Keeping Food At Its Best 17 subzero.com Keeping Food Fresh Your Sub-Zero unit features our unique dual compressor refrigeration system to keep food fresher longer. However, the quality and safety of your food also depends on how you handle it. The information in this section gives you the most up-todate handling and storage recommendations to help you keep food at its best.
Keeping Food At Its Best 18 Keeping Food Safe to Eat Most food-borne illness is caused by bacteria such as Staphylococcus, Salmonella, E-coli and Clostridium Botulinum (the bacteria that causes botulism). These bacteria grow rapidly at temperatures between 40°F (4°C) and 140°F (60°C), a range that’s called the Danger Zone. Never leave food in the danger zone for more than two hours. When the bacteria have multiplied to the millions in warm temperatures, they cause illness.
Keeping Food At Its Best 19 subzero.com Keeping Food Safe to Eat WHEN YOU PREPARE FOOD WHEN YOU COOK FOOD • Clean everything that comes in contact with food. • Cook meat to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) or above and poultry to 180°F (80°C) or above. For cuts more than two inches thick, use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. For thinner cuts, clear juices (not pink) are a sign of doneness. • Wash your hands for 20 seconds before and after handling food.
Keeping Food At Its Best 20 Fresh Food Storage Frozen Food Storage Shelf life of fresh foods varies depending on how fresh it is when you buy it. To keep your food fresher longer, follow the recommended storage tips. Freezer storage: Wrap foods in material designed for frozen food storage. The wrap must seal out air and moisture. Do not refreeze thawed meats. Vegetables: Wash vegetables in cool water and drain. Store in airtight containers or plastic wrap.
