safely for months? Do canned goods really
expire or is it a way for manufacturers to
sell more? What foods need refrigeration?
Many food manufacturers state on their
containers, " Refrigerate after opening "
and add " best before " dates. They may be
worried about liability.
Having lived in Europe and sailed offshore
when refrigeration is challenging, I
learned to cool only the foods most likely
to spoil: meat, fish and salad/veggies. But
onions, apples, fruits, tomatoes, zucchini
and eggs can easily last a weekend, even
weeks, without refrigeration (after " candling "
eggs to eliminate those with tiny
cracks, they lasted six weeks offshore-
even in tropical temperatures).
Since ancient times it's been known that
vinegar preserves foods. So I don't refrigerate
ketchup, hot sauces, relish, pickles
or mustard and stow them aboard-without
refrigeration. Still, if you fear spoilage,
you can stock a batch of individual
ketchup, mustard and relish packets available
at superstores. Peanut butter and jelly
can remain unrefrigerated if you don't
contaminate the jelly with a dirty knife.
I stock up on favourite canned goods-
soups, beans, sardines and diced tomatoes.
If the can is intact, no dangerous
pathogens can enter (canned soup I
bought in Finland remained perfectly edible
five years after its best-before-date.) A
bulgy can top, however, requires instant
disposal. During the week before cruises,
I double up on stews, pasta dishes or casseroles
rescuing me from onboard galley
time and dishwashing.
A vacuum packer is a useful friend.
Small pouches of vacuum-packed parmesan,
for example, will stay fresh for
months-the anoxic environment preserves
the cheese. You can adapt that
method for many foods-even whole
meals-that might otherwise spoil. I
often place vacuum-packed items in the
bilge lockers-BC's waters range from
7℃-11℃ providing natural cooling.
I store flour, rice, pasta, coffee, tea,
granola, oatmeal, honey, sugar, pancake
mix, nuts and spices onboard for the season.
One trick I used for our South Pacific
voyage was to buy square, stackable, airtight
Tupperware containers (square to
maximize space in square cabinets/lockers).
They were costly but have lasted for
decades. Their contents stay fresh. (I've
also bought Tupperware at thrift stores.)
