With the advancement of science and technology, the refrigeration technology and preservation function of modern refrigerators have been greatly improved, bringing a lot of convenience to our lives. However, for the refrigerator to really do its job and preserve food better, we also need to master some best practices for storing food in the refrigerator.
1.Reasonable partitioning: Partition the inside of the refrigerator reasonably, and place different food partitions to avoid mutual contamination. For example, store meat, seafood, and poultry on the lower level of the refrigerator, vegetables and fruits on the middle level, and perishable foods such as yogurt and cheese on the upper level.
2.Sealed containers: Using airtight containers to preserve food can reduce the contact between food and air, slowing down the rate of oxidation and spoilage.
3.Label management: Label each food container, indicating the name of the food, the date of storage and the expiration date, so that we can quickly find and understand the condition of the food.
4.Regular cleaning: Clean the inside of the refrigerator regularly to remove expired or spoiled food and keep the refrigerator clean and hygienic.
5.Temperature control: Make sure the refrigerator temperature is set within the proper range, too high a temperature can cause food to spoil faster.
6.Avoid over-refrigeration: Do not store food at too low temperatures for long periods of time, as over-refrigeration can deprive food of its taste and nutrients.
7.Classified storage: Perishable foods, such as meat and seafood, should be sorted before being stored in the refrigerator.
8.Maintain proper humidity: Place some moisture absorbers or wet towels inside the refrigerator to maintain proper humidity and prevent food from drying out.
By following these best practices, we can make better use of our refrigerators to preserve food and ensure its freshness and taste. At the same time, it can also reduce the possibility of food waste and spoilage, and provide a guarantee for our healthy life.
