What Not to Store in the Refrigerator

Garlic (transmits odour), onions and leeks. Bananas (they will turn black).

Citrus fruits.

Potatoes and root vegetables (store in dark, dry places).

-Air in the refrigerator circulates naturally so that colder, heavier air tends to descend towards the bottom. This is why meat and fish should be stored just above the crisper.

-Remember to follow our instructions on the storage life of foods: If not stored correctly, even the freshest food will deteriorate quite quickly.

-Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not keep longer than fresh food.

-Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this will increase the humidity and lead to the formation of frost in the refrigerator.
