Health care includes not only a sport, correct mode of work and rest, interesting leisure activities, but also proper nutrition. Thus it is necessary to pay attention to how food is stored. Because usually people do not go every day to the store, often bought for the whole week during weekends in the supermarkets or markets and stocked the fridge.

It is not sufficient just to put the products in the cold, it is very important what exactly they are stored. If you can keep food a certain food, and what — not:

Aluminium and cast iron

If we talk about the dishes, the food can not be stored in aluminum and cast iron cookware, but enameled. Aluminum cookware is not exposed to oxidation and iron can be rust. So in the fridge it is better not to.

Plastic bags

Fats, and that butter, margarine, cheese, bacon, sausage, should not be stored in plastic bags. Products there become humid and go mouldy, it is best suited for oil containers, foil, and cheese, and smoked products can be wrapped in parchment paper.

The expert adds that there are plastic bags, which are generally not designed for food storage, but only for some industrial products.

Plastic

Plastic containers are suitable for storing food in the refrigerator, if such containers do not have appropriate markings.

If food storage plastic containers are used, they must be designed specifically for food products. The containers are marked with special icons — there may be pictured glass or a fork with a spoon. It is necessary to pay attention to the labeling.

If plastic food storage container is chosen correctly, these containers keep food, because between the lid and the product is usually some space, and in this case it will be condensation. This means that the product will not mold and, ultimately, to mold.

Melamine

This cookware is similar to porcelain, but is actually a type of plastic. Despite the fact that melamine tableware looks very attractive and does not fight, it is very harmful. It is not suitable for food products, dishes of this material can perform only a decorative function.

Melamine is extremely dangerous to humans. Melamine tableware upon contact with water, hot food or acid, e.g., vinegar or mayonnaise begins to release formaldehyde and may even cause cancer.

Paper

If this is not parchment paper, it is better to abandon this idea of food storage.

Previously stored the food in the newspaper. Now probably not everyone does that. But just in case you need to know that it’s dangerous, so not recommended. In the ink of the newspaper is the lead. In paper bags, which are now often you can buy at the checkout instead of plastic to store food, but not for long. A paper bag can dry — it depends on what it is.

Wooden utensils

Tree — an environmentally friendly material, but during prolonged storage of products with a high liquid content, such dishes can swell and lose shape, and the fibers can start to flake off. If wooden ware has the painting, the paint particles can get into food.

What’s better to store food in the refrigerator

For food storage in the refrigerator suitable food wrap, foil (it is also suitable for storage of ready meals), parchment paper, vacuum packing.

If you have brought from the store the product in vacuum packaging, it is not necessary to take off if you are going to cook this product. Thus, it is important to isolate some of the products that neighbouring does not absorb odors.

From utensils to storage in the refrigerator is perfect glass container.

The best products are stored in a glass container. The only limitation is that it is easy to break. But it is the most “healthy” capacity for storage.
