How to store raw and cooked meat in the fridge
HOW CAN I STORE MEAT IN THE FRIDGE?
While meat can be frozen for months, it's best to consume them immediately to savour them at their best, lest they get frozen burn. Freezer burn happens when frost buildup sucks up too much moisture from food, leaving it discoloured, shrivelled and bland tasting.
AEG refrigerators with NO FROST technology help to slow this down and prevent frost-damaged meats. Regardless, it's better not to test its limits of the expiry dates.

WHAT CONTAINERS TO USE FOR MEATS?
Store cooked meats in plastic wraps or containers with tight fitting lids. For raw meats, keep them in their store wrapping since replacing increase the risk of contaminating your kitchen. Double the seal by putting them in reusable silicon pouches or airtight plastic containers.
This further protects your meat from moisture and keep them fresher. It also prevents cross-contamination, spills and odours. Keep smells at bay in AEG refrigerators with cleanAir technology which uses a carbon filter to absorb odours and reduce smell transfer between food.
AT WHAT TEMPERATURE SHOULD I STORE MEAT IN?
The fridge temperature should be less than 5ºC , while the freezer should be below -15ºC - enough to inactivate bacteria, mould and yeasts. To precisely track and adjusts temperatures, AEG refrigerators have intuitive electronic touch controls that allow you to easily ensure food safety.
Temperatures is also affected when you frequently open the refrigerator. AEG refrigerators with cooling 360º distribute cold air evenly to stabilize temperature and humidity, protecting the food quality for longer.
CAN I REFREEZE MEAT?
Refreezing meat isn't recommended as it affects food safety and quality. Meat won't be as fresh because of excessive moisture loss when freezing it twice. Likewise, it can potentially causing food poisoning as meat is introduced to bacteria twice in the re-thawing process.
Avoid refreezing meat by only buying what you can finish in a week or two. Portion out just enough for one meal, or if possible, cook all the thawed meat and just freeze the cooked leftovers. These have a better chance of surviving.
Where should raw meat be stored in the fridge?
It's best to have a refrigerator that has a freezer compartment at the bottom or on the side, or to have an upright freezer. this ensures complete separation of raw and cooked meats to prevent contamination and reduces the risk of meat juices dripping over your food.
How to store fruit and vegetables in your fridge
WHAT FRUITS AND VEGETABLES SHOULD NOT BE STORED WITH EACH OTHER?
Fruits with high-ethylene gas content, like apples and pears, should not be stored with other produce like leafy greens. Ethylene gas is naturally emitted by some fruits, which causes other produce to ripen or spoil faster.
WHAT TEMPERATURES SHOULD FRUIT AND VEGETABLES BE KEPT IN?
As a rule of thumb, room temperature hastens ripening and spoilage, while high humidity in a refrigerator slows these down. AEG refrigerators, both fridge freezers and upright fridge, have a crisper drawer that maintains a high humidity level, so your fruits and vegetables are kept fresh for longer.
What containers should I use for fruits and vegetables?
Produce stored at room temperature thrive best with more circulation, so placing them in an open bowl will do. In contrast refrigerated ones should be placed in sealed bags to prevent them from wilting and to protect them from ethylene gas.
Conditions
Vegetables at room temperature
Potatoes and sweet potatoes
In an open container in a pantry for a dark, cool, humid environment. Light induces sprouting.
Garlicks and onions
In an open container on the countertop for a cool, dry environment. Moisture hastens spoilage. Refrigerate when cut.
Vegetables in the refrigerator
Citrus fruits (lemons limes, grapefruit, oranges
In an open container on the countertop to ripen. To keep longer, store in the crisper drawer, separate from high-ethylene producers.*
Stone fruits (peaches, mangoes
*except for grapefruits and oranges
Fruits in the refrigerator
High-ethylene fruits (apples, pears, kiwi, nectarines, plums)
In sealed plastic bags, separate from vegetables. Can be stored with non-ethylene-sensitive fruits like berries and oranges.
How to keep bread fresh
Freezing bread is one of the best ways to keep it fresh because it slows down the staling process and reduces the risk of mould for up to two to three months.
Simply put your bread in an airtight freezer bag. Reheat in your oven or toaster to revive its springiness and chewiness, no defrosting needed if you're in a hurry.
If you can't finish the whole loaf, cut it into slices before freezing and put wax paper in between for easy preparation of sandwiches or toasts. Don't refreeze bread.
Should you keep bread in the fridge?
Putting bread in the fridge is not recommended. In cool temperatures, starch molecules recrystallise quickly, which makes your bread stale and dry at a faster rate than if it is stored at room temperature. While it will still be safe to eat, it’s not worth settling for a stale flavour.
