Eat delicious and healthy food!
What should be the diet of adherents of a healthy lifestyle,
we have already told, today we will talk about how to properly store products
- the basis of future dishes.
The refrigerator is considered to be the ideal place to store most food. But few people know that in addition to the products placed in it, it can live malicious flora. Hygienists repeatedly conducted research, collecting material for analysis on the walls of the refrigerator from decent citizens. The results of the inspections were shocking!
It turns out that in the refrigerator can live whole colonies of potential enemies of man! These are mold, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, listeria and other pathogenic bacteria. They not only feel normal in the refrigerator, but even freely multiply in it, albeit a little slower than usual. The thing is, our refrigerators don't have the temperature that can kill them. This means that there is only one way to eat safely - to prevent the appearance of harmful flora.
Who lives in the fridge?
Proper food storage is a guarantee of a healthy and safe lunch. To your refrigerator was your friend, it should be carefully cared for and strictly adhere to the simple rules prescribed in the instructions to the device.
In addition, you should know and remember what bacteria can be found on common foods, and how to protect yourself from their mouths.
Mould most often appears in the refrigerator, which for a long time did not use or if the cooling device malfunctioned.
This attack often haunts the owners of summer houses and cottages. You can see it with the naked eye - colonies of pathogenic mushrooms of grayish color cover all the free space. Getting rid of mold is quite difficult. In ancient times, houses affected by it were even burned. But today such drastic measures are not needed. The stores sell special drugs that destroy mold. There are also homemade recipes that can help. For example, a solution of drinking soda (per glass of water a teaspoon of soda) or vinegar (in proportion water - vinegar - 1:1/2).
Listeria is a stick-shaped bacterium that actively reproduces in the dishes left after the holiday - salads, vinaigrettes, snacks, slicing.
If you spend the whole day on the dining table and then it was placed in the fridge, there is a high probability of meeting "uninvited guests" in it.
Intestinal stick can be found on everything that did not wash.
These are berries, vegetables and fruits placed in the refrigerator without first washing, as well as greens, meat, lard and many other products.
Staphylococcus strains can also be "dried" in the fridge.
They often become provocateurs of food poisoning. Getting into food, emit a dangerous substance - enterotoxins.
Salmonella can be in the fridge along with a dozen eggs or meat products.
If you purchased chicken and, without washed it, put in the refrigerator on the shelf, the unsatissed chicken juice can get to other foods. It is especially dangerous if salmonella falls on products that do not require before the use of thermal treatment - for example, dairy products, sausage, desserts.
Important!
Get rid of pathogenic flora in the refrigerator can be prepared soap solution from ordinary household soap or special means designed to clean and disinfect the refrigerator.
What should be stored in food?
Ideally, all products should be stored from each other at a short distance, kept in individual packaging or placed in a separate, designed for them department of refrigerator. For example, fresh vegetables and fruits should be placed in special containers, which are located at the bottom of the refrigerator. For eggs there is a compartment on the door of the refrigerator or a small container in its top.
Important!
Cooked dishes, as well as those that will be eaten without thermal treatment, store separately from raw, fresh food. Otherwise, the pathogenic flora can disrupt your plans and contribute to poor health.
The packaging in which you plan to store food is essential for preserving the qualities and benefits of food. Some products are better immediately after purchase to pour / pour into other containers, others - to leave as is.

These are very convenient storage containers for many products. Usually manufacturers produce fresh meat and fish, sausage, cheese and other types of slicing, semi-finished products and even ready meals in such containers. If the packaging is not damaged, leave the products in it before use. They will retain their useful qualities and vitamin composition.
Important!
You can heat food in plastic trays only if the packaging is marked accordingly. The fact is that some types of plastic, safe at room temperature, in the microwave can emit toxic substances, thereby poisoning food.
On the shelves: how to place food in the refrigerator?
In specialty stores there are different models of refrigerators. These can be convenient and time-tested single-camera options or more advanced two- and even three-camera refrigerators. The correct location of the products on their shelves depends on where the freezer is located.
The closer the shelf is to the freezer, the colder it is. Thus, in single-chamber models the coldest is the upper shelf, and in two-chamber - the bottom. In order not to make a mistake and properly place the products in the bowels of the "big friend", carefully read the instructions. Many manufacturers give them a scheme of proper food storage.
To make the products from the refrigerator always fresh, you need to properly place them on the shelves and take into account the shelf life. This is important not only because you can be poisoned with stale sausage. Because of the spoiled food can begin to deteriorate earlier and those stocks of food that lie nearby. And some products absorb foreign smells, for example, oil very quickly begins to "smell the refrigerator". Pay attention to expiration dates as well - it's not the same as the shelf life.
Vegetables and fruits should be separated, for them are designed two containers at the bottom of the refrigeration chamber. Ideally, if they are wrapped in paper or lie on a special moisture-absorbing towel. This will remove excess moisture, preventing the products from rotting.
Over vegetables place raw meat, fish and seafood. They should be stored in tight bags or containers, so that nothing leaks. The shelf life in the refrigerator of chilled meat and poultry - 2 days, minced meat and by-products - 1 day.
Dairy products, cheeses, yoghurts and eggs are usually laid out at the top. Under them are ready meals, meat and sausage products. Cooked dishes should first cool, and then keep tightly closed. It is convenient to use plastic or glass containers. They have been stored for three days. Seasoned salads keep fresh for up to 12 hours, and the taste of the dessert will not spoil until 18 hours.
Due to the constant temperature difference in the refrigerator door it can be used for short-term storage: drinks, sauces, greens, drinks. And if you put the greens in a glass of water, it will last about a week, and will not lose more than 8% ascorbic acid.
