Food Storage Tips
Fresh Food Storage
The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should
be kept between 1°-4° C with an optimum
temperature of 3° C. To check the temperature, place
an appliance thermometer in a glass of water and
place in the center of the refrigerator. Check after 24
hours. If the temperature is above 4° C adjust the
controls as explained on pages 7-9.
Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This
reduces the circulation of air around the food and
results in uneven cooling.
Fruits and Vegetables
Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help
preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer
time periods (see page 12).
Sort fruit
s and vegetables
before storage and use
bruised or soft items first. Discard those showing
signs of decay.
Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and
cabbage so the odor does not transfer to other foods.
While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity
to remain fresh, too much humidity can shorten
storage times (especially leafy veget
able
s). Drain
vegetables well
before storing.
Wait to wash fresh produce until right before use.
Meat and Cheese
Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely
so leakage and contamination of other foods or
surfaces does not occur.
Occasionally mold will develop on the surface of
hard chee
se
s (S
wiss, Cheddar, Parmesan). Cut off at
least an inch around and below the moldy area. Keep
your knife or instrument out of the mold itself.
Do
not try to save individual cheese slices, soft cheese,
cottage cheese, cream, sour cream or yogurt when
mold appears.
Dairy Food
Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream
and cott
age chee
se have fre
shness dates on their
cartons for appropriate length of storage. Store these
foods in the original carton and refrigerate
immediately after purchasing and after each use.
Frozen Food Storage
The freezer compartment of a refrigerator should be
kept at approximately -18° C. To check the
temperature, place an appliance thermometer
between the frozen packages and check after 24
hours. If the temperature is above -18° C, adjust the
control as described on pages 7-9.
A freezer operates more efficiently when it is at least
two-thirds full.
Packaging Foods for Freezing
To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration use
aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight
containers. Force as much air out of the packages as
possible and be sure they are tightly sealed. Trapped
air can cause the food to dry out, change color and
develop an off-flavor (freezer burn).
Overwrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable
freezer wrap prior to freezing.
Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
Loading the Freezer
Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at
one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of
freezing and can raise the temperature of frozen
foods.
Leave space between the packages so cold air can
circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as
possible.
Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream
and orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These
foods are best stored in the freezer interior where the
temperature varies less with door openings.
