The flesh of the salmon should be firm and pink and the scent should be very mild - it should smell like an ocean breeze. The two ways to determine if salmon is fresh are by appearance and smell. Follow the same actions as when cooking with a microwave to ensure all the food is heated to above 75 ☌.Add to Meal Planner Yummly Original How do I know salmon is fresh? Take care when reheating food in a microwave oven. Food should steam throughout, not just on the edges. Reheat food until it is steaming hot - above 75 ☌ or, preferably, boiling.
Ensure that all food is covered or sealed. Keep raw meats and poultry at the bottom of the fridge to avoid raw juices dripping onto other food.
If you want to keep cooked food longer, freeze the food immediately after cooling in the fridge.Īlways store cooked food separately from raw food, especially raw meats, poultry and fish. Under ideal conditions, cooked food can be stored in the fridge for a few days. If you need to keep food warm, keep it hotter than 60 ☌ and out of the temperature danger zone. Large portions of food cool faster when you put them into shallow trays or divide them into smaller portions. This helps keep the food out of the temperature danger zone as fast as possible. If you need to store food for later use, wait until the steam stops rising, cover the food and put it in the fridge. Food continues to cook even after the microwave is turned off.
