Using the refrigerator efficiently

Different storage zones

The natural circulation of air throughout the appliance creates different temperature zones in the refrigerator. Cold air is heavier, so it sinks to the lowest section of the appliance. Take advantage of these different zones when you choose where to place food in the appliance.

Warmest area

The warmest area is in the top section of the door. You can use this area to store butter (to keep it spreadable), and cheese (to keep its flavour).

Coldest area

The coldest area in the refrigerator is directly above the vegetable containers.

Use this for all delicate and highly perishable food, such as:

–fish, meat, poultry,

–deli meats, store-bought meals,

–dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream,

–fresh bread dough, pastry dough, cake batters,

–raw milk cheeses and other raw milk dairy products,

–pre-packed vegetables and other fresh food with a best-before label that specifies a temperature of at least 4 °C (39 F).

Never store explosive materials in the appliance, or products with flammable propellants (spray cans, for example). Danger of explosion! If you store oily or greasy foods in the appliance door, make sure that no oil or grease spills onto the plastic parts. This can cause the plastic to crack and break. Do not allow food to touch the rear wall of the appliance, because it may freeze to the wall.

Food that should not be stored in a refrigerator

Some foods are not suitable for storing in the refrigerator. Here are some examples:

–Fruit and vegetables that are sensitive to cold, such as bananas, avocados, papaya, passion fruit, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers.

–Fruit that is not yet ripe.

–Potatoes.

–Some hard cheeses (for example, Parmesan).
