Lto meat can stay there for 10 months, the fish and the herbs 6, the bread and fresh pasta, 3. These are the suggested times i can be kept i foods in the freezer. Yeah, yeah, sure. But how do you know how long that package of turkey slices has been at the bottom of the freezer drawer?
When in doubt, more atrocious week after week, many Italian families choose to allocate what (perhaps!) has been in the freezer for too long to the trash. Fueling the burdensome phenomenon of food waste, which in our country reaches 27Kg per capita every year. Mainly fruit, vegetables and bread, for a total value of 6.5 billion euros per year in household consumption alone. Freezing foods is a great method to prevent these numbers from growing (or to reduce them) but only if it is done in a workmanlike manner.
Foods in the freezer, how to know if they are expired?
A useful tool for this purpose is the new one Cuki Save the Food Appwhich helps remember when it’s time to defrost foods to consume them without risk. Five days before the recommended thawing date, it sends a notification to the registered devices (even more than one) about the food to be brought to the table as soon as possible.
Over 350 foods, both fresh and cooked, available in the database: before each freezing, simply select which foods you are placing in the freezer. The App will indicate the freeze date and the days remaining until its thawing. If a particular food item is not present in the database, manual entry will be possible at any time.
Against food waste, the whole family on the front line
It is possible to manage even more than one freezer at a time. For example, that of a second home, or second home. And it is possible to share one’s freezer with other family members, so that they are all “protagonists on the front line” against food waste.
The app, available on the Apple Store and Google Play, also provides practical advice on how to properly package food according to their nature and consistency e how to freeze and thaw them in the most appropriate way.
