Nobody likes throwing out products. But at times to do this is necessary – when we open a refrigerator and we find meal in a condition not so capable to tempt appetite. That it does not happen, it is necessary to remember that almost each dish requires special storage conditions.
Who from us does not wish to go in a month to shop, to hammer in a refrigerator under an outset and with taste to eat all reserved before next month? But realities are that even in the advanced refrigerators products often enough spoil, and without having waited the hour. The conveyor a refrigerator-garbage can work constantly. There are some ways to break off such prodigal and unnatural circulation of meal in the nature: to buy it is less, but more often to observe storage conditions and carefully to choose packing for each kind of products.
As it is known, the period of storage of products in a refrigerator is influenced by many factors. The main things from them are temperature and humidity. For different products the storage conditions are required. For example, the temperature of thawing of ice is preferable to fresh meat or fish – nearby 0 ° C. Dairy products and cheese is better remain at temperature 4-6 ° C, and gentle fruit and vegetables, for example cucumbers, do not take out temperature more low 8-10 ° C. Many modern refrigerators are capable to provide such conditions by means of especial operating modes.
But to forget about competent packing of products even in the presence of a good refrigerator it is not necessary.
Food wisdom:
Temptation to put in a refrigerator food in that plate in which it was prepared is great. But to do this is not necessary, especially if it is a question of fried meat in a pig-iron frying pan (pig-iron is subject to a rust) or the porridge welded in an aluminum pan (oxidation process even in a refrigerator goes promptly).
If to store food in pans, only in enameled or made of a stainless steel. However and here it is not out of place to observe a number corrected. So, if in a soup pan remains very little, that, in smaller, soup it is necessary to boil, cool its modulation and only then to put in a refrigerator. Otherwise your first dish will quickly deteriorate: after all the smaller capacity was not sterile. If the meal was stored in the enameled or glass pan, do not hasten to put at once from a refrigerator it on fire. The ware together with contents should be warmed to a room temperature. In this case care any more of meal, and about ware. Otherwise it can burst.
Milk and juice is recommended to be stored in original packing. That who prefers unbottled milk, it is necessary to know that to store it in plastic bottles it is undesirable. It is better to pour at once milk in glass container and in it to sterilize, having put a bottle in a pan with water and having boiled it.

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.
