Everything dealing with long term solutions to long and short term problems

Since we are going through tough times, it is important to value long term storage food to make sure that nothing goes to waste. 

• There are many way to long term storage food besides from putting your last night's meal in a tupperware. One of the most convenient way in making your meal last long is by putting it in a container (or wrapping it in foil, to help save space) and then storing it in the freezer. Some people do this to help the food last longer. The most could last for 5 days. Just make sure that when you cook it, you check it if the food is still edible.

• Another idea for long term storage food is using your leftovers as meal the next day. When you say leftovers, we are not talking about the ones left on your plate--we are talking about the food that is not yet touched by you or by anyone, and instead of throwing these food to the bin, why not make a good, hearty breakfast or lunch from it? Some would use leftover fish, store it in the fridge, debone it the next day and combine it with eggs--viola! You get an omelette! If you are no cooking wizard, this is the perfect moment to brush up that cooking skills. Time to unleash that inner chef!

• Another creative idea when it comes to long term storage food is learning the process of pickling. Pickling helps you preserve vegetables. Of course, pickling is an art and could take some weeks for you to truly grasp its science. But for the meantime, you can use pickling to help preserve those cucumbers, carrots and other vegetables that are often neglected in your vegetable crisper. To make the pickled vegetable even more tasty, you can add sugar and even some onions and spices for more flavor.

• If you want to learn long term storage food on cold foods, then you can start by using salt. Salt is main ingredient when it comes to preserving meat. You also need to consider the presence of vinegar. Salt and vinegar helps the meat free from bacteria and from decomposing. Ever wonder why some countries use too much chili on their preserved meat? Chili, like vinegar is also capable of killing the bacteria that could be present in the meat. Another long term storage food technique is by smoking the meat. Remember to thinly slice the meat and put it in an enclosed area with fire. The enclosed area prevents fire from blazing, letting smoke 'cook' the meat instead.
