Take extra care with meat and fish
Cooked meats should always be stored on a
shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial
transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is
large enough to collect juices and cover it with
cling film or foil.
Leave space around food
This allows cold air to circulate around the
Fridge, ensuring all parts of the Fridge are kept
cool.
Wrap up food!
To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out,
food should be separately packed or covered.
Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled
properly
Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before
placing in the Fridge. This will help to stop the
internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.
Shut the door!
To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the
number of times you open the door. When
retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in
your Fridge before opening the door. Only open
the door to put food in or take it out.
TIPS FOR SHOPPING FOR
FROZEN FOODS
Your Freezer is 4 star
When you are buying frozen food, look at the
Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be
able to store each item of frozen food for the
period shown against the 4 star rating. This is
usually the period stated as “Best, Before”,
found on the front of the packaging.
Check the Fridge/Freezer
temperature
Check the temperature of the frozen food
cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen
foods. It should show a temperature lower than
-18.
Choose packs carefully
Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect
condition.
Purchase frozen food last
Always buy frozen products last on your
shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
Keep frozen foods together
Try to keep frozen food together whilst
shopping, and on the journey home as this will
help to keep the food cooler.
Store food straight away
Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it
straight away. Special insulated bags can be
bought from most supermarkets and hardware
shops. These keep frozen food cold for longer.
Thawing frozen food
For some foods, thawing before cooking is
unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be
added directly to boiling water or steam cooked.
Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a
saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
FREEZING FRESH FOODS, USEFUL
TIPS
Use quality food and handle it as little as
possible. Freeze food in small quantities, it
freezes faster, takes less time to thaw and
enables you to eat it in the quantity you need.
Freezing fresh foods
First, estimate the amount of food you will be
freezing. If you are freezing large amounts of
fresh food, remember to turn the control dial to
Max. This will lower the temperature in the
Freezer (approx -30), freezing your food
quicker and helping to keep the goodness in.
However you should do this sparingly to
conserve energy.
Preparations for freezing
Leave cooked food to cool completely.
Chill food in a Fridge before freezing if
possible.
Consider how you want to cook the food
