How long ill prepared food last if it is stored in an airtight container and frozen? How do you know how long foods without an expiration date will remain edible?

A cooked meal placed in an airtight container or freezer bag will last in your freezer for about two to three months. However, freezing your food does NOT stop the deterioration process, it just slows it way down! That said, it is good to keep in mind that the less time your food is the freezer, the better it will taste when you take it out!

Remember to defrost properly! Always defrost your food in the fridge a couple hours before you plan on cooking or in the microwaveif you are going to be using it right away. Never defrost on the countertop since the bacteria that cause food borne illness multiply rapidly at room temperature.
