Apple storage
You can treat homegrown apples in the
steam oven to increase the length of
time for which you can store them.
Once treated, the apples will keep for 5
to 6 months when stored in a dry, cool
and well-ventilated place. This method
is only suitable for apples and not for
other types of fruit.

ables into ice cold water to cool them
