Recommendations for storing food in the refrigerator
Which foods should be put in the fridge and which ones should be left out? How should food be stored in the refrigerator? Here are some notes about food and refrigerated storage…
Milk: You should always keep fresh milk in the refrigerator. Contrary to usual, it is more accurate to store milk and dairy products on cooler lower shelves, not on the refrigerator door. We would like to remind you that there may be big differences in the expiration dates of daily and pasteurized milk.
Eggs: Eggs are usually placed on the door of the refrigerator. However, this area may not have the coldness to keep the eggs fresh. We recommend that you store the eggs on the inside shelves of your refrigerator, paying attention to the expiration dates.
Cheese: Storage conditions of cheeses vary according to the type. However, when it comes into contact with oxygen, all cheeses deteriorate more quickly and color and taste changes may occur. Feta cheese and its derivatives should be stored in their own brine. Kashar cheese should be protected from moisture as well as air. If you are going to wrap the kashar cheese in a stretch film, we recommend wrapping it with clean paper towels to prevent moisture from forming mold.
Butter: Like cheese, butter loses its freshness more quickly when it comes into contact with air and discoloration may occur. We therefore recommend that you pack the butter firmly or place it in an airtight container before placing it in the refrigerator.
Meat: We recommend that you put the meat in the refrigerator immediately after purchase. Raw meat may contain some animal bacteria. For this reason, be careful not to come into contact with foods that are consumed without cooking, such as fruit and vegetables. Wrap and pack the meats so that the juice does not get into your closet and other foods. Piece of meats in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for 3-5 days, while the ground meat is 1-2 days.
Fruit: Water drops on the washed fruits cause moisture formation. It creates an ideal environment for the growth of moisture, bacteria and germs. For this reason, the fruits you put in the refrigerator after washing will spoil faster than the unwashed ones. We recommend that you wash the fruits and store them in the refrigerator immediately before consuming them.
Vegetables: Vegetable parts of refrigerators provide the right humidity and temperature value for your fresh vegetables and fruits. All vegetables except potatoes and onions can be stored in the vegetable compartment. Cooked foods containing eggs or cream: You can store cakes, pastries, bread, cookies and other similar foods in a refrigerator.
Frozen foods: Frozen foods such as meat, poultry and seafood may thaw at room temperature in a short time after thawing. For this reason, we advise you to remove frozen delicate foods from the freezer and thaw them in the refrigerator instead of directly exposing them to room temperature.
