Red meat
Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed paper or
■ ■
plastic wrap or foil.
Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent any
■ ■
juices lost from the raw meat contaminating the cooked product.
Delicatessan meats should be used within the recommended storage time.
■ ■
Poultry
Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and out with cold running
■ ■
water. Dry and place on a plate. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil.
Poultry pieces should also be stored this way. Whole poultry should never
■ ■
be stuffed until just before cooking, otherwise food poisoning may result.
Cool and refrigerate cooked poultry quickly. Remove stuffing from
■ ■
poultry and store separately.
Fish and seafood
Whole fish and fillets should be used on the day of purchase. Until
■ ■
required, refrigerate on a plate loosely covered with plastic wrap, waxed
paper or foil.
If storing overnight or longer, take particular care to select very fresh
■ ■
fish. Whole fish should be rinsed in cold water to remove loose scales
and dirt and then patted dry with paper towels. Place whole fish or fillets
in a sealed plastic bag.
Keep shellfish chilled at all times. Use within 1 – 2 days.
■ ■
Precooked foods and leftovers
These should be stored in suitable covered containers so that the food
■ ■
will not dry out.
Keep for only 1 to 2 days.
■ ■
Reheat leftovers only once and until steaming hot.
■ ■
Fruit and vegetable bins
Although most fruit and vegetables keep best at low temperatures, take
■ ■
care not to store the following at temperature of less than 7°C for
long periods: citrus fruit, tropical fruit, tomatoes, cucumbers.
Undesirable changes will occur at low temperatures such as
■ ■
softening of the flesh, browning and/or accelerated decaying.
Do not refrigerate avocados (until they are ripe), bananas, mangoes
■ ■
or pepinos. If possible store fruit and vegetables separately. ie. fruit
in one bin and vegetables in the other.
