short term storage in the fridge compartment
Storing fresh food
Meat & poultry
•
Wrap raw meat and poultry loosely in polythene bags or aluminium foil. This
prevents drying.
•
Wrap fish and offal in polythene bags and place on the lowest shelf.
Dairy
•
Wrap cheese firstly in greaseproof paper and then in polythene bag
excluding as much air as possible. For best results take out of the fridge
compartment an hour before eating.
•
Wrap bread well to keep it fresh.
Fruit & vegetables
•
Take off any unusable leaves on vegetables and wipe off any soil.
•
Leave lettuce, cabbage, parsley and cauliflower on the stem.
•
Wrap pineapples, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes and similar produce
in polythene bags as these types of produce may suffer damage if
kept at very low temperatures.
•
Wrap food, which has a strong odour, or can dry out, in polythene bags,
aluminium foil, or place in an airtight container.
Fridge compartment storage advice
Fruit & vegetables
•
Don't store bananas.
•
Don't store melon - it can be chilled for short periods as long as it
is wrapped to avoid it flavouring other food.
•
Wrap food affected by temperatures near 0∞C (pineapples, cucumbers,
tomatoes etc.) in polythene bags.
Meat & poultry
•
Store raw meat and poultry below cooked food and dairy products.
•
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked food to avoid
contamination. For safety, only store raw meat for two to three days.
General
•
Cooked dishes must be stored in airtight covered containers.
•
Don't store cooked and fresh food together in the same container.
•
Always allow hot food and beverages to cool first.
•
Leftover canned food should not be stored in the can.
•
High proof alcohol must be stored upright in tightly closed bottles.
•
Place chilled cooked food and similar food near the rear of the fridge where
it is coldest.
•
Keep food for as short a time as possible and adhere to 'best before' and 'use by' dates.
•
Don't let defrosting food or food juices drip onto other food.
