How do you tell if Beef Curry is bad?

Accepted Answer

Beef curry is a delicious dish, but if it's gone bad, it won't be such a great meal! Here's how to tell - first, give it a sniff. If it has a funky, sour, or unpleasant odor, it's probably spoiled. Next, look at the curry. It should be vibrant and not dull. If you see any mold or discoloration, do not eat it. Also, if the curry appears watery and separated, it might be a sign that it has turned.

Question 11

Tips for storing Beef Curry to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always store beef curry in airtight containers, whether in the fridge or freezer.

• When freezing, consider portioning the curry into individual servings. This will make it easier to thaw and reheat the amount you need, thus reducing waste.

• If you've just cooked your beef curry and it's still hot, cool it down at room temperature before refrigerating or freezing. This prevents the curry from raising the overall temperature of your fridge or freezer.

• It's a good idea to label your curry with the date before storing it. This will help you remember when you should eat it by to ensure it’s still fresh.

• When defrosting the curry, do so in the refrigerator overnight to ensure it thaws evenly.
