STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
The fridge compartment helps to extend the storage times of fresh
perishable foods.
Fresh food care
For best results:
•
Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
•
Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will
prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will
help maintain freshness. It will also prevent odour transfer. Vegetables and
fruit need not be wrapped if they are stored in the vegetable container of the
fridge compartment.
•
Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and
stored away from foods such as butter, milk and cream which can be tainted
by strong odours.
•
Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge compartment.
Dairy foods and eggs
•
Most pre-packed dairy foods have a recommended 'use by /best
before/best by/ date stamped on them. Store them in the fridge compartment
and use within the recommended time.
•
Butter can become tainted by strong smelling foods so it is best stored
in a sealed container.
•
Eggs should be stored in the fridge compartment.
