Storage

  • Get perishable Briam into the fridge within two hours, or within one hour above 32°C / 90°F. Eat Briam within two days, keeping it covered at 4°C / 40°F or colder.
  • Bring cooked Briam to 74°C / 165°F, stirring or turning it for even heating. When Briam is part of the meal, serve cold salads, dips and chilled desserts straight from safe refrigeration.
  • If Briam includes a thick sauce or soup, loosen it with a little water during gentle reheating. Any crisp coating on Briam becomes softer in storage.

Make ahead

  • Prepare the measured ingredients for Briam one day ahead. For Briam, refrigerate chopped vegetables apart from the other perishable ingredients. Follow the cooking stages for Briam on the day of serving.
