Prevent Food from contaminating in your fridge!
Thanks to the fridge, the food remains impeccable and without bacteria for longer.
This invention revolutionized the food and the products that we keep in our houses. But since this appliance does not require much maintenance and keeps food at low temperatures, we sometimes fail to take care of it correctly, allowing the development of bacteria that contaminates food.
Tips to prevent food from contaminating
- Control at all times the temperature of the refrigerator to know that the food it contains is being conserved correctly. The ideal temperature is 39°F or 40°F for the food that we want to keep fresh, so we must change the temperature in winter and summer to compensate with the outside.
- It is necessary to respect each of the designated areas to use for its type of food, for example, eggs for eggs, shelves closest to the engine for meat and fish by the highest concentration of cold.
- Cleaning is essential, and therefore it is necessary that when putting food away do it in closed containers to prevent spillage, and the subsequent contamination of some foods with others. In the case of a spill, it is necessary to immediately clean everything that has fallen out, since leaving a dirty fridge is a considerable risk of bacteria and bad odors inside, causing the rest of the food to spoil.
- A refrigerator is not a freezer, so we can not leave a food for more than four days inside, as it will start to smell bad and contaminate other food around.
- The same happens with the fruits and vegetables that we accumulate many times in the drawers of the fridge and that start to mold. This will contaminate the rest and cause fungi that proliferate in the refrigerator.
- The food must never be crowded, as it is not advisable to overfill the refrigerator, as this will increase the internal temperature and worsen the preservation process.
- We must avoid introducing hot foods since it will increase the temperature of the refrigerator and with it the risk of bacterial proliferation.
