crabs with loud voices and golden feet. Never buy dead crabs. Crab meat is easily polluted. After washing, add a small amount of beer, steam over high fire for 8 to 10 minutes, and take out the pot. If you can't finish eating fresh food, you'd better not spend the night. If you want to eat, try to steam it back to the pot before eating. Avoid food poisoning, because high protein is easily eroded by bacteria. If it takes too long, don't eat it. Life is more expensive than money! ! ! Don't be greedy for a moment
