Storage Time

Cooked hotcakes and sausage are best consumed within 3-4 days when refrigerated. Uncooked sausage can last 1-2 days in the fridge, while uncooked hotcake batter typically lasts 1-2 days. Frozen cooked portions can be stored for up to 2-3 months.

Temperature

Store cooked hotcakes and sausage in the refrigerator at or below 4°C (40°F). Uncooked sausage should also be kept refrigerated.

Freezing

Cooked hotcakes and sausage can be frozen for longer storage. Allow them to cool completely, then wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil or place them in airtight freezer bags. To thaw, refrigerate overnight or gently reheat from frozen in a microwave or oven. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the hotcakes, making them a bit softer.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or off smell emanating from the food.
• Visible mold growth on the hotcakes or sausage.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the surface of the cooked items.
