Food Storage Guide

There is a correct way to package and store refrigerated or frozen food. To keep food fresher,

longer, take the time to study these recommended steps.

Storing fresh food

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in air­
tight and moisture-proof material. This

prevents food odor and taste transfer

throughout the refrigerator. For dated pro­
ducts, check code date to ensure freshness.

Leafy vegetables

Remove store wrapping and remove bruised

and discolored areas. Wash in cold water
and drain. Place in plastic bag or plastic
container and store in crisper.

Vegetables with skins

(carrots, peppers)

Store in crisper, plastic bags, or plastic
container.

Fruit

Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in

plastic bags or crisper. Do not wash or hull
berries until they are ready to use. Sort and
keep berries in original container in a
crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper
bag on a refrigerator shelf.

Eggs
Store without washing in original carton on
interior shelf. On some models, an egg
storage container is provided for your
convenience.

Milk

Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place

milk on interior shelf.

Butter or margarine

Keep opened butter in covered dish or
closed compartment. When storing an
extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging
and freeze.

Cheese

Store in the original wrapping until you are

ready to use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly
in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Leftovers

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or alumi­
num foil. Plastic containers with tight lids
can also be used.

Meat

Store most meat in original wrapping as
long as it is airtight and moisture-proof.

Rewrap if necessary. See the following for

storage times. When storing meat longer
than the times given, freeze the meat.

Chicken........................ 1-2 days

Bacon........................... 5-7 days

Ground beef................. 1-2 days

Cold cuts...................... 3-5 days
