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
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°C.
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°C), freezing your food quicker and helping to
keep the goodness in. However you should do this sparingly to conserve energy.
