Fresh Food Storage Tips

To store unfrozen meats, fish and poultry: o Always remove store wrappings°

o Rewrap in foil, film or wax paper and refrigerate immediately.

To store cheese, wrap well with wax paper or aluminum foil, or put in a plastic bag_

=Carefully wrap to expe! air and help prevent mold,

o Store pre-packaged cheese in its own wrapping if you wish_

To store vegetables, use the vegetable drawers--they've been designed to preserve the natural moisture and freshness of produce.

o Covering vegetables with a moist towel helps maintain crispness°

o As a further aid to freshness, pre-packaged vegetables can be stored in their original wrapping°

To store ice cream--Fine-quality ice cream, with high cream content, will normally require slightly lower temperatures than more "airy" already- packaged brands with low cream content_

•it will be necessary to experiment to determine the freezer compartment location and temperature control setting to keep your ice cream at the right

serving temperature°

o The rear of the freezer compartment is slightly colder than the front.

Tips on freezing foods

There are three essential requirements for efficient home freezing,

1.Initial quality. Freeze only top-quality foods. Freezing retains quality and flavor; it cannot improve quality.

2.Speed. The quicker fruits and vegetables are frozen after picking, the better the frozen product will be. You'llsave time, too, with less culling and sorting to doo

3.Proper packaging. Use food wraps designed especially for freezing; they're readily available at most food stores,
