correct storage

What are the Basic Principles of Food Storage?

1. Temperature Control: Keep perishable foods at the right temperature. Refrigerators should be set at or below 40°F (4°C) and freezers at 0°F (-18°C). Use a thermometer to monitor these temperatures.
2. Humidity Levels: Certain foods like vegetables and fruits need specific humidity levels. Use the crisper drawers in your refrigerator to control humidity.
3. Storage Containers: Use airtight containers to store food. This prevents contamination and retains moisture.
4. Rotation: Practice the FIFO (First In, First Out) method. Consume older items first and place newer ones at the back.
