The two-day-old apple inside the refrigerator actually rotted...
The lettuce that was put in the fridge yesterday has already begun to lick...
When I open the refrigerator, I always smell a rancid smell...
We must have encountered similar situations in our lives. I feel that there is a problem with the refrigeration and preservation of the refrigerator. In fact, many times, the effect of the preservation of the ingredients is not a problem in the refrigerator itself, but your 'open method' is wrong. , How can we use refrigerators to keep food fresh and reasonable? Today, the author came to chat with everyone about this issue!
Not all ingredients can be stored in the refrigerator
This point must be understood by everyone. Not all foods and ingredients are suitable for refrigerators. Tropical fruits such as bananas, mangoes, lychees, etc., themselves are not tolerant of low temperatures, but they will be 'frozen' in the refrigerator and appear dark brown. The spots, skin folds and depressions, not only lose nutrition but also more easily deteriorate.
Another example is that potatoes, green peppers and other root vegetables are prone to become dark and soft in the refrigerator for long periods of time, leading to nutrient loss and severely affecting the taste. In fact, such foods are more suitable for storage in dark places. There are chocolate, coffee, ham, bread baking, etc. These foods are actually not suitable for storing in the refrigerator.
Ingredients in the refrigerator should not be too full
Although the capacity of refrigerators is getting larger and larger, it is still not enough time. For example, during holidays, or in order to catch up with supermarket promotions, many of my friends will buy back a lot of food items at once, and the refrigerator will be stuffed in full. The author's suggestion: Do not overfill the ingredients in the refrigerator, keep the load more than 80%.
This is because: First, if too much food is filled in the refrigerator, it will inevitably cause the refrigerator to run for a long time and may cause some damage to the compressor. Secondly, a large amount of normal-temperature food ingredients will enter the refrigerator, which is bound to cause internal environment. The temperature fluctuates sharply. Excessive foodstuffs accumulate heat and the refrigerator is overloaded and the temperature control is not balanced. This will accelerate the spoilage of the ingredients. Therefore, the ingredients in the refrigerator should not be filled too full!
Different types of ingredients are stored in sections
In fact, from a functional point of view, the functions of refrigerators and wardrobes are basically similar. However, when people use wardrobes, they will certainly classify different types of clothing and store them zonally, and they will buy various goods from supermarkets. Vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, milk, etc. are all piled up in the refrigerator. This is actually unreasonable! If the food is stored in the wrong place, it will not only achieve the effect of fresh preservation, but will accelerate the deterioration process.
Different kinds of ingredients are stored as much as possible
The current refrigerators generally have three temperature zones: cold rooms, freezer rooms and changing greenhouses (two refrigerators and some side-by-side refrigerators may not be available).
The temperature of the cold room is generally 5°C; the temperature of the freezer is -18°C or lower, most bacteria will be inhibited or killed, so the foods stored here have a longer shelf life; The temperature is adjusted to make it into a freezer or freezer to expand the space, or it can be set to a specific temperature to store special ingredients.
There is a freezer on the left side of the refrigerator and a freezer on the right
The glass shelf of the refrigerator freezer is suitable for placing individually packaged foods or articles such as milk, canned food, watermelon, biscuits, etc. The fresh-keeping drawer is suitable for storing all kinds of leafy vegetables and has a certain degree of tightness and can effectively lock the leafy vegetables. Water is not lost, keep it fresh and moist; door racks are more suitable for storing drinks, juices, beverages, etc.
Refrigerator freezer is suitable for storing fish, meat, seafood, dumplings, ice cream, quick-frozen dumplings and other foods. The freezer is generally equipped with multiple drawers. Different types of ingredients are placed as far apart as possible to avoid odor disturbance.
Adjustable temperature range for more convenient use
The greenhouse can be adjusted according to its own needs. For example: The temperature is set to 5°C, it becomes a cold room, and it can expand more cold storage space; if it is set to -18°C, additional freezer storage space can be added; Set to 0°C, used to store meats, fish, etc. that will be eaten in the near future. Easy to cut and process.
Fill foods with sealed bags and keep them fresh
Refrigerator refrigerators are generally equipped with two fresh-keeping drawers. If there are more fruits and vegetables and drawers are not enough, direct placement on the glass shelves can lead to air drying and affect the taste. In fact, it is better to use seals. Bag or crisper, put the ingredients into the crisper first, and then put it into the refrigerator for storage. Because of the tightness of the crisper and isolation of the air, better moisturizing and preservation effects can be achieved.
