FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
Storing Fresh Food
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and
moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This
prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to
ensure freshness.
Butter or margarine
Store opened butter in a covered dish or in a closed
compartment. When storing a larger quantity, wrap in
freezer packing and freeze.
Cheese
Store in original packaging until you are ready to use it.
Once opened, tightly rewrap with plastic wrap or
aluminum foil.
Milk
Clean the carton. For best storage, place on an interior
shelf, not in the door.
Eggs
Store in original carton or in the egg compartment.
Fruit
Wash and let dry; store in plastic bags in the refrigerator.

Berries should be selected and kept in their original
packaging (if there is any) or in a paper bag closed
halfway and set on a shelf.
Leafy vegetables

parts. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in a plastic bag
or plastic container and store in the crisper.

STORING FROZEN FOOD
NOTE: For more information on how to prepare food to
be frozen such in a way to see the period they can be
stored consult a frozen food guide or a cook book.
Packaging
A great freezing depends on how great you package the
foods. When you seal the package make sure you
remove all excess air and do not allow humidity. A
package that is incorrectly sealed will result in the
transmission of bad odors, contaminants inside your
refrigerator, and will cause your foods to dry.
Packaging Recommendations:
Use sealed plastic containers.
Use plastic containers with a smooth surface.
Package with aluminum foil of high resistance.
Wrap with paper layered with plastic.
Use water proof plastic.
Use recommended plastic bags to store frozen foods.
Do not use:
Follow these packaging or container instructions in
order to reach the best freezing.
Bread wrapping.
Plastic container not safe for storing.
Containers without lids or seals.
Waxed paper or waxed plastic.
Thin wrapping paper or not water proof.
Freezing
IMPORTANT: Do not keep bottles in the freezer
compartment; they may explode after freezing and
cause damage.
For the maximum use of your freezer do not store excess
food. Do not introduce a large amount of unfrozen foods
that cannot be frozen within 24 hours (no more than 2 - 3
pounds or .91kg - 1.36 kg of food per square inch of space
in the freezer.) Sufficient space must be left in order for
the air to circulate properly around the packages. Leave
enough space in order to close your refrigerator with out
difficulty.
Storage times can vary depending on the type and quality
of the food, the way its package, or packaging container
used, (in comparison to air and humidity), and the
temperature it being stored in. Ice crystals formed inside
your package are normal it indicates the air and humidity
inside your package have condensed.
NOTE: Let warm foods cool off at room temperature for
approximately 30 min, then wrap accordingly with the
methods mention above and freeze. By letting your warm
foods cool off before you introduce them to your freezer it
will save you energy.
