Dairy foods and eggs
Most pre-packed dairy foods have a recommended use by / best before
■ ■
/ best by date stamped on them. Store them using Fridge mode and
use within the recommended time.
Vacuum packed cheese should be kept unopened in the original
■ ■
packaging. Once opened, place in a sealed plastic bag, or wrap in foil
to prevent drying out.
Butter can become tainted by strong smelling foods so it is best stored
■ ■
in a sealed container.
Eggs should be stored using Fridge mode. For best results, especially
■ ■
when baking, remove the eggs from the drawer two hours before they
are to be used.
Red meat
Place fresh red meat in a covered container or loosely cover with waxed
■ ■
paper, plastic wrap or foil.
Store cooked and raw meat separately. This will prevent any juices from
■ ■
the raw meat contaminating the cooked product.
Delicatessen meats should be used within the recommended storage time.
■ ■
For best results, store fresh red meat using Chill mode.
■ ■
Poultry
Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and out with cold running
■ ■
water. Dry and place on a plate. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil.
Poultry pieces should also be stored this way. Whole poultry should never
■ ■
be stuffed until just before cooking, otherwise food poisoning may result.
Cool and refrigerate cooked poultry quickly. Remove stuffing from
■ ■
poultry and store separately.
For best results, store fresh poultry using Chill mode.
■ ■
Fish and seafood
Whole fish and fillets should be used on the day of purchase. Until
■ ■
required, refrigerate covered with plastic wrap, waxed paper or foil.
If storing overnight or longer, take particular care to select very
■ ■
fresh fish. Whole fish should be rinsed in cold water to remove loose
scales and dirt and then patted dry with paper towels. Place whole
fish or fillets in a sealed plastic bag.
Keep shellfish chilled at all times. Use within 1 – 2 days.
■ ■
For best results, store fresh seafood using Chill mode.
■ ■
Important!
Always store raw meat, poultry, fish separately in the CoolDrawer to stop them dripping on or
touching other foods.
