Tips
R
• When storing fresh food, be sure to wrap or put food in airtight and
moisture-proof material unless otherwise instructed. This will ensure
proper shelf life and prevent the transfer of odors and tastes.
• Packaging recommendations: containers with airtight lids, heavy-duty
aluminum foil and self-sealing plastic or silicone bags.
• Eggs should be stored in the refrigerator in an upright position in their
original carton.
• Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the freezer or
refrigerator. This will prevent unnecessary energy use.
• When storing meats, keep in the original packaging or rewrap as necessary.
Mark with an expiration date.
• Foods will keep longer in the freezer in air-tight packages. Improper
storage will result in dryness, freezer burn and odor/taste transfer.
• DO NOT refreeze foods which have been thawed completely.
