SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

STORING FOOD
Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important
G
factor
in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and
G
melons.
Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food and
G
lead to higher electric bills!
When storing, cover food with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from
G
evaporating and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures
G
even.
Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causing
G
temperatures to rise.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.
G
Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This deteriorates taste and nutrition.
G
When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf,
G
not in the door rack.
Avoid storing any food close to the bottom area of the freezer shelf to keep efficient air circulation.
G
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Avoid placing moist food deep inside refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact
G
with chilled air.
Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped,
G
and packed food should be wiped clean to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.
When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh. Always store them in a upright
G
position, which keeps them fresh longer.
