Storing food correctly

Store food covered or packaged. This

will prevent food smells or tastes from

affecting other foods, and prevent food

from drying out and also any

cross-contamination of bacteria. The

growth of bacteria, such as salmonella,

can be avoided by setting the correct

temperature and maintaining good

standards of hygiene.

Fruit and vegetables

Fruit and vegetables can be stored

loose in the vegetable containers.

However, you should bear in mind that

some types of vegetables give off a

natural gas which speeds up the rate at

which food perishes. Some fruit and

vegetables react strongly to this gas

and should not be stored together.

Examples of fruit which produce a

large amount of this natural gas are:

Apples, apricots, pears, nectarines,

peaches, plums, avocado pears and

figs.

Examples of fruit and vegetables

which react strongly to the natural

gases given off by other types of fruit

and vegetables are:

Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels

sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,

apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes,

pears, nectarines and peaches.

Different types of unpacked meats

and vegetables must be kept

separate.

To avoid any microbiological

cross-contamination, these foods may

only be stored together if they are

wrapped.

Protein rich foods

Please note that foods rich in protein

deteriorate faster than others.

Shell fish for example deteriorates

faster than fish, and fish deteriorates

faster than meat.

Meat

Store meat in suitable containers, but

uncovered in the low humidity

compartment. (Undo wrappings and

leave containers open). The surface of

the meat will dry out slightly and protect

it from bacterial growth thus increasing

its storage qualities. To prevent the risk

of bacterial contamination keep meat

stored in suitable containers and do not

let different types of meat come into

direct contact with each other.

Take food out of the StayFresh zone

approx. 30 - 60 minutes before using

it. The aroma and taste do not fully

develop until the food has reached

room temperature.
