Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge
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 liquids 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.

Choose packs carefully

Purchase frozen food last

Keep frozen foods together

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
