Food Storage Guide

Food Storage Tips
Storing Vegetables and Fruit
• The moisture left on vegetables after washing
can make them spoil faster. Wait to wash
vegetables until just before use.
• Leafy greens like kale or lettuce have a limited
storage life. Wrap them in newspaper or in
sealed containers to help them stay fresh
longer.
• Do not store tropical fruits in the fridge.
• Bananas or uncut pineapples are damaged by
cold temperatures.
Kimchi Storage Tips
Do not overfill the kimchi containers.
• Allow space for the kimchi to expand as it
ferments or the contents may overflow the
container. Close the container lids completely
to prevent the kimchi from fermenting too
quickly or developing yeast mold. Fill the
container with kimchi up to the fill line and
make sure the lid is tightly closed before
storing. Cover the surface of the kimchi with
plastic wrap to extend the storage time.
Do not place kimchi directly into the fridge
compartment or store it in a plastic bag.
• Use the kimchi container provided to store
kimchi. Kimchi placed directly into the fridge
compartment may freeze and taste off. Do not
block the air outlet inside the fridge with food.
Doing so could cause the food to freeze, affect
product performance, or result in electric shock
or injury.
For best results, check on kimchi within 3 to
4 days of storing it.
• If the kimchi has overflowed from the container,
it may ferment too quickly and not store well.
Do not place foods that require different
storage conditions in the same compartment.
• If the left or right compartment is set to freezer
mode, kimchi, vegetables or fruit may freeze if
stored there. Select the appropriate settings for
the food being stored.
26
Be sure to use enough salt when preparing
kimchi for longer storage.
• The rate of fermentation is mostly determined
by the amount of salt in the kimchi. Small
batches of mild kimchi can be successfully
stored for short periods, but add more salt if
storing large amounts for use over an extended
period.
Use care when placing kimchi containers in
the fridge.
• Lift the container by the handles and avoid
impacts to the bottom of the container.
(The appearance of kimchi containers may
vary by model.)
