“If the number of prepared pancakes greatly exceeds the possibility of eating them in the near future, do not despair.
Under the right storage conditions, the product can be consumed from 30 days to 2-4 months without harm to health,” said the Budu service expert.
It’s worth waiting for the dish to cool down, and then stacking it in the refrigerator, greasing each pancake with butter and wrapping it with cling film or a bag, not forgetting about the edges, which can dry out, the specialist advised.
“Then, to serve the pancakes to the table, each of them will need to be greased with heated oil, and then the entire stack will need to be heated at once.
On average, pancakes preserved this way last 2-3 days.
After this time, they may begin to dry out or even deteriorate.
Do not forget about the risk of poisoning from the filling - especially cottage cheese, fish, mushrooms or meat.
To avoid this, it is better not to store pancakes without refrigeration, even for 24 hours,” the doctor said.
However, if for some reason this is not possible, you can store the pancakes, albeit for a short time, at room temperature, he added.
“In this case, they also need to be stacked, wrapped in film.
If possible, it is better to leave the product in a place with a cooler temperature - for example on a balcony or in a cellar.
But it is very important to keep in mind that then the shelf life of the product is reduced to 24 hours.
Pancakes with meat and cottage cheese should absolutely not be stored without a refrigerator,” Ryabkov warned.
According to him, ready-made pancakes can be stored in the right conditions from several days to several months.
“To preserve products for several days, you need to place them not just in the refrigerator, but in the freezer at a temperature of -18 ° C, placing them in sealed bags.
This way, the products can be consumed within 30 days, regardless of the type of filling.
And pancakes with sweet fillings, mushrooms or potatoes can be stored in this way for a longer period: they will be suitable for consumption for another 2-4 months.
The product will need to be defrosted using a refrigerator,” the doctor advised.
In general, pancakes with any fillings are best stored in a glass container, tightly covered with a lid.
This will help protect the products from foreign odors.
“But we must not forget about an important rule - pancakes containing meat must be eaten within 24 hours, even if they were in the refrigerator.
The same applies to pancakes with cottage cheese, since both of these products are perishable,” concluded RT’s interlocutor.
Earlier, specialists from the Taxcom fiscal data platform calculated the pancake index.
