Meat

Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following chart for storage times. When storing meat longer than the times given, freeze the meat.

Chicken

1-2 days

Ground beef

1-2 days

Variety meats (liver, heart, etc.)

1-2 days

Cold cuts

3-5 days

Steaks/roasts

3-5 days

Cured meats

7-10 days

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic containers with tight lids can also be used.

Storing Frozen Food

NOTE: For further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on the correct packaging. When you close and seal the package you must not allow air or moisture in or out. If you do, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator, and also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

■Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids

■Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

■Heavy-duty aluminum foil

■Plastic-coated paper

■Non-permeable plastic wraps (made from saran film)

■Specified freezer self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use:

■Bread wrappers

■Non-polyethylene plastic containers

■Containers without tight lids

■Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

■Thin, semi-permeable wrap

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze any large quantity of food. Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot [907-1,350 g per liter] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.
