Always Be Prepared With Smart Ways To Cook Without Power, Says Frux Home and Yard

Frux Home and Yard is keeping their readers prepared for prolonged power outages caused by extreme weather due to climate change. Power outages are on the rise in the US, and by sharing some helpful and practical tips, Frux Home and Yard hopes to help their readers salvage the food in their fridge that would otherwise go bad as stated by Mike MacDonald, Social Media Manager.

“Power outages are a valid cause for alarm, especially when it begins to drag on for more than a few hours. Not only is it annoying but extended power outages means food thaws, gets spoiled and ends up in the trash. Instead of watching all of your groceries go down the drain, we hope to help out readers salvage most, if not, all of it.”

The article mentions a couple of different no-cook suppers if readers cannot cook on the stove top and don’t have a grill or are unable to light a fire safely. One example mentioned is black beans (drained) mixed with cilantro and onion as it is both healthy and filling. With food at risk of getting spoiled, Frux suggests getting creative in the kitchen to help salvage food while still creating delicious meals. The article states that keeping foil in the kitchen can go a long way in being beneficial for wrapping food to cook over a fireplace or grill.

For grilling, Frux Home and Yard suggests that readers own a good pair of silicone oven gloves to protect their forearms and hands when using a fireplace or grill. Some food can is salvageable while others need to start getting disposed or eaten. The article states that users should move the perishable food items to an ice-filled cooler and consume meats and milk as they are likely to go bad first. Frux Home and Yard states that any leftovers that have been at room temperature for 24 hours or more should be thrown away as they are already contaminated.

If the power is likely to be out for a while, users can extend the life of frozen food for up to 48 hours by packing their freezer with ice. The dry ice provides a temporary solution for a while, but it needs to get replaced as it melts. It is important to not touch the ice with bare hands, Frux Home and Yard recommends using their durable silicone oven gloves to keep hands safe while handling the dry ice. Their Sili-Mitts silicone oven gloves can withstand both high and low temperatures, and the warm lining of the bbq mitt will keep fingers well insulated while stuffing the dry ice in the freezer.
