View Comments. March 19, It usually is all gone by then anyway. January 23, I eat stuff that's been left out all the time and I haven't died yet! Of course you should use common sense and not eat anything that's been left out for over a day or so, but the way I see it, how did people eat before there were refrigerators? Obviously there were more illnesses and disease back then, but the alot of people lived!
The shelf life of this delectable depends upon the preservatives used, the travel time, the humidity it has been exposed for etc. Sadly the shelf life of cheesecake is short. It becomes vital to pay particular attention to its freshness and its storing.
We recommend that it be tightly wrapped in a plastic container. In fact, the same can be stored in the freezer unless you intended to have the same evening. In case you are looking forward to eating it the following night, remove it a couple of hours early to dig into the desert. A typical Cheesecake that has been opened would last for as good as seven days if stored properly. However, unopened cheesecakes that are freshly made or frozen, or home-made will remain good in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 days from its last printed date.
The same can be frozen too and stay fresh for 6 to 8 months. Many factors are to be considered for storing in the refrigerators. For instance, how long was the cheesecake out, how long did it take to travel from the outlet to your home. Little do we know, but even unsettling speed can also spoil the cheesecake.
Cheesecakes kept at the room temperature for more than two hours invite off smell, brownish colour and unpleasant flavour. To avoid such bacterial growth, it is advisable to remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator when it is to be served. It remains firm, the flavour remains robust and tastes extremely good. In case the cheesecake was frozen, it is a great idea to keep it out at least 4 hours before to be served.
This way the cheesecake will attain its average room temperature, it will not taste frozen at the same time but will remain fresh. It is a must to understand if the cheesecake has gone wrong. To avoid any foodborne illness, practising of proper hygiene and food safety technique is essential. The best way to tell if your favourite cheesecake has gone wrong is to check the colour. If it starts getting brown near the edges, you have to let the cheesecake go. Especially the crust part of it starts getting soggy.
Cheesecake is also a great way to use that frozen cottage cheese or frozen ricotta that already sits in your freezer for months. As you know, cheesecake is made from dairy products, particularly cream cheese.
Eggs are also included in most recipes. Generally, the shelf life of store-bought cheesecake is 5 to 7 days in the fridge unless the packaging label specifies a shorter period. Or shorter, if the recipe you follow says so, or there are some highly perishable ingredients. If you need to store cheesecake for longer, freezing is the way to go. The cake should keep good quality in the freezer for at least a few months. Just because you cannot see the mold spores does not mean that the cake is good to eat.
Unrefrigerated cheesecake will attract bacteria quickly and it is better to be on the safe side and simply discard it. Discard cheesecake that has sat out on the counter for more than 2 hours.
Correct storage will keep cheesecake flavorful and safe to eat. Here are some tips for storing both store-bought and homemade cheesecake:. When it comes to storing cheesecake, your goal should be to minimize contact with moisture and to protect the cake from picking up surrounding flavors from other foods in the fridge.
Slice and serve the slices you need then, use cling film to tightly wrap the remaining cake. Be sure not to leave any space for moisture to get in. Airtight containers are a great alternative to freezer bags for storage purposes. If storing the cheesecake in resealable bags is not an option, try to preserve the cake in an airtight container.
It is a good idea to first wrap the slices in a plastic wrap before placing them inside the container. Whether you baked the cake or bought it, you should stick the cheesecake in the fridge immediately and keep it there until you are ready to use it. The most that cheesecake can stay out at room temperature is two hours. Anything longer and the cake will be unsafe to eat due to it containing potentially dangerous bacteria.
If you find it difficult to wrap the cake without damaging the surface, simply place back the cake in a sheet pan, cover with plastic wrap, and store in the fridge for not more than seven days. You can freeze slices of cheesecake or the entire thing.
