5.14 Tips on storing fresh food
5.14.1 Storing into the fridge compartment
▶
Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C.
▶
Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance.
▶
Foods stored in the fridge should be washed and dried before storing
▶
Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste alterations.
▶
Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold
air flowing around them, for a better and more homogeneous cooling.
▶
Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf.
▶
Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air flowing. In special way
don't store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against rear wall. Avoid di-
rect contact of food (especially oily or acidic food) with the inner liner, as oil/acid can
erode the inner liner. Clean away oily/acid dirt whenever it is found.
▶
Defreeze frozen food in the fridge storage compartment. This way, you can use the
frozen food to decrease the temperature in the compartment and save energy.
▶
The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes, melons, papaya, ba-
nana, pineapple, etc. can be accelerated in the fridge. Therefore, it is not advisable to
store them in the fridge. However, the ripening of strongly green fruits can be pro-
moted for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegetables should
also be stored at room temperature.
▶
Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and clean-
ing is required. See CARE AND CLEANING.
▶
Different foods should be placed in different areas according to their properties (Fig.
