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.
