Storing food in your refrigerator compartment and variable-temperature drawer

 

Red meat

■■

Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed paper,

 

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.

■■Delicatessen meats should be used within the recommended storage time.

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.

 

Fish and seafood

■■

Whole fish and fillets should be used on the day of purchase. Until

 

 

required, refrigerate on a plate loosely 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.

 

Precooked foods and leftovers

■■

These should be stored in suitable covered containers so that the food

 

will not dry out.

■■

Keep for only 1 – 2 days.

■■

Reheat leftovers only once and until steaming hot.

 

Fruit and vegetable bins

■■Although most fruit and vegetable varieties store best at low temperatures, take care not to store the following at temperatures of less than 7°C for long periods:

Citrus fruit, melons, eggplant, pineapple, paw paw, courgettes, passionfruit, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes.

■■

Undesirable changes will occur at low temperatures such as softening

 

 

of the flesh, browning and/or accelerated decaying.

■■

Do not refrigerate avocados (until they are ripe), bananas, mangoes or

 

 

pepinos. If possible store fruit and vegetables separately, ie fruit in one

 

bin and vegetables in the other.
