Meat storage guide
Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and
moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following chart for
storage times. When storing meat longer than the times given,
freeze the meat.
Fresh fish or shellfish ................. use same day as purchased
Chicken, ground beef, variety meat (liver, etc.) ......... 1-2 days
Cold cuts, steaks/roasts ........................................... 3-5 days
Cured meats ........................................................... 7-10 days
Leftovers - Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or
plastic containers with tight lids.
The convertible vegetable/meat drawer can be adjusted to
properly chill meats or vegetables. The air inside the pan is
cooled to prevent "spot" freezing and can be set to keep meats
at the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage
temperatures of 28 °- 32°F (-2 °- 0°C).
IMPORTANT: To extend freshness, wrap meats in airtight,
moisture-proof materials before storing. Always store meat as
recommended.
Adjusting the control
The convertible control comes preset at the lowest meat setting.
To change a control setting: Move the control to the right
(colder) or to the left (less cold) as desired.
To store vegetables: Set the control at the VEG setting, all the
way to the left, to store vegetables at their optimal storage
temperatures (which need to be warmer than those for meat).
IMPORTANT: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left
(less cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.
Doing so gives the temperature of the food time to change.
