How long can cooked meat be kept

The shelf life of cooked pork or other meat is relatively short. They are usually kept fresh in the refrigerator or refrigerated. The shelf life is relatively short and they should be eaten within one or two days, otherwise they will become smelly. If they are kept in the refrigerator, they can be kept for several months. Therefore, everyone should store food according to their needs. It is best to eat fresh food and do not keep pork or other meats for too long.

Fully cooked meat can be kept in the refrigerator for 7 days and in the freezer for 3 months.

Although some long-stored foods in the refrigerator still look fresh on the outside, they have actually gone bad and cannot be eaten. For example, a roast chicken that has been stored in the refrigerator for 6 days still looks fresh, but laboratory tests show that it has grown hundreds of thousands of harmful bacteria and has begun to deteriorate. Therefore, cooked meat should not be stored in the refrigerator for more than 4 days.

In addition, plastic wrap, tin foil, etc. can make the food in the refrigerator taste fresh, but they cannot extend the shelf life of the food itself; keeping the refrigerator temperature at about 4°C is most conducive to extending the shelf life of food.

Food storage period in the refrigerator:

1. The temperature in the freezer is about -18℃. It can store fresh or frozen meat, fish, poultry, as well as cooked food, with a storage period of about 3 months. This room can quickly freeze fresh fish and meat that need to be stored for a long time to maximize the freshness of the food.

2. The temperature in the refrigerator is about 5°C, and raw and cooked food can be refrigerated for about one week. Fruits and vegetables should be stored in fruit and vegetable boxes (temperature 8°C) and wrapped with plastic wrap.

3. The ice-temperature fresh-keeping room located at the top of the refrigerator has a temperature of about 0°C and can be used to store fresh meat, fish, shellfish, dairy products and other foods. It can keep them fresh without freezing and can be used at any time. The storage period is about three days. The ice-temperature fresh-keeping room can also be used as a thawing room for frozen food.
