Meats, fish and poultry purchased from the store

vary in quality and age; consequently, safe storage

times in your refrigerator will vary.

New techniques are constantly being developed.

Consult the College or County Extension Service or

your local Utility Company for the latest information

Fresh Food Storage Tips

To store unfrozen meats, fish and poultry:

o Always remove store wrappings°

o Rewrap in foil, film or wax paper and refrigerate

immediately.

To store cheese, wrap well with wax paper or

aluminum foil, or put in a plastic bag_

= Carefully wrap to expe! air and help prevent mold,

o Store pre-packaged cheese in its own wrapping if

you wish_

To store vegetables, use the vegetable drawers--

they've been designed to preserve the natural

moisture and freshness of produce.

o Covering vegetables with a moist towel helps

maintain crispness°

o As a further aid to freshness, pre-packaged

vegetables can be stored in their original wrapping°

To store ice cream--Fine-quality ice cream, with

high cream content, will normally require slightly

lower temperatures than more "airy" already-

packaged brands with low cream content_

• it will be necessary to experiment to determine the

freezer compartment location and temperature

control setting to keep your ice cream at the right

serving temperature°

o The rear of the freezer compartment is slightly

colder than the front.

Tips on freezing foods

There are three essential requirements for efficient

home freezing,

1. Initial quality. Freeze only top-quality foods.

Freezing retains quality and flavor; it cannot improve

quality.

2. Speed. The quicker fruits and vegetables are

frozen after picking, the better the frozen product

will be. You'll save time, too, with less culling and

sorting to doo

3. Proper packaging. Use food wraps designed

especially for freezing; they're readily available at

most food stores,
