Rotating

Many people suggest rotating your food storage, which means that you need to periodically replace items that were in storage for too long with newer food. This prevents the food from going bad or deteriorating in quality and nutrition.

The best way to do this is to do plenty of cooking using your storage food, while still making sure to replace the food you used. Incorporating your storage supply into your daily meal routine has the additional bonus of allowing you to practice cooking and eating stored food before you are in an emergency situation.

Difficulties

Cooking with stored food is often a difficult task. You will have limited amounts of food and you will want to save and re-use as much as possible. You will most likely not have the kitchen implements and utensils you’re used to using.

Also, most of the food you’ve stored is designed for maximum shelf life, and may not always be what you are used to eating. Making the food taste good is often the hardest part. Fortunately, food storage recipes help you use cooking techniques and spices to make your meals taste great.
