How long can lamb skewers be stored in the refrigerator

Lamb skewers can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days, and frozen for 1-3 months. The actual storage time is affected by factors such as storage temperature, packaging method, and meat freshness.

When refrigerating lamb skewers, it is necessary to use plastic wrap or sealed boxes to isolate the air and avoid mixing with other foods. The refrigeration temperature should be kept below 4 ℃. If there is any mucus or odor on the surface, it should be discarded immediately. Raw lamb skewers that have not been marinated are more prone to spoilage than those that have been marinated, as the salt and spices in the seasonings can inhibit the growth of some bacteria. If you plan to consume it in the short term, refrigeration can preserve the freshness and tenderness of the meat to the greatest extent possible. Frozen lamb skewers should be sealed with aluminum foil or vacuum bags to prevent moisture loss and frostbite. Repeated thawing will accelerate meat spoilage, it is recommended to divide into small portions and freeze. The lamb skewers processed by commercial quick freezing technology have a longer shelf life, and the temperature fluctuation in the freezer compartment of the household refrigerator is greater. It is recommended to consume them within 3 months. After thawing, if the meat becomes loose or ice crystals precipitate, it indicates that it has partially spoiled and is not suitable for further consumption. Whether refrigerated or frozen, lamb skewers should be thoroughly heated to a center temperature above 75 ℃ before consumption to kill potential bacteria. It is recommended to choose a storage method based on the consumption plan to avoid long-term storage. Eating with fresh vegetables and fruits can help with digestion and reduce the absorption of harmful substances produced during high-temperature baking. If there is discoloration or abnormal odor during storage, it should be immediately stopped from consumption.
