CARING FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Power interruptions

If electricity goes off, call the power com­
pany. Ask how long power will be off.
1. If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or

less, keep both doors closed. This will
help foods stay frozen.

2. If service is to be interrupted longer than

24 hours:

(a) Remove all frozen food and store in a

frozen food locker.

OR
(b) Place 32 grams of dry ice for every

liter of freezer space (2 lbs. of dry ice
for every cubic foot of freezer space).
This will keep food frozen for 2 to 4
days. Wear gloves to protect your
hands from dry ice burns.

Food Storage Guide

OR

(c) If neither a food locker or dry ice is

available, use or can perishable food
at once.

3. A full freezer will stay cold longer than a

partly filled one. A freezer full of meat will
stay cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If food contains ice crystals,
it may be safely refrozen, although the
quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor or if you feel
it is unsafe, dispose of it.

Storing fresh food..............

............... 21

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

Food placed in the refrigerator should be
wrapped or stored in air and moisture proof
material. This prevents food odor and taste

transfer throughout the refrigerator. For
dated products, check code date to ensure
freshness.

Leafy vegetables

Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off
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 their store container in a

crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper
bag on a refrigerator shelf.
