Making the best use of your Fridge Freezer

Note : Always use the handle provided to open the fridge / freezer door. To ensure that your fridge freezer operates as efficiently as possible :

●Follow food packaging “best before/use by” instructions or your suppliers advice on a suitable maximum storage time.

●Keep foods tightly covered to retain moisture and prevent flavour/odour transference. Plastic bags, aluminium foil, plastic stretch wrap and containers with lids are ideal.

●Select chilled and frozen food last when shopping, transport in a ‘cool bag’ and place in freezer as soon as possible after arriving home.

●Avoid opening the doors unnecessarily or for longer than needed.

●Allow hot or warm food to cool down in covered containers before placing in the fridge or freezer, as placing hot food inside reduces efficiency.

●Prepare fresh foods for freezing in small quantities to ensure that the food freezes quickly and so that its quality does not deteriorate.

●Ensure that packets/containers of food are dry before freezing otherwise they may freeze together.

●Pack and store cooked and fresh food separately.

●Wrap raw or defrosting meat and poultry in polythene or foil and store below cooked foods and dairy products to avoid contamination of dripping food juices.

●Wrap cheese in greaseproof paper and place in an airtight container or polythene bag.

Bring to room temperature before consuming.

●Empty left over canned food into a covered storage containers before placing in the fridge.
