Making the best use of your Fridge
To ensure that your fridge 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 covered to retain moisture and prevent flavour/odour
transference. Plastic bags, aluminium foil, plastic stretch wrap and containers
with lids are ideal.
● Avoid opening the doors unnecessarily or for longer than needed.
● Allow hot or warm food to cool down in covered containers before placing in
fridge, as placing hot food inside reduces efficiency.
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 interior back wall of the fridge, 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.
