Why You Keep Refrigerating Food All Wrong

Are you sick of your food going bad before you even get a chance to eat it? You're not alone. Millions of people make the same mistake every day: they refrigerate their food incorrectly.

I know what you're thinking: "Refrigerating food is simple. You just put it in the fridge." But there's more to it than that. If you want your food to stay fresh for as long as possible, you need to follow these simple tips.

1. Don't overcrowd the fridge.

• When the fridge is overcrowded, the air can't circulate properly. This can cause food to spoil faster.
• Leave some space between items so that the air can move around.

2. Store food in the right place.

• The coldest part of the fridge is the back. This is where you should store items that need to be kept coldest, such as meat, fish, and dairy products.
• The door of the fridge is the warmest part. This is where you should store items that don't need to be kept as cold, such as fruit, vegetables, and leftovers.


3. Wrap food properly.


• Air can cause food to spoil faster. Wrapping food properly can help to keep the air out and keep food fresh.
• Use airtight containers, plastic wrap, or aluminum foil to wrap food.


4. Don't keep food in the fridge for too long.


• Even if you store food properly, it will eventually go bad. This is because bacteria can grow in the fridge, even at cold temperatures.
• Most food should be eaten within a few days of being refrigerated.


5. Thaw food in the fridge.


• If you need to thaw food, do it in the fridge. This is the safest way to thaw food because it prevents bacteria from growing.
• Never thaw food at room temperature.


By following these simple tips, you can keep your food fresh for longer. This will save you money and help you to eat healthier.

Bonus tip: If you're not sure whether or not food has gone bad, throw it out. It's better to be safe than sorry.
