Fridge freshness tips for your chow

Posted by Robert Morton on Oct. 23, 2012

We've covered tips for warming up your meals for max yum. Let's focus too on a few hints for ensuring max freshness on their way to the warm up.

  • Anything I need to keep in mind for getting my meals from pickup location to home? As long as your gym commute is under an hour you should be fine. Keep your meals with you in air-conditioned comfort, not the trunk, out of the sun. And if for some reason you’ll be out and about for more than an hour, bring a cooler bag with you for pickup.
  • How long are they good in my fridge and where should I store them in there? We recommend eating by the 4th day from delivery. And as for location, we follow the general guidance of keeping ready-to-eat foods like our meals, dairy products if you have them, etc… above raw foods (uncooked eggs, meat, chicken, fish) so you don’t get inadvertent drippage.
  • If I want to eat them later, can I freeze them? Yes indeed, sometimes the week gets away from you with meals to spare. Long as you’re within the 4-days-from-delivery window, wrap them up tightly to get air space out of there and freeze away. Then defrost in fridge within 2 months and chow immediately.
  • That covers PS meals, what’s a good resource for looking up how long all the other stuff in my fridge stays fresh? Here’s a site with a long list of food items and associated freshness guidelines. Generally the fresher the food when you bought it, the longer it keeps.
