Every day you eat to your heart’s content, so it becomes
immensely important to store food the right way. Often you do not know what to
do with leftover food and end up throwing them which is not a good idea. Listed
below is a set of smart tips for storing food in your refrigerator:
1. Fruits and vegetables - Keep fruits and
vegetables separately in the section given for them. Make sure apples are kept with apples, pears
with pears and so on. Do not mix up all the fruits as they may get spoilt
easily in that case.
2. Leftovers
– Remember that leftovers cannot remain in good shape for long, so it’s never a
good idea to keep them stored for long. Keep them in the fridge for a day or
two depending upon the nature of the food. Store the leftover food in airtight
containers and make sure you use them up soon.
3. Meat and poultry - Though non-vegetarian stuff
such as fish, chicken and others can be easily stowed in the freezer, you need
to make sure that they are not mixed with other products. Often ice-creams and
milk shakes are also stored in the freezer. Your ice-creams may end up getting
spoilt if they come into contact with the non-vegetarian stuff. That’s why
there are refrigerators which have a separate section altogether for meat and
poultry.
4. Dairy products - Store all the dairy products
such as milk, cream and cheese in their respective containers. But once they
are out in a bowl or any other vessel, do not put them back into their
containers as there are chances of spoilage. Instead simply cover the container
with a foil or any other protective material and keep the container compact and
clean.
