9 Food Preservation 9.1 General directions Your Fhiaba is designed to ensure precise, constant temperatures and appropriate humidity levels in all compartments. In addition, the double refrigeration ensures that frozen foods and ice do not absorb the odor of fresh foods and that the humidity in the refrigerator does not freeze and build up frost. Nevertheless, to properly preserve all of your foods, it is not enough to have an excellent refrigerator.
Food Preservation How to maintain good food quality 9 9.3 When buying groceries Always take the following precautions: Place any packages of raw meat, fish or poultry in plastic bags so that they do not drip on other foods. Purchase meat, poultry and fish last. Do not leave your groceries in a warm car after shopping. Keep a freezer bag in your car and use it in case of very high temperatures or long trips. Check the production dates and “best before” times on foods to be sure that they are fresh.
9 Food Preservation When cooking food Do not taste raw or partially cooked meat, poultry, fish and eggs. Cook meat at a temperature of 75°C (167°F) or higher. For cuts of meat over 5 cm, use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. For thinner cuts of meat, to check if it is cooked, check the color of the juice and whether it is clear or pink. If you are cooking meat which is not yet defrosted, increase the cooking time one and half times the normal duration.
Vegetables Fruit Packaged meat Food Preservation 9 Recommendations for preserving fresh food 9.4 Wash vegetables in cold water and dry well. Place vegetables in vacuum packed containers, plastic containers or vegetable bags in a Fresco Drawer. Wash and dry fresh fruit. Pack very aromatic fruit in plastic bags. Fruit should be placed in the high humidity Fresco compartment. Place in the refrigerator in its original packaging. After opening, wrap the remaining food in plastic bags or aluminum foil.
