IN THE FRIDGE
General Preservation tips
If you have food leftover, first let it cool down. Once cool, place it in the fridge immediately and no later than 2 hours after. In summer months, this period is limited to a maximum of one hour.
Do not consume food that was cooked more than 3 days before. In the case of rice, the maximum period that it can stay in the fridge is 1 day.
Do not store canned food inside their container. Transfer to an airtight glass or plastic container.
If making cold dishes that will not be consumed immediately, cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and put in the fridge.
Do not store potatoes in the fridge, as this can result in a chemical alteration while cooking them. Keep them in a cool and dry place.
Raw meat and poultry
Store everything separately on the lower shelf of the fridge and wrapped in cling film or placed in closed containers to prevent drips on other foods.
Protect other foods (cheese, fruit, vegetables) from any leaks and odours. Wrap them in cling film or put them inside food bags. If possible, note the store date for better planning and monitoring.
Always remember that raw meat must be kept away from cooked meat.
