MICROWAVE COOKING with Carolyn Dodson

BUYING, STORING AND KEEPING FOODS SAFE

Did you know you should use cracked eggs only if thoroughly cooked to kill bacteria? Or, did you know roasts may be stored in the refrigerator for 5-6 days, but ground meats and stew meat only for 2 days? Or did you know hamburger should be frozen for only 4 months, but roasts freeze successfully for a year?

Information such as this, as well as how to pick and store perfect melons or mushrooms and all the other fruits and vegetables, are only a few of the facts covered in my books.
