Food Storage

Disposable packing:

The most popular way of storage of products is polyethylene packages. However, not any polyethylene suits this purpose. Some kinds of this widespread polymer can allocate, though and in very small doses, toxic substances. Therefore polyethylene should be food.

It is necessary to remember: in the polyethylene intended for packing not grocery products.

But polyethylene packages in which the provisions are on sale, it is possible to use bravely: epicures and grocery shops are obliged to have on them the hygienic certificate of safety. So theoretically in packing packages that lie at cash desks in supermarkets, it is possible to turn safely both sausage, and herring slices.

Council to especially cautious citizens – to buy special packing packages with the mark on packing: «for foodstuff». And for meal which demands special storage conditions (fragrant fish and smoked products), or, on the contrary, cheeses easily absorbing smells it is possible to use packages with a fastener zip-lock. The blessing such packages are issued the various sizes – from 3 ? 4 centimeters to 60 ? 60 see

The food polyethylene film can be worthy replacement to a package. It is on sale rolls in packing with cutting edge that it was easily possible to cut off a piece of the necessary length. This film very thin and soft, it fits tightly a product and creates tight packing. But it is not necessary to wrap fat products in polyethylene packages and a film: oil, fat, sausage products, cheese.

For meal storage also the food aluminium foil which is on sale in any household shop well approaches. It possesses unsurpassed protective properties, is not toxic, does not transfer to products of any foreign smell or smack, does not pass water and other liquids, does not absorb fat and vegetable oils (polyethylene more not tight material).

If to put in foil hot products, it becomes fragile. Therefore the food preliminary should cool down. It is natural that each package, a film and foil piece can be used only once.

Good stuff for storage of foodstuff the pergament paper is considered.

On the one hand, it passes air and gives the chance to products to breathe, with another – possesses fat- and moisture resistance. In a paper dairy production, for example a butter which in wrong packing quickly loses freshness well remains and is sated with extraneous “aromas”. In a refrigerator it is possible to store confectionery products or the ready dishes bought in cafe, the same hen in paper packages a grill.

In parchment fat will not get unpleasant smack, and smoked fish will not become covered by a mould as quickly as it will occur at packing in polyethylene. Also in a paper it is possible to wrap sausage.
