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.

Storing Food in a Fridge

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.

Position food to allow cold air to circulate freely, ensuring nothing comes into contact with the back of the fridge compartment, or covers the defrost gutter drain hole below this.

Use the different storage zones inside your fridge compartment to store a wide variety of food items.
