Food Storage
Food Storage
Food can be divided into four main groups:
• dry foods – flour, sugar, pasta, rice
• semi-perishable foods – potatoes, apples,
oranges, bread
• perishable foods – foods that go off easily and
should be kept in the fridge
• frozen foods – foods to be kept for a longer time
in the freezer.
Dry Foods
Store dry foods in a dry cupboard. Any
dampness would damage the food – it would
make the sugar stick together!
Always use the tinned food, pasta or rice that
you already have in the cupboard first – not
the new packet you have just bought. This
should stop out-of-date food gathering at the
back of the cupboard!
Semi-Perishable Food
These foods do not need to go
in the fridge. They include bread,
which we often store in a bread bin.
We can store root vegetables and most
fruits in a cool cupboard or rack.
Perishable Foods
(foods that go off easily)
These foods should be kept in the fridge:
• eggs, cheese, cooked ham or beef,
milk, yoghurt, raw meat, chicken and
fish.
Remember that:
• raw food should go on the bottom
shelves; and
• cooked foods should go on the upper
shelves.
Frozen Foods
• These should be kept in
the freezer at -18ºC.
• All frozen foods need to
be defrosted safely.
• Never refreeze frozen
foods.
