Food storage tips – fresh food

Keeping food fresh

The quality of food before it is placed in the refrigerator is critical to successful storage.

For best results:

Select foods that are very fresh and of good quality.

Buy only the amount that you will use within the recommended storage time. If you buy extra, plan to freeze it.

Cover

Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in color or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odor transfer. Vegetables and fruit need not be wrapped provided they are stored in the vegetable bins of the refrigerator.

Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odors.

Separate

Store raw and cooked food in separate containers or packaging to prevent cross contamination. Store fruit and vegetables separately.

Chill

Refrigerate fresh, perishable foods as soon as possible after purchase. If left at room temperature for any length of time the rate of deterioration will be accelerated.

Make sure that there is enough room for air to circulate freely around food items. Cold air needs to circulate to maintain safe food storage.

Avoid opening the refrigerator drawer unnecessarily.

Cool hot foods down before placing them in the refrigerator. This should be done quickly. It can be aided by placing the container of food in a bowl of ice and water; renew the ice as necessary. (Note also that hot containers may damage storage bins or trays in the appliance).

In addition:

Keep the compartment clean. Wipe the inside walls and shelves frequently and place only clean containers in the compartment.

Check the quality of the food in your appliance regularly. Discard any food that shows signs of spoilage. Pay particular attention to meat, fish and poultry, as these foods are highly perishable. Use food within the recommended storage times.
