Bánh flan, a delightful dessert and snack beloved by the youth in Vietnam, has its origins in foreign lands. However, its popularity has led to it becoming a well-known treat among the younger generation. Due to its short shelf life, let’s explore the best preservation methods below.
1. How Long Can Bánh Flan Be Stored?
How long can Bánh Flan be stored?
Like all food items, bánh flan has a limited shelf life. In high-temperature conditions, bacteria can thrive and cause the cake to spoil quickly. If not properly stored, the cake may turn sour, and consumption could lead to dangerous food poisoning.
Depending on the storage method, the cake can last between 5-7 days, or sometimes only 1-2 days before spoiling.
After steaming the bánh flan, allow it to cool and then store it in the chiller compartment of your refrigerator at a temperature between 2-6 degrees Celsius. This is crucial to maintain the cake’s flavor and ensure food safety.
2. How to Store Bánh Flan
With proper storage conditions and consistent temperature maintenance, bánh flan can be safely consumed for 7-10 days when stored in the chiller compartment. Here are some additional tips:
– Avoid placing bánh flan near strong-smelling, raw foods like meat and fish, as this can cause the cake to absorb odors and spoil faster.
– Store the cake in an airtight container in the chiller compartment to prevent excessive cooling, which can dry out the cake and affect its texture.
– For summer, maintain a temperature of 2-6 degrees Celsius, and for winter, 5-8 degrees Celsius to ensure the cake remains soft and tasty.
Bánh flan is a favorite among people of all ages. You can also experiment with fresh milk or condensed milk to create a variety of flavors for your family.
Bánh flan is a popular choice for homemade desserts, but it is prone to spoilage. At room temperature, it can only last 2 to 3 days. Therefore, it’s essential to refrigerate the cake immediately after preparation and follow the above storage guidelines.
