I asked for one a while back but never received one,. Since a few people asked me to send one when I got one, here it is. I found it in the back of an old cookbook I never use anymore. I guess I packed it there when I moved once, and never got around to digging it out. _MAXIMUM STORAGE TIME_ FOOD REFRIGERATOR FREEZER Bacon 5 - 7 days 1 month Beef 2 - 4 days 6 - 12 months Butter 7 days 2 - 3 months Casseroles 2 - 3 days 2 - 4 months Cheese Cottage Cheese 3 - 4 days don't freeze Hard 1 - 2 weeks 2 - 3 months Soft 1 - 2 weeks don't freeze Cooked meals 4 - 5 days 2 - 3 months Egg Whites 10 days 3 - 6 months Egg yolks 2 - 3 days don't freeze Fish 1 - 2 days 3 months Frankfurters 4 - 5 days 1 month Ground meats 1 - 2 days 3 months Ham 1 week 2 months Luncheon meats 1 week don't freeze Milk 5 - 7 days don't freeze Pork 2 - 4 days 3 - 6 months Poultry 1 - 2 days 3 - 6 months Sausage Bulk 1 week 2 months Dry 2 - 3 weeks don't freeze Smoked 3 - 7 days don't freeze Sour Cream 3 - 4 days don't freeze Stews and Soups 2 - 3 days 2 - 4 months Variety meats 1 - 2 days 3 months Yogurt 2 weeks don't freeze I know, I've even kept things longer than this, but it's something to go by.
