  • Page 42: Storing Food In Your Refrigerator

    Storing food in your refrigerator Your refrigerator helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods. The cold temperature slows down the major causes of food spoilage – namely, the growth of bacteria, moulds and yeasts, and any chemical and physical reactions. Fresh food care The quality of food before it is placed in the refrigerator is critical to successful storage.
  • Page 43 Storing food in your refrigerator 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 ■ ■ juices lost from the raw meat contaminating the cooked product.
  • Page 44: Storing Food In Your Freezer

    Storing food in your freezer The use of temperatures of -18°C (0°F) or colder to store food means that the food can be kept for longer periods than when refrigeration temperatures are used. This is because the growth of bacteria, moulds and yeasts are stopped, and chemical and physical reactions are severely restricted at such low temperatures.
  • Page 45 Storing food in your freezer Meat, poultry and game Do not try to freeze more than 1 kg (2.2 lb) meat per 25 L (0.9 cu.ft) of ■ ■ freezer storage volume at any one time. Meat must be frozen quickly in order to maintain its texture.
