[Food Refrigeration]Do you know what to pay attention to when storing food in the refrigerator?
Precautions for refrigerating food
1. Store fresh and cooked food separately. Avoid cross-infection of raw and cooked food microorganisms; do not store raw and cooked food together for convenience; use sealed fresh-keeping containers for separate processing; use sealed fresh-keeping boxes or fresh-keeping bags to wrap ingredients to prevent cross-contamination of microorganisms; prevent other foods not only in plastic bags or rubber bands; the seal will not come into contact with the air, so it is not easy to oxidize, and the food is less likely to spoil.
2. The product should not be overfilled. The commercial freezer should not be overcrowded, and it is better to leave a certain gap, so that the air in the commercial freezer can be convection normally, so as to reduce the load of the unit. When there is too much food or food stored in the freezer box, shelves and partitions should be used to store them separately to avoid stacking and storage of items.
3. Refuse hot food. Some people like to put the cooked food just out of the pot into the commercial freezer to cool immediately, but if these overheated foods are put into the running freezer as soon as possible, it is likely to shorten the service life of the freezer.
4. Foods that are stored for a short period of time should be stored in a covered container first, and then put into the freezer together with the container for refrigeration. Foods and foods that have been stored for a long time should be packaged with food plastic wrap or non-toxic plastic bags and then placed in the freezer for refrigerated storage.
