Tips for keeping food perfect in the larder fridge
Take extra care with meat and fish
Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to avoid bacterial
transfer.Keep raw meats on a plate large enough to collect juices and cover it with cling
film or foil.
Leave space around the food
This will allow cold air to circulate around the larder fridge.
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.
Let pre-cooked food cool properly
Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put it in the larder fridge. This will stop
the internal temperature of the larder fridge from rising.
Shut the door!
To prevent cold air escaping, limit the number of times you open the door. When returning
from shopping,sort foods to be kept in your larder frige while the door is closed.
Where to store your foods in the fridge.
This is where to store foods which will keep longer if they are kept cool,hard cheeses
eg.cheddar,bottles of salad dressings,sauces and jams. Fats,eg, butter,margarine,low-fat
spreads, cooking fats and lard Eggs.
Temperature control
NOTE: Your fridge must only be used to store food.
