Storage Of Products

Nobody likes throwing out products. But at times to do this is necessary – when we open a refrigerator and we find meal in a condition not so capable to tempt appetite. That it does not happen, it is necessary to remember that almost each dish requires special storage conditions.

Who from us does not wish to go in a month to shop, to hammer in a refrigerator under an outset and with taste to eat all reserved before next month? But realities are that even in the advanced refrigerators products often enough spoil, and without having waited the hour. The conveyor a refrigerator-garbage can work constantly. There are some ways to break off such prodigal and unnatural circulation of meal in the nature: to buy it is less, but more often to observe storage conditions and carefully to choose packing for each kind of products.

As it is known, the period of storage of products in a refrigerator is influenced by many factors. The main things from them are temperature and humidity. For different products the storage conditions are required. For example, the temperature of thawing of ice is preferable to fresh meat or fish – nearby 0 ° C. Dairy products and cheese is better remain at temperature 4-6 ° C, and gentle fruit and vegetables, for example cucumbers, do not take out temperature more low 8-10 ° C. Many modern refrigerators are capable to provide such conditions by means of especial operating modes.

But to forget about competent packing of products even in the presence of a good refrigerator it is not necessary.

Food wisdom:

Temptation to put in a refrigerator food in that plate in which it was prepared is great. But to do this is not necessary, especially if it is a question of fried meat in a pig-iron frying pan (pig-iron is subject to a rust) or the porridge welded in an aluminum pan (oxidation process even in a refrigerator goes promptly).

If to store food in pans, only in enameled or made of a stainless steel. However and here it is not out of place to observe a number corrected. So, if in a soup pan remains very little, that, in smaller, soup it is necessary to boil, cool its modulation and only then to put in a refrigerator. Otherwise your first dish will quickly deteriorate: after all the smaller capacity was not sterile. If the meal was stored in the enameled or glass pan, do not hasten to put at once from a refrigerator it on fire. The ware together with contents should be warmed to a room temperature. In this case care any more of meal, and about ware. Otherwise it can burst.

Milk and juice is recommended to be stored in original packing. That who prefers unbottled milk, it is necessary to know that to store it in plastic bottles it is undesirable. It is better to pour at once milk in glass container and in it to sterilize, having put a bottle in a pan with water and having boiled it.
