In order that products kept the useful properties longer and did not lose the taste, it is necessary to meet conditions of their storage. But it is not enough to follow those rules which are specified on labels. For storage of products in the fridge there are, special laws. Therefore it is worth understanding as how to store in the fridge.
The basic principles of storage of products in the fridge.
For a start it is necessary to remember several programs from school physics. Air temperature in the fridge is not distributed evenly. The coldest air - in the bottom of refrigeration chamber, and warm - above. From this it follows that the most perishable products have to be on the lower shelves, and all others - are higher.
Milk and dairy products.
If the bought milk is packaged in plastic bags, then it is the best of all to pour it or in clean glass jar, or in its plastic analog which is specially created for storage of foodstuff. If milk is poured in the plastic capacity or packing of TetraPack, then it is possible to store it without transfusion. Milk to be stored depending on fat content and packing from 5 to 45 days. The milk of the lowered fat content packed into TetraPack is most longer stored. The same rules are applicable also for sour-milk products, behind only that exception that it remains fresh much smaller period. As for tvorog and cheeses, they should be shifted from packing material in ceramic or glasswares. One and all dairy products have to avoid influence of pungent smells, otherwise they will deteriorate the put term much earlier. It is necessary to hold in the head the fact that the regiments located from the inside of fridge door are subject to the biggest temperature drops as they open and closed set of times every day. One and all dairy products are very sensitive to such temperature changes.
Fruit, vegetables and greens.
Before getting to the fridge, they have to be washed up in cold flowing water and are dried up. These products can be wrapped in polyethylene food wrap and are shifted in the lower department of the fridge. You should not go to far in film - there has to be place for ventilation and channel of air. It can be also helped by special rug for the fridge. He reminds foam rubber and is impregnated with antiseptic structure. It should be placed under the fruit and vegetables which are stored in the fridge that will positively affect the term of their storage. Separately from them it is worth storing such sources of pungent smell as garlic, ginger, etc. as they can become impregnated with their specific aroma. If fridge volume rather big, it is possible to store each type of vegetables, fruit and greens in separate glass plates, having also covered them with film. In it it is necessary to leave 2-3 small holes. It is impossible to store in the fridge bananas and pineapples at all - they lose the tastes from cold. It is the best of all to eat them as soon as possible after purchase.
Meat, bird and meat semi-finished products.
For their storage special plastic trays perfectly will be suitable for storage of foodstuff. If in plans for couple of days there is preparation of meat or bird, then they can be stored in ceramic, glass or plastic ware. It is better not to cover them. Semi-finished products like sausage or sausages are perfectly stored in the middle of space of the fridge. If there are no perishable or absorbing smell products around, it is possible to wrap sausages and sausage in polyethylene film, having left open that place which has been already made an incision. Semi-finished products like canned food are perfectly stored also out of the fridge. But if they are already open, then they should be stored in the fridge not longer than 2-3 days, otherwise contents banks will deteriorate. It is connected with the fact that the preserving substances are seldom added to canned food.
At the majority of modern fridges as material specially processed glass which interferes with development of microbes, bacteria and mold is applied to shelves.
Ready dishes.
One and all ready dishes have to be stored in the fridge no more than three days. And for salads this term is reduced to one day. Soups are perfectly stored in the same pans in which have been welded. As for pieces of fried meat, bird, fish or cutlets, they can be shifted or in glass or ceramic ware, having covered from above, or in special plastic ware for storage of products.
Drinks.
The modern drinks bought in shop dazzle in the structure with various dyes and preservatives. If not to open packing in which drink has been poured then it can quietly be in cupboard or somewhere else out of the fridge (adjusted for storage conditions on the label). If it is open, then it has to be stored on the lower shelves of the fridge no more than three days. The same rule concerns juice, both freshly squeezed, and bought in shop. Independently made drinks have to be stored in the fridge not longer than three days.
Storage conditions of alcoholic products in the fridge depend on its fortress. The alcohol is stronger, the it is less exacting to storage conditions.
Pastries, cakes, bread
Pies, pies, bread and other flour products it can be stored in the fridge with some reservations. It is necessary to understand that the made dough from cold shrinks, it concerns also some traditional bread. Therefore it is possible to store them only on the top shelves of the fridge the limited period of time. Bread can be moved to the closed bread box, pies, pies, pancakes and all similar can be shifted in the enameled ware. Special conditions of storage at the modern cakes both made independently, and acquired on the party. They have to be stored only in the bottom of refrigeration chamber, in closed form.
