Hi! Thanks so much for your comment and questions! 🤗I like to keep my refrigerator cooler and have it set between 34-36* F, and I don't recommend storing meal prep for more than 4 days at that temp. After day 4, freezing is a great option for prepared food. It gives it a longer life and mitigates the risk of spoiling/bacteria.

Safe food storage to mitigate bacterial growth is multifaceted ~ the length of time the food sits out to cool after cooking, the storage temperature of the food and the water content of the food itself.

The USDA had a giant chart on their website and the general recommendation is below 40° F for refrigerated foods.

Hi! Thank you so much for your comment and welcome to my channel! I'm so excited you are interested in meal prepping during college! If you use your freezer, you can count on your meals staying fresh and you can definitely use the microwave to reheat (just takes a little longer)! Please let me know if you have any other questions! 🥰

Hi Victoria! Thanks for the comment. I believe what you are describing is related to the improper storage of cooked rice- bacillus cereus or "fried rice syndrome". The possibility of this bacteria is not only present in cooked rice, but also uncooked rice and it's severity depends on the storage conditions once cooked (and this applies to many starches, not just rice)! I have a Master's Degree in Public Health Nutrition so I understand your concern, and I also don't believe in fear mongering. From author Leong et. al., "The outcome of B. cereus illness varies dramatically depending on the pathogenic strain encounter and the host's immune system. B. cereus causes a self-limiting, diarrheal illness caused by heat-resistant enterotoxin proteins, and an emetic illness caused by the deadly toxin named cereulide. " Safe food storage to mitigate bacterial growth is multifaceted ~ the length of time the food sits out to cool after cooking, the storage temperature of the food and the water content of the food itself. Freezing prepared food gives it a longer life and mitigates the risk of spoiling/bacteria. The USDA had a giant chart on their website and the general recommendation is below 40° F for refrigerated foods. I like to keep my refrigerator colder, and I have it set to 34-36° F, and I don't recommend refrigerating meal prep for more than 3-4 days at that temp, after that I recommend freezing!

Depending on your refrigeration setup, these last all week (7days). I keep my refrigerator at 36* F so they are a bit colder. You could also put half of them into the freezer and heat them up as you go through the week 👍

Hi! Thank you for your comment. In my experience, once people start cooking this way, they can make it feel less repetitive. Maybe they cook 6 different types of meals for the week and freeze some extras?! For me, I don’t mind the same day to day because I’m changing it up drastically week to week, (so I wouldn’t make anything with similar flavors for a few weeks after this). That helps a lot for me! 🥰
