Food stored in the refrigerator time is not too long. General need to freeze the fish and meat food storage time of up to one month, milk yogurt 2-3 days, bread 3-5 days, fish and meat sausage 1-3 days, leafy greens (such as spinach) 3-5 days, stalks (radish, celery) 1 -2 weeks, apples 1-3 weeks.
Where in the refrigerator should different foods be stored?
1. Suitable for the refrigerator door shelves: there are packaged but opened, itself will not go bad in a day or two of food, such as ketchup, salad dressing, sesame sauce, seafood sauce, cheese, butter, jam, juice, etc., as well as eggs, salted duck eggs, and other egg foods.
2. Suitable for placing on the upper floor against the door: directly imported cooked food, yogurt, desserts and so on. When storing these foods, you should avoid low temperatures and prevent cross-contamination of raw and cooked foods, so they should not be placed on the lower level.
3. Suitable to be placed at the back wall of the upper level: leftovers, leftover soymilk, packaged soy products and so on. As these foods are prone to bacterial growth, a temperature slightly below 0 ℃ is most suitable.
4. Suitable for placing on the lower level by the door: a variety of vegetables and apples, pears and other temperate fruits, and to be packed in a plastic bag, so as not to cause freezing due to the temperature is too low.
5. Suitable for placing in the lower back wall: no cooking cooked, but also need to be preserved at low temperatures of food, such as water tofu, salted kelp shreds, etc., as well as tightly packaged not afraid of cross-contamination of food, and waiting for slowly thawed food, suitable for storing in the coldest place, such as the lower back wall.
6. Suitable for storage in the preservation box: acid refrigeration meat, half frozen fish, fresh shrimp and other seafood. As the bacteria in aquatic products tend to be resistant to low temperatures, the temperature is slightly higher to accelerate their reproduction, and the fresh box can play a role in isolation to avoid cross-pollution, but also has the effect of insulation, to avoid frequent opening and closing of the refrigerator door to produce temperature fluctuations. In addition, if there is a special temperature-adjustable preservation box, it is best to put the meat in the -1 ℃ - 1 ℃ preservation box.
Foods that should not be stored in the refrigerator
Biscuits, candies, honey, pickles, yellow sauce, dried fruit, powdered foods, dried foods, etc., are not required to be placed in the refrigerator. They either have a very low moisture content and microorganisms cannot reproduce; or they have a high concentration of sugar and salt, a high osmotic pressure, and very little free moisture, and microorganisms cannot reproduce.
Putting honey in the refrigerator encourages it to crystallize and precipitate glucose. This change does not affect the safety of the honey or its nutritional value, it just affects the evenness of the taste. Some families therefore think that honey is corrupted and throw away the whole bottle of honey, wasting electricity and then wasting food, which is a great pity!
Another example, tea, milk powder, coffee and other dry products into the refrigerator, if the seal is not tight, but will make the refrigerator in the flavor and moisture into the food, both affect the flavor, but also easy to mold.
Chocolate into the refrigerator, after a long time, easy to fat crystallization of the crystalline changes, although it will not deteriorate, the taste will gradually become rough, the surface of the long frost, no longer fine and uniform. Putting it in the freezer is even worse. In fact, chocolate is suitable for room temperature in the teens to 20 degrees.
There are other fruits that should not be put in the freezer, such as mangoes, bananas and other tropical fruits, which are suitable for storage at around 12 degrees Celsius and are usually kept at room temperature in a cool place. If you put them in the refrigerator, instead, they will be subjected to cold damage and spoil early. Starchy foods such as steamed buns, rolls and bread can be kept at room temperature if they are not finished in one or two meals. Putting them in the refrigerator will, on the contrary, speed up the rate at which these foods become dry and hard. If you want to store more than 3 days, it is best to wrap and put into the freezer box, eat when you take out the microwave freezing 1-2 minutes can be, the taste is as fresh as ever.
There are also some foods that can be temporarily placed in the refrigerator, such as various beverages and beer. But they don't actually have to be stored in the fridge, they're just there to lower the temperature and make them taste cooler when you drink them. You can store them at room temperature on weekdays and put them in the fridge half a day before drinking. This can save a lot of power and space.
