How long can it keep frozen cooked meat, needed for traveling

I had cooked chicken wings in it for 10 hours and they stayed nice and hot. I also had a shrimp pasta in one and put ice on the bottom in a ziploc and it stayed cold the entire day and the ice was still frozen. It works like a cooler so I would think you would be safe for a good length of time if the meat were cooked and frozen. I love the carriers and bought 2 more.

Never tried frozen meat. Not sure. If anything could do it, this could. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

It depends on the food. It's actually not too bad. Most reviews will say 45-50 minutes. To be on the safe side, we'll say 45-50 minutes; but, for the non-frozen stuff (reheated hamburger, etc.), I was able to eat it just find within 20-30 minutes. This really is a must have if you travel a lot, esp. with kids and old folks who love heated foods. I hope that helps.

You need to add about an hour to cooking time. A word of caution: if you purchase vacuum sealed foods, repackage them using your vacuum sealer so,you can be confident that the food will remain sealed in the sous vide. I purchase meats in quantity, season, then vacuum seal, and freeze. If I purchase products such as corned bed, I repackage it before freezing.

Yes, it can be "frozen" which is more like chilled. The usage statement says to place it in the freezer for 2 hours.

i didn't freeze it but it lasted in the fridge for about 1 week; i think you can freeze anything :) and it will indeed keep longer; but what will become of it and how it will taste i have no idea; since it's a root, it might still be good cooked.

It doesn't matter if it has been frozen or not. I have bought it frozen and room temp. I ALAWAY keep it in the freezer. I take out what I need and toast it. I buy it in bulk. It keeps well in the freezer for 4-6 weeks. :)

Yes, it is recommended that you keep it refrigerated. Maybe you can travel with it on ice.

When I received it it was not frozen. You can keep it in the freezer and before you eat you can use toaster to defrost or leave it on the kitchen counter for about an hour or two. It stays fresh for about 5-6 days in the closed bag.

According to the material I read, yes it does need refrigeration. However it also said it can go without refrigeration for up to 2 weeks if you are traveling. So I keep it in the refrigerator. When I travel I take out what I need for the trip & leave the rest at home.

If you are going to be gone for a length if time and you are in a lot if hear I would keep in the freezer. If you only out for a few hours and regular tempatures then the fridge would be fine.

It depends on how long you keep it, but it should be fine for a few weeks at room temperature until opened. When I opened mine, I cut it into 3 parts - kept the part I'm using in the fridge and froze the other 2 parts. If your fridge is big enough, you can just keep the whole thing in it.

You should not put frozen meat into ANY slow cooker. It doesn't get up to temperature fast enough and will have your raw meat in the danger zone for too long and can cause food-borne illnesses.

Yes! I have traveled with frozen meats and other items from NY to the Caribbean and everything was frozen as a rock. I did have trouble with the cooler handles, which would not lock into place. I constantly had to stop and pull the handles up. I have two of these coolers and they both have the same problem. I notified the vendor because I believe it's a design defect. The handles are are similar to a luggage carrier handles and there are two metal sprockets (I'm not sure if that's the correct term) that pop out once you extend the handles fully. Unfortunately, once you start rolling the cooler, these sprockets on either side recede back in and the handle comes down. The vendor sent me a another cooler and I had the same issue. Other than that, it's quite roomy even with ice packs, etc. and will keep your food frozen for hours. I would check the cooler in at the airport and once I got to my final destination several hours later the contents were still frozen.

If you can find a way to keep it cold in transit. It needs to stay refrigerated. Dry ice may work.

If starting from frozen it will take longer to reach pressure but the same amount of time to cook. If preparing a meat and it has been browned in the pc pot, pressure will be reached in a few minutes. If making a frozen roast without browning it can take up to 15 minutes. Soups and vegetables takes minutes. It depends more on the temperature of what you're beginning with than it does the amount of food.
