STORE STARCH AND

CEREAL DISHES
LEARNING OUTCOME 4
INTRODUCTION
■Proper storage of food is very crucial in keeping
food safe because the manner and temperature of
storage will affect the food‘s susceptibility to
bacterial growth, other contaminants, and
infestation. Storing food will not improve its quality,
it will only delay the rate of deterioration, and thus,
the proper period of storage should also be
observed.
FIFO
■FIFO (First In, First Out)
the first food stored should be the first food to be
out from the storage it is high time to make it a
habit or put into practice. Write the expiry date,
date received and date of storage to the food
package and regularly check the expiration date.

HOW TO STORE PASTA NOODLES
1. DRY PASTA
Remove the pasta from the store packaging if the
noodles come in a box or other non-airtight container.
Place the noodles in a sealable plastic bag or other
container that closes tightly. For long noodles, such as
spaghetti, use a tall plastic storage container.
Seal the bag or screw the lid on tightly. Store the pasta
in a cool, dry place. Dry pasta stores indefinitely, but
should be used within two years to prevent loss of flavor.
Store dried egg noodles for up to six months.
2. COOKED PASTA
Pour the noodles into a colander. Allow as much
moisture as possible to drain. Noodles left in standing
water become overly soft and mushy.
Sprinkle 1 tsp. salad oil over the noodles. Toss the
pasta so the noodles are evenly coated in the oil.
Salad oil prevents the pasta from sticking together.
Place the pasta in a tight-sealed container. Store in
the refrigerator for three to five days.
3. FRESH PASTA
Fresh pasta should ideally be used on the same day
as manufactured. This is not always possible, but if it
is used within the next two days it will give adequate
results. After this it tends to crack through excess
drying. It must be stored, keep it well-covered in the
fridge, to minimize the risk of this happening. Frozen
filled pastas will keep for up to three months if held at
-18oC or lower.
4. FROZEN PASTA
does not have to be thawed before
it is cooked. Just place the frozen
pasta into boiling water and reheat
it. It will need to cook a little longer
than unfrozen pasta.
