As Eid al-Adha approaches, our chefs, food engineers, and nutritionists have provided some advice for the holiday. The answers to all curious questions such as how the Eid al-Adha menu should be, and how the sacrificial meat should be stored and cooked are in this article...
Thawing Meat at Room Temperature Can Be Harmful to Health
Storing and cooking the meat correctly after slaughtering during Eid al-Adha is of great importance for human health. Meat also carries the risk of being infected with bacteria after slaughter. Therefore, it needs to be rapidly cooled below 7 degrees. It is beneficial to protect the meat by separating it into small single-meal pieces and wrapping it in freezer bags or paper. Using the lower compartments of the refrigerator instead of room temperature for the thawing process of the meat is a more correct method.
Meat Should Be Stored by Separating into Small Pieces
Sacrificial meat should not be stored in large pieces but in single-meal portions. It should be kept in the freezer section or deep freezer. It is possible to store meat for a long time in a deep freezer at -18 degrees.
How Should the Ideal Holiday Menu Be?
Spending the breakfast meal well prepares the person for the day and provides a large part of the energy likely to be needed during the day. Breakfast on holiday mornings should be balanced, and the meal should not be skipped. Heavy and oily foods such as pastries and fries should be avoided at breakfast, and cheese, olives, jam, tomatoes, boiled eggs, and whole wheat bread should be included.
It would be a logical choice to eat protein-heavy at lunch and prepare a vegetable-heavy menu that is easy to digest and low in calories in the evening hours.
Digesting Fresh Meat Is Harder
People with problems such as obesity, high blood pressure, stomach, or cardiovascular diseases should pay more attention to their nutrition. Meat is not an easy food to digest. Especially fresh meat is even harder to digest. Therefore, people suffering from stomach ailments should consume sacrificial meat after keeping it in the refrigerator for a few days. Likewise, consumption of fatty meats with high saturated fat rates should be avoided. Especially if you have high cholesterol.
As Besler Catering, we wish you a happy holiday in advance and hope that flavor will not be missing from your tables.
