Meals you can make without power if Tropical Cyclone Alfred causes outages
ABCIf you've lost power to your home due to Tropical Cyclone Alfred, it's still possible to assemble meals that are satisfying and comforting. If the fridge's temperature exceeds 5 degrees Celsius for less than two hours and the power returns, it should be OK. "The freezer is a little bit different, if it's a good, well-sealed freezer, it can keep frozen food frozen for as long as 24 to 48 hours," Mr Mason says. "Then work back from there, maybe by the next meal it's the frozen things that are now defrosted, and you've got to cook them up." Matt Mason says when it comes to leftovers — they fall into the category of perishable food items, and are potentially hazardous, so "if you're in any doubt, throw it out". "It's going to be harder to access hot water, so you may need things like disposable plates."
