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.

How do you store your baby's food?

We know that the first 6 months should only be breastfed and then supplementary food supplements, but we should know that breastfeeding should continue until the age of 2. Of course we do our best to make the most of this nutritional plan. We prepare menus with strong nutritional values ​​and always try to use fresh and non-additive ingredients. And the next step? Do you know how to heat, store or preserve the food you prepare for your baby later? We have a few tips for you.

How is Baby Food Stored in the Refrigerator?

Storage conditions are very important for your baby to eat both fresh and delicious food. Bacteria are quite suitable to multiply at room temperature. You should keep your baby's meals in a refrigerator storage container. Even this storage container would be a healthier choice though a glass jar. You should not store the baby food in the refrigerator for more than 2 days. Remember, no matter how good the cooling force of your refrigerator, it is inconvenient to keep a meal for more than 2 days. If you use a freezer, you can still use the fridge to defrost your baby's food. Take your food out of the freezer and place it in the refrigerator.

Should we freeze or hide?

You can store your baby's nutrients in deep freezers while the ready-to-open is opened from deep freezers. Freezing the baby's food piece by piece ensures that the food lasts longer while the food is not wasted. You can keep the purees, meat and vegetables that you cut in the freezer. Do not use glass jars in the freezer, special refrigerator bags and storage containers will be more convenient. Because the windows can explode from extreme cold. Make a note of the date by gluing paper over the bag containing the food. So you know how fresh your food is. You must consume the foods you keep in the freezer within 3 months.

Caution Before Storage!

After cooling your food should be placed in the storage container. After you cook your food for a while, let it cool down. Do not take this time to avoid bacterial growth. As soon as your food cools down, you can place it in a storage container and put it in the freezer or freezer.

Heating Baby Meals

Heating baby food is as important as keeping it. Frozen baby food should not be thawed at room temperature. You can dissolve them by heating them in a small pot. If the food you store is in the jar, fill it with hot water and place the jar in the container. A food that appears to be completely dissolved may not all have equal temperatures. Always check the temperature before giving it to your baby. The most important point is; reheating a frozen and thawed food may cause bacterial growth. So keep your food in small, small portions, as you cannot reheat the food you have frozen and heated.

How to store vegetables and fruits?

We've put together a few of the best methods to help you keep your vegetables and fruits fresh.

1
Have you ever looked at your refrigerator or any other closet and found fruit or vegetables that are no longer fresh and not even edible? We make this mistake all the time, and we don't even think about how often it happens, and how much money we spend on food that eventually ends up in the trash.

2
Correctly storing avocados

The raw avocado should be stored in a thick paper bag or wrapped in newspaper and kept at room temperature until ripe. Then put in a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator. Do not place certain types of fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator.

3
Broccoli and cauliflower likes moisture

You can keep the broccoli in the best way by putting the root in water and covering it with a wet towel. The water should be changed regularly and the towel soaked frequently.

4
Store fruits and vegetables in the warm part of the refrigerator

As the temperature decreases, it becomes difficult to maintain the aroma and freshness of fruits and vegetables. If you want them to retain their flavor for a little longer, store your fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator where the temperature is slightly higher.

5
Tomatoes should be stored with their stems facing up

The area around the stalk is the most sensitive part of the tomato. That's exactly where they start to rot. Therefore, tomatoes should be stored with their stems facing up.

6
Put a few apples next to the potatoes

If you put one or two apples next to your potatoes, you can keep the potatoes fresh for longer.

7
Garlic and onion likes darkness

The best friend of garlic and onions is dark. If you do not have a large, unlit area, you can store it in paper bags where you drill a few holes for air passage. This way you can store onions and garlic wherever you want and at the same time meet your dark needs.

8
Grape remains fresher in polyethylene bags

When you store grapes in a refrigerator with polyethylene bags or stretch film, you will see that they do not rot quickly and remain juicy and fresh.

9
Do not put certain types of fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator

Bell peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes should be stored at room temperature. While the peppers stored in the refrigerator lose their vitality, cucumbers and tomatoes can become sludge.

10
Wrap celery in foil

When celery is wrapped in foil and stored in the refrigerator, it remains fresh for longer. When it comes into contact with plastic, it loses its flavor and intensity.


11 18
Wrap the banana stalks

When stored in a refrigerator, bananas quickly darken and lose their taste. Most accurately, it is to maintain at room temperature - but so that the stems are wrapped with stretch film.

12
Potatoes exposed to sunlight decompose

You should never store potatoes in direct sunlight. Not just to rot; they also become dangerous. It is best to keep it in a dry, dark place in wooden or plastic boxes.

13
Onions and potatoes must be in separate places

When you keep the onions and potatoes in the same place, the potatoes start to sprout and become inedible.

14
Asparagus should be stored like a bouquet of flowers

Asparagus should be kept in a glass full of water, like a flower bouquet. So it can stay fresh for a long time.

15
Do not wash anything before storing

It may sound strange; but in reality it is much more accurate not to wash fruits and vegetables before putting them in the refrigerator. If the fruit or vegetable is dirty, only wipe it with a dry cloth or napkin. Washing causes weakening of their natural defenses against mold or decay.

16
Fruits and vegetables like dry environments

Moisture only encourages food to mold. The best counterattack to this problem is to place a paper napkin on the bottom of the basket where you put the fruit and vegetables - the napkin absorbs excess moisture and prevents the product from rot.

17
Do not put certain types of fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator

Bell peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes should be stored at room temperature. While the peppers stored in the refrigerator lose their vitality, cucumbers and tomatoes can become sludge.

What should be done to keep cheese for a long time?

It is necessary to know the storage conditions of cheese, which is a must for breakfast tables.

It should also be remembered that there are important points to consider when purchasing.
What should you pay attention to when buying cheese?

To keep the cheese in the cupboard for a long time, you need to be careful when buying it.

When buying cheese, you should pay attention to the last consumption date. If the cheese is going to be consumed, do not prefer it. Because you cannot store the products for which the expiry date is near.
Another consideration is the packaging. You should not buy punctured, torn or deformed packaged products. Also, make sure that the color of the cheese has not changed.

How to Store Cheese?


Not all types of cheese can be stored in the same way. To do this, you need to apply the appropriate method to store the type of cheese.

If the last consumption date on the packaging is a new one, the cheese is fresh. Therefore, you can use it in your own packaging, taking care to consume that cheese quickly.
The environment in which we store cheese should be slightly damp, cool, dark and airy. In the absence of such an environment and nowadays, everyone keeps their cheeses in their refrigerators. It is important to note that the cheese is able to breathe and maintain its moisture.
White cheese loses its freshness and flavor in two weeks. It is resistant to hard cheeses such as cheddar cheese or overalls for several weeks. Quite hard cheeses like Gruyere show durability for up to a month.
If you store cheese in a plastic container, you may notice that it deteriorates in less time. For this reason, make sure that any kind of cheese you store in the refrigerator is in a closed, non-plastic container. Cheddar cheese and so on. you can store the cheeses by wrapping them in sulfur paper. You should take care to keep moisture and air in every kind of cheese.


If the cheese is large in size, it should be cut into a smaller container to be consumed in a short time, but should be kept without slicing. Because each time the cheese is removed from the refrigerator and heats up again and the structure begins to deteriorate. Sliced ​​parts, on the other hand, come in more contact with the outside environment.
Old cheddar-derived cheeses should be stored without cleaning the husk and cleaning should be done just before consuming the cheese.

Storage Recommendations for Increased Food

The most important condition for increasing food consumption is to ensure proper storage conditions. It is necessary to evaluate the increasing dishes without waiting for a long time without bacterial nests. Otherwise, it causes food poisoning. Freezing food that has reached room temperature immediately in airtight bags or containers is the method that allows them to be stored for the longest time. Foods put in the refrigerator when it is hot, because of the increase in moisture, the growth of harmful bacteria is accelerating. Nevertheless, it should not be left in the open to make sure it reaches room temperature. According to nutritionists, food should be refrigerated within the first 2 hours after cooking. Instead of waiting for a large pot to cool down, dividing the estimated amount into a separate container or small container will allow the food to cool faster.

If you do not immediately evaluate the remaining food, put it in the freezer. In the morning of the food to be thawed in the fridge and let it dissolve in the morning and consume in the evening.
Storage of Increased Salads;

Usually when our guests will come, we make the salads we prepare as much as possible. Of course, the next day a full salad remains.

It is not right to store salad with greens, because the taste of the waiting salad changes even if it does not spoil. If possible, make as much as you can eat and consume the same day.

You can store your yogurt salads in containers that do not breathe for 4-5 days, especially if you have used garlic.
I don't recommend freezing salads, except for vegetables like roasted red peppers. Because they will release water after thawing, both vitamins will disappear and their taste will change.

So what cooked dishes are stored in the freezer?
1. You can also store wrapping and stuffing without cooking;

You can also store the stuffing and stuffing such as leaf wrap, stuffed peppers in suitable containers without cooking. Then, you can cook your stuffed stuffing by removing the oil and hot water.
2. Storing legumes dishes;

If you have cooked and increased your legumes such as beans and chickpeas, you can divide and serve them in suitable containers. However, storage time is slightly shorter than raw foods.
3. Storing cooked or uncooked meatballs;

I recommend you to store all kinds of meatballs, such as juicy meatballs and dry meatballs, in a suitable container by wrapping them in greaseproof paper or in a refrigerator bag.

4. Storing your pastries;

You can store pastries such as cakes, pastries, pastries in suitable containers or wrap them in greaseproof paper. Do not wait for very long months alone, try to consume within a maximum 2-3 months.

5. To be ready for your guests who can come at any moment;

For your guests who come at any time, you can wrap cigarette pastries in bulk and store them in the freezer without cooking. I recommend that you remove them by wrapping them in greaseproof paper in order to avoid any space.

6. How should the meat or chicken juices you prepare at home be stored?

You can store your homemade meat or chicken juices in small refrigerator bags or in small jars, if available, so that it will be very easy to use.
7. Do not throw away the fat of the chicken and meat cooked in the oven!

You can use it in soups and rice after draining the oil and water of the chicken or meat cooked in the oven.

In preservation methods, it is very important to consider the characteristics of fruits and vegetables. The storage methods of green vegetables and citrus fruits are different from each other. If you store the products correctly, you can use both your money and your time efficiently.

Things to consider when storing vegetables and fruits

Always wash your fruits and vegetables when you are going to consume them. This prevents the moisture in the refrigerator from decaying the products.

You may prefer perforated containers as storage containers.

How fruits and vegetables last long

Be careful not to keep your fruits and vegetables together. Fruits can cause the deterioration of the adjacent vegetables as they produce ethyl gas.

Home frozen healthy vegetables and fruits

The consumption of many packaged, frozen, ready-to-eat foods that are frequently encountered in the market is increasing rapidly. Is it right to mention that this type of frozen food is healthy?

Nutrition As an expert, it should be noted that frozen foods are absolutely unhealthy. Frozen pizza, stuffed meatballs, potato croquettes, ravioli, hamburger meatballs, pastries, puff pastry and lahmacun are high in calories, salt, saturated fats and trans fats, so they will not be included in a healthy diet plan. More importantly, these foods go through many processes before being put into freezers, which are of concern for nutritional value. If you want to eat fresh gumbo and fragrant peppers in winter, I recommend you to keep the vegetables and fruits you bought in the market in your own freezer during the season and consume them at your table in every season of the year.

USEFUL FOR FOOD QUALITY
After the fresh vegetables, fruits and oilseeds are removed from the branch, the metabolic activities in the food continue until they reach us. Without proper storage, even in our refrigerator, it is possible to store it intact for a certain period of time due to biochemical and microbiological activities in food. So it is impossible to store tomatoes for months at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Because vegetables and fruits with high water content accelerate the reactions that cause deterioration in the presence of this water. The freezing process allows the free water in the food to freeze and prevent microbiological and biochemical reactions by lowering the temperature in many freshly picked vegetables, fruits and oil seeds. Fresh vegetables, fruits and oilseeds are preserved in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals when they are removed from their branches when they are put into suitable storage containers without being exposed to any process with their tender conditions. For example, the loss of vitamin C in a fresh vegetable is 50 percent loss with a day's waiting, while freezing decreases to a minimal level.

GOLDEN RULES
When you freeze your fresh food, the four most important criteria are to ensure that the food is harvested at the time of harvest, ripe, free of fragmentation and thoroughly washed. Because the chance of storing fresh ripe food in the deep freeze and consuming the freshness of the first day increases. The sooner you buy the food you will freeze, the sooner you throw it into the freezer, the less food loss. According to many studies, green leafy vegetables such as spinach, peas, purslane should be consumed within seven days from the date of their arrival at the grocery stores. In the freezer, these vegetables can be stored for months at the same nutritional value. Different researches; It also indicates that the nutrient losses of the fresh foods harvested under suitable conditions after the freezing process are very few in their forms after a few months have passed.

HOW MUCH FOOD IS STORED?
The most important point you need to pay attention to in this regard, you can not find every season, choosing the appropriate food to store in your freezer. Because it is both impossible and not necessary to freeze all foods. For example, you can find red and white meats in good quality throughout the year. Therefore, it is not wise to keep it in the freezer for months. But in the season, the freshest branch of the highest level of vitamins-minerals in that season, various vegetables, fruits and some oil seeds in different seasons, you can not find the same quality is the most healthy alternative to the freezer. Fresh tomatoes, okra, hot peppers, asparagus, beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, celery, peas, green beans, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, black mulberries, cherries, some apple varieties, fresh nuts, fresh walnuts, fresh pistachios and fresh pumpkin seeds can be the most valuable food for your deep freeze.

DO NOT BOOST FOODS
Many people pre-boil the vegetables and fruits to keep them alive in the freezer. In fact, this process of vitamins in vegetables and fruits to cause serious losses by boiling water, increase enzyme activities; in the thawing process after freezing, the fresh vegetable-fruit is softened and causes both the shape and flavor to deteriorate. For this reason, spinach, purslane, okra and peas, such as vegetables or fruit to be thoroughly washed and dried after making sure that the appropriate container should be put into the deep freezer. The same practical process can be applied to fresh hazelnuts, walnuts and pistachios. Research at the University of Chester in England, fresh vegetables, fruits and oil seeds for at least 4-6, up to 8 months, preserving the freshness of the report says. In fact, they compare these freshly frozen foods in terms of nutritional value and freshness, indicating that there is no difference in terms of antioxidants and minerals. Put fresh food in containers that you can consume while freezing. Because re-freezing the frozen fresh food causes the nutritional value to be lost very quickly and accelerates the enzyme activities to spoil the food. You should thaw the frozen fresh foods slowly in the refrigerator at cold temperature and make them ready to eat. Thawing in this way does not cause any odor change in the food and prevents it from softening and keeps it alive at the time you first freeze.

2nd
Try to keep the temperature of your refrigerator between 1 ° C - 4 ° C so that your food is stored at a maximum of 5 ° C. Do not put hot food in the fridge immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase the temperature of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoilage of food.
3
Cooked foods should be covered appropriately, and raw meat and fish should be covered and stored in freezers in airtight containers.

5
We do not recommend aluminum containers at all. We just say don't prefer glass for milk. Because milk is a very serious source of vitamin B 2. This vitamin disappears when it receives sunlight. So it should be stored in containers that do not transmit light. Can be stored in the refrigerator in its own box.

There is no risk with the egg after the egg is cooked. But it carries the risk of being cooked. Therefore, when we receive the eggs in the box we have to keep. It is usually placed on egg racks inside the refrigerator, but this is not true.
7
Vegetables are usually put in bags. However, there is a continuous plastic transition from bag to vegetable. For this reason, it is better to empty the bag after placing the vegetable and put it in the refrigerator. The hottest and most exposed part of your refrigerator is the door. Store food such as sauces, jams and juices with preservatives.
8
The freezer is the coldest part of your refrigerator. Raw meat and fish should be kept in this section. Putting such food in the freezer will also prevent germ contamination of your other foods. When placing food in the refrigerator, do not put food in ice cream and yogurt containers. These containers are marked with the expiration date of the food inside. The container should also be used until this date. After that, when you continue to use the food drinks and plastic will pass. Storage containers prepared and sold for this purpose can be used for food storage.
9
Do not keep fruits and vegetables together. Because some fruits produce ethylene gas, which causes deterioration of the vegetables next to them more quickly. You can store vegetables and fruits in perforated containers in the refrigerator. Many fruits and vegetables must be stored in the refrigerator. However, it is better that some stay at room temperature. Tomatoes, potatoes, garlic, onions are the vegetables that should not be put in the refrigerator. These vegetables and fruits should be kept in air-perforated containers and should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
10
If you do not consume the bananas in 2-3 days, store in the refrigerator. If the shells darken, the inside will remain hard for longer. Artichoke, asparagus, celery, such as vegetables in the content of the water to reduce the freshness of the refrigerator is useful to keep.

9 rules for storing food in the refrigerator

Most of the products purchased during the weekly kitchen shopping are usually kept in the refrigerator. Therefore, to prevent waste, to maintain nutritional values ​​and health, the refrigerator has a very important place in our lives. There are many rules to be observed, from cleanliness to placement. Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital Department of Nutrition and Diet. Aslıhan Altuntaş gave important information about the rules to be followed in the refrigerator layout.

1) Refrigerator cleaning is the first factor to be considered in terms of health. Vinegar can be used for cleaning the refrigerator. 1 liter of water by putting 1 tablespoon of vinegar in the refrigerator should be wiped and after drying the food should be placed in the refrigerator.

2) Packaged foods and breakfast plates should be kept on the top shelf for hygiene. Otherwise, bacteria can be transmitted to the foodstuffs that will be consumed without any cooking process, from the packages of packaged foods or from the pieces that may fall from the fruit and vegetables. In the refrigerators below the freezer, the breakfast should be on the top.
refrigerator-cleaning-shutter

3) Cooked dishes should be placed on the second shelf. It should be stretched and not in contact with each other. They are more risky than uncooked raw foods because they are the foods to be heated and consumed directly.

4) Foods such as raw meat and yogurt can be placed on the right shelf with the mouth closed and on the third shelf without contact with each other. Chicken and fish can also be packed or in glass containers on this shelf.

5) Fruit and vegetable section should be on the bottom shelf. However, fruit and vegetables should not be kept in the fridge with market or market bags. This is one of the biggest mistakes made. Nutrients must be removed from their packages. If it is wet, it must be dried and put in the refrigerator. For this reason, it is most practical to place it in the closet by washing and drying it as it will provide convenience in the preparation stage. It can be stored in pouch paper or non-plastic storage containers specially designed for storage.

6) Waiting times in the freezer are essential. When the food is frozen, the bacteria in it are frozen. So they don't die. As soon as thawing process starts, those bacteria start to reactivate again. For this reason, how long the food stays in the freezer is very important. Because the structure and texture of nutrients begin to change. Raw vegetables that have not been processed can stand in the freezer for up to 1 year, while the vegetables to be cooked and stored should be stored for a maximum of 2-3 months. After thawing it should be consumed immediately. The fish can be kept for 2-3 months, raw meat or minced meat made from raw meat for 9-12 months. Since cooked red meat is processed, it should remain for 2-3 months. Chicken and turkey meat should be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months, even if they are raw.

7) Thawing process should be removed from the freezer one day in the cold cabinet, ie in the refrigerator. Dissolving in water is not healthy. Foods that freeze in the freezer become prone to spoilage once thaw begins. The risk of food poisoning also increases. For this reason, it is especially important to dissolve potentially risky foods such as meat and poultry in the refrigerator without any intervention. However, there is no problem that the vegetables are dissolved in hot or cold water. It is commonly dissolved by adding directly into the food. In addition, thawed food should not be frozen a second time.

8) Onions, garlic and potatoes are the main foods that should not be put on the shelf of fruits and vegetables. They can sprout very quickly when exposed to certain temperatures and humidity. Tomatoes should also be stored in vegetable baskets at room temperature without being placed in the closet. Bananas, avocados, oranges, tangerines and apples should not be placed in the refrigerator. Uncut melon and watermelon can also be stored at room temperature. Fruits and vegetables should be consumed weekly or maximum 2 weeks if possible. Apart from these, flour is one of the foods that should not be put in the refrigerator. Flour, coffee and spices are foods that should not be stored in a humid environment, so they should not be placed in the refrigerator. There is a wrong idea in the society that spices should be put in the refrigerator in order not to mold. However, moisture is important in spices. Microorganisms that cause aflatoxin-producing molds in a humid environment have a higher risk of reproduction. They are both very harmful and can easily reproduce in spices, especially in chili peppers. In addition, spices should not be kept for a long time and taken in high weight. Therefore, it is not safe to take open spices from herbalists and how long they have been standing there. In the same way, olive oil, jam and honey should not be put in the refrigerator. Refrigerator temperature is not particularly suitable for olive oil. Pickled and pickled foods are already made to ensure long storage conditions and do not need to be put in the refrigerator.

9) Egg is one of the richest in protein and potentially prone to spoilage. The biggest mistake made in the egg is to wash it and put it in the refrigerator. When the egg is soaked and placed in a humid environment such as a refrigerator, some bacteria in the shell called salmonella can penetrate more inward from the shells and reproduce more as water activity increases. For this reason, the eggs should be stored in their own box or refrigerator egg without being washed or wiped with a dry cloth.
