How long will dehydrated Spag Bol last

[bailz66]

Hey Guys,

So spent a few hours on the weekend making up a pasta for a trip we have coming up on Hinchinbrook.

I have checked it this morning before work and it looks like its going to come up perfect. The pasta is brittle and all of the meat is almost dry.

The one thing I have a question about is how long the sause with meat will last once I vacume seal it and still be safe for consumption?

Can't say how long but I vacuum pack mine then freeze it until it's time to take it for a walk.

Welll... depends on how good it tastes (oh ). Yeah, vac seal, freeze - 3mths. 6wks unfrozen, kept cool. Wev'e always gone by this, haven't had any dramas with beef mince.

Perfect

Our Trip is in 3 weeks. I will Vacume seal when I get home. Freeze it and take it out before we take off for Cairnes. Will be eaten 2-3 nights in so don't think there will be any problem.

Cheers

You're far more conservative for me! I just headed out around Hotham/Feathertop for three days and used some beef-based meals that I dehydrated 12 months ago and had kept in the fridge since. Didn't seem to be any deterioration and I didn't get sick.

Depends on how dry it is.

The dryness you are talking about - maybe a month out of the freezer, 6 months + in the freezer.

If you dry them to a crisp and leave them out then longer (6 months). If you dry them to a crisp and freeze then a lot longer (years)
