STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
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. Vegetables and fruit need not be wrapped if they
are stored in the vegetable container of the fridge.
• 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.
Dairy foods and eggs
• Most pre-packed dairy foods have a recommended 'use by /best
before/best by/ date stamped on them. Store them in the fridge and
use within the recommended time.
• Butter can become tainted by strong smelling foods so it is best
stored in a sealed container.
• Eggs should be stored in the fridge.
Red meat
• Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed
paper, plastic wrap or foil.
• Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent
any juice lost from the raw meat from contaminating the cooked
product.
Poultry
• Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and out with cold running
water, dried and placed on a plate. Cover loosely with plastic wrap
or foil.
• Poultry pieces should also be stored this way. Whole poultry
should never be stuffed until just before cooking, otherwise food
poisoning may result.
