STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE

The fridge helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods.

Fresh food care for best results:

Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.

Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from

dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent

odour transfer.

Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as

butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.

Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge.
