Question 11

Tips for storing Stuffed Zucchini to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always keep your stuffed zucchini in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in cling film. This helps avoid exposure to air which can speed up the spoiling process.

• Consider freezing stuffed zucchini if you don't plan to eat it within 2-3 days. You can freeze individual pieces on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer bag or airtight container. This way, you can grab just the amount you need.

• When you want to enjoy your frozen stuffed zucchini, thaw it in the refrigerator for a day before reheating it slowly on a low heat in the oven. Microwaving can also do the job, but zucchini might become a bit mushy. For the best texture, oven reheating is recommended.

• Make sure to avoid cross contamination in the fridge. Keep the stuffed zucchini stored separately from raw meats and fish.
