The refrigerator is not everything. Cooked food stored in the freezer has a shelf life.

Generally, the temperature near the refrigerator door is the highest, and the one near the back of the refrigerator is the coldest. The upper layer is warmer and the lower layer is colder. It is suggested that meat can be placed in the middle and lower floors. If there is a fresh-keeping box, meat should be stored in the fresh-keeping box. Because the temperature of the refrigerator at home will change with the time of use, the actual shelf life is shorter than the original shelf life. Usually frozen meat with fat can't be stored for more than 3 months; Lean meat should not exceed six months; Seafood is best eaten within one month.

Second, what are the hazards of cooked frozen meat

Meat is a kind of high-protein food. If it is stored in the refrigerator for too long, microorganisms and bacteria will grow and multiply rapidly. At this time, the surface of the meat will be sticky and discolored, and at the same time, there will be stench and mildew. In addition, after freezing and thawing, it will not only harden the fiber of meat, but also cause the loss of nutrition.

Third, what is the difference in the shelf life of different frozen meats

Meat should be kept at MINUS 18 degrees after freezing. According to international standards, the shelf life of cooked frozen meat is usually two years. Red meat, including pigs, cattle and mutton, usually has a shelf life of about one year. Among them, beef fiber is the most stable, lean meat is better preserved, and fat meat is not easy to preserve. Although these can be preserved for a long time, cooked frozen meat stored for a long time should not be processed and eaten, because it not only tastes bad, but also is not conducive to human health.

4. How to distinguish the frozen meat with problems

1. Usually, the surface of the frozen meat without problems is white. If the surface of the frozen meat has a dark color, it means that there is something wrong with the frozen meat, which usually shows yellow or black, and if it is frozen in the refrigerator for a long time, the surface of the meat will condense thick ice.

2. if it is frozen for a long time, the meat will go bad, and the cooked meat will become very dry.

3. Fresh frozen meat feels smooth when taken out of the refrigerator, and there is no peculiar smell after thawing. The frozen meat in question feels rough and smells bad after thawing, and there will be juice oozing after cutting.

4. The fresh, high-quality frozen meat doesn't smell any peculiar smell, the meat with the second quality may smell slightly ammonia or sour, while the completely deteriorated frozen meat can smell serious peculiar smell.

No matter what kind of meat, pork, mutton, beef, chicken, etc., mainly cooked frozen meat should not be stored for too long, and the longest time should not exceed 6 months. If it exceeds this time, just don't eat it and throw it away.
