Tips for keeping food perfect in the 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 meat on a plate large enough to collect juices
and cover it with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food
This allows cold air to circulate around the fridge, ensuring all parts of the
fridge are kept cool.
Wrap up food
To prevent the transfer of flavours or loss of moisture, food items should be
covered and/or packed separately. Fruit and vegetables need not
be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly
Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the fridge. This will
help to stop the internal temperature of the fridge from rising.
Shut the door
To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the
door. When returning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in the fridge
before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.
Where to store your foods in the fridge
• Place spreadable butter and cheese on the upper door shelf in the fridge
compartment. This is where the temperature is the warmest.
• Store preserves, jars and eggs on the middle shelf. Eggs are best stored on
the supplied egg tray.
• Place drink cartons and bottles in the large lower door shelves. Position full
containers closer to the hinge in order to reduce the strain on the door.
• Place cooked and baked foods on the glass shelves.
• Place fresh meat, game, poultry, bacon, sausage and raw fish on the
glass cover above the vegetable drawer. This is where the temperature
is the lowest.
• Place fresh fruit and vegetables in the vegetable tray.
• Only store strong alcohol standing upright and tightly closed.
• Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the fridge.
