Storage & Reheating Guide
Your safety is our priority. Please follow these guidelines to keep your meals fresh and delicious.
1. FRIDGE STORAGE
If you plan to eat your meals throughout the week, keep them in the fridge at 8°C or below.
- Rice & Special Fried Rice: Consume within 2 days.
- Chicken Dishes: Consume within 2 days.
- Stews, Beans & Vegetables: Can be safely stored for up to 5 days.
2. FREEZER STORAGE
For longer-term storage, place meals in the freezer as soon as they are delivered.
- Rice: Best consumed within 1 month.
- Red Meat Stews (Beef/Goat/Boerewors): Best within 2–3 months.
- Cooked Chicken: Best within 4–6 months.
- Pro Tip: Use airtight containers to prevent "freezer burn" and maintain that rich House of Five flavor.
3. THAWING & REHEATING
Proper reheating ensures your food is safe and the meat remains succulent.
- Defrosting: Always thaw meals in the fridge overnight. Never defrost rice or meat on the kitchen counter.
- Reheating Meat & Stews: Heat until steaming hot throughout. The core temperature should reach at least 75°C.
- Reheating Rice: Ensure rice is piping hot. Rice should only be reheated once.
- General Rule: If you have left food out at room temperature for more than 2 hours, do not eat it or freeze it—dispose of it safely.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
As a registered food business, we follow strict HACCP safety systems. Every meal is cooked to a safe core temperature of 75°C and chilled rapidly to below 8°C before it reaches your door to ensure the highest hygiene standards.
