Page 28: Storing Food In Your Refrigerator
Storing food in your refrigerator Storing fresh, perishable foods in your refrigerator helps to extend storage times. The cold temperatures slow down the major causes of food spoilage – namely, the growth of bacteria, moulds and yeasts, and chemical and physical reactions. Fresh food care The quality of food before it is placed in the refrigerator is critical to successful storage. - Page 29 Storing food in your refrigerator Red Meat Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed paper or plastic wrap or foil. Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent any juices lost from the raw meat from contaminating the cooked product. Delicatessan meats should be used within the recommended storage time.

Page 30: Storing Food In Your Freezer
Storing food in your freezer The use of temperatures of -18˚C or colder to store food means that the food can be kept for longer periods than when refrigeration temperatures are used. This is because the growth of bacteria, moulds and yeasts are stopped, and chemical and physical reactions are severely restricted at very low temperatures. - Page 31 Storing food in your freezer Meat, Poultry and Game Do not try to freeze more than 1kg meat per 25L freezer capacity. Meat must be frozen quickly in order to maintain its texture. Do not stuff poultry before freezing. Red meat can be cooked from frozen, or from the partly or completely thawed states.
