STORAGE OF FOOD
How to Use the Refrigerator Compartment
• The cooked dishes can be put into refrigerator to keep fresh after their
temperature decreases to room temperature.
• Egg pockets and bottle pockets for eggs, butter, milk and bottle drinks,etc..
Placement of food
• Proper place should be left instead of too crowded during food storage.
• Food to be stored should be wrapped with clean plastic film or fresh keeping
paper, then distributed to several frames even to avoid contamination and the
loss of water and smell mixture.
• Cool hot food down to the room temperature before storing or consumption
of electricity will increase and would lead to frost forming inside.
Tips for keeping food perfect in the fridge
• Take extra care with meat and fish
• Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid
bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect
juices and cover it with cling film or foil.
• Leave space around food
• This allows cold air to circulate around the fridge, ensuring all parts of the
fridge are kept cool.
• Wrap up food: To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, food should be
separately packed or covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly: Allow pre-cooked food to
•
cool down before placing in the fridge. This will help to stop the internal
temperature of the fridge from rising.
Shut the door: To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times
•
you open the door. When returning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in
your fridge before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or
take it out.
Where to store your foods in the fridge
Cool area: This is where to store foods which will keep longer if they are kept cool.
Milk, eggs, yogurt, fruit juices, hard cheeses eg. Cheddar. Opened jars and bottles
of salad dressings, sauces and jams. Fats, eg. Butter, margarine, low-fat spreads,
cooking fats and lard.
