Good morning!

I have made some zucchini deep-fried in batter, and have to keep them for a
few days. Will they freeze? If not, how do I store them?

Thanks.

David.

I wouldn't, David. :-( The zucchini are pretty wet to start with and
I think after freezing they'll be mushy. You might be able to re-crisp
the battered coating by reheating on a baking sheet in the oven but the
inside won't do well.

Reheating in an oven won't be an option. How about reheating by sauteing?

Thanks.
David.

Oops! I should have asked also:

How about the part I need for tomorrow evening? Will it be better off
refrigerated until then, or at room temperature?

Thanks.
David.

Uh... no. They'll be greasy. Crisping in a 400:F oven would be the
preferred method.

At this point, you might want to remove the coating and do something
else with the zucchini where mushy won't matter; like as a layer in a
multi-veg terrine or a "zucchini ganoush."

You can't keep something at room temp. for over 2 hours without risking food
poisoning.

The 2 hour rule usually applies to protein containing foods ( not firm
cheeses, however)

Grocery stores ought to keep bins by the door, so you can buy the food
and throw it out immediately.

True. Or fruits and veg that have not been cut into or prepared in any way.

I meant prepared food. Not safe to leave it at room temp. for over 2 hours.

On Monday I cut a tomato in half at lunch time. Used part of it, and
put the remainder cut side down on a plate and left it on a counter.
On Wednesday noon it was still just fine. This was not the first time
I have done this.

There were no people in the world prior to the invention of a
refrigerator. They evolved, and then immediately died.
