before it goes bad?

3 days can? I want to cook 3 batches of curry jiken.

Put in freezer lo.

Store leftover curry in an airtight container. Keep curry in the fridge for up to four days. Your curry needs to cool down to room temperature before placing it in the fridge. Freeze curry for up to six months.

Immediately freeze 7-30 days can tahan. If you dun use milk or santan can last longer. Add when want to eat. Ppl who say can keep for months haven’t kena bacterial infections before. If wait for cooling, will be breeding ground for bacteria. Straight freezer.

if you finish within a week.. shouldn't be an issue la... but in freezer, pack in small batches

TS wants to kill 3 chickens and /k tards helping TS

Don't forget to sterilise it with Gamma Radiation...

Put in freezer

this

Freezer 1 month ok

curry chicken max 1 week for me in freezer

I see, so put it in freezer while it’s still hot?

Straight freezer when the curry is still hot, sure or not?

If possible, to prevent food poisoning bacteria growth.

lol, never to place hot food in refrigerator/freezer, its gonna cause condensation/ icing and also you are inducing bacteria in the fridge that might effect other food as well.

as for you initial question , curry is good to keep for a week in the fridge, if needs longer term, then freezer is the place to store

hello food poisoning

iinm
bawah 3 days max
atas 2 bulan

This is how I do it with chicken curry or curry base (both without santan).

After cooking, place pot in sink with water and ice to cool down. Be careful not to let any of the sink water get into the pot! When it's no longer hot (just warm), portion into freezer bags. Partially seal the freezer bags and let them soak in ice water till cool. Remove as much air as possible and totally seal the bags then place in freezer.

The longest I've kept it frozen is 3 weeks, no problems....BUT there is a marked degradation of flavor when compared to fresh-cooked or cooked-yesterday's curries.

Nope. Some freezers will break down after you put hot food into them. That's why you need to use airtight container. Initial heat will kill all the bacteria and as long as you didn't open the container after it cools, then it will last longer when you put it into freezer.

After cook, let it cool down untouched, then into freezer.

Can last a full week at least till u take out. Brave enough u can store it forever just like typical frozen food but encourage u eat fresh la.

I put in freezer
Cook one big pot for 5 days meal
Then divide into smaller containers portion per meal

Want to eat, deforest it earlier. Then later either steam it hot or put into microwave.

1 year

you won't kena food poisoning, but the taste will be terrible

1) nowadays fridges have auto defrost function kan?

2) how do you induce bacteria by placing hot curry which has arguably less bacteria compared to cooled curry?

deep freeze it - it can last for months.

but once defrost and heat up kena makan semua - don't simpan balik.

Ziplock then into freezer

hot curry might break the glass in fridge due to thermal shock

but bacteria don't think so

Cook,cool,vacuum pack,keep in freezer can last for years
In chiller up to 2 weeks

Chiller or freezer, do you guys measure the temperature inside the fridge/freezer? Apparently, from googling, freezer is recommended to have -15 to -18degC, while the non freezer is iirc 3-5 degC.

Ah, I see what you mean. Makes sense.

Food taste best just out from kitchen

I read somewhere if you let it cool, bacteria can grow faster.

Insta pack and freezer container can, but if chiller to makan tmr and day after tmr, better wait it cool down first. You can always leave it in pot until it cool down before separating them into batches. Don't la after cook straight divide few container open air kasi cool down. That's not cooldown. That's allowing bacteria to breed attempt. Big hearted man betul.

Citations needed

Regardless, the main thing about cooling food before fridge is just to protect the fridge from wear. The increased temperature while cooling hot food in fridge may affect other food stored.

Thanks for the confirmation. As a restoran/takeaway owner, you will know better. Same like the chefs on tv who vacumn pack food and dump in the freezer, later put in hot water to heat up to serve.

That step is actually pretty fakap (As someone that went through that, I've found out that not all vacuum pack is made equal. You may thought its safe to take out, heat in hot water and then bukak open serve, but in fact, getting a aluminium foiled packaging is more safer than the plastic one. If you can, try not to heat food in plastic, regardless how safe it was or you were told)

But again, The least air you letak masuk that container or packaging, the longer it retain the freshness. I think that's the gist of it. Just gotta ensure its tutup, not open.

Scientifically true, more air means more bacteria . I’m also not partial to food boiled in a plastic bag. I don’t even buy/eat chang tied with rafia..

The French however…

oh this you cant compare...

At any case, angmoh punya real quality is there. Their plastic, if its boilable, then you can be sure its thick AF and durable enough from melting along with your water and food. Asian and cheapskate alike however... I prefer not to do so with their packaging.
