A well-stocked refrigerator is not only well-organized, pleasing to the eye, but also more convenient to take, and saves time in finding ingredients.
1) Separate packaging in a unified container
The thin plastic bags for vegetables in the vegetable market, put them in the refrigerator, and they will release toxic substances if they are stored for a long time. The shape of the ingredients is already uneven, and the use of various colorful plastic bags makes it even more chaotic. Therefore, after the ingredients are bought, they should be packaged by type in safe storage boxes as soon as possible. The storage box is best to choose the same series, the material is transparent, the shape is square, and it is easy to take (such as the one with a handle).
2) Vertical storage of vegetables
Do not wash the vegetables after they are bought. The vegetables will breathe carbon dioxide and water, and the moisture will breed bacteria and accelerate the decay of the food. Before putting vegetables in an airtight box, it is best to pad the box with a absorbent material that is absorbent and non-perishable, such as kitchen paper. If the vegetables are originally watery or muddy, they can be gently wiped off with kitchen paper to absorb the moisture before putting them in the box. If the conditions are met, the vegetables are best placed vertically to avoid squeezing.
3) Pack and store by ton
There is a must-have method for lazy people-to store according to the dishes. Each storage box contains the ingredients needed for a dish, and you can directly take a box when cooking. For example, ingredients such as noodles and meat can be put into sealed bags according to the amount required for each meal, and only one bag at a time can be taken out, which can avoid repeated thawing and avoid bacterial growth.
4) Label the food
For food in the freezer or drawer, long-tail tickets and labels can be used to indicate the type of good ingredients and the date of purchase or shelf life. Especially like the Cantonese people who like to make soup, there will always be a variety of dried seafood soup in the refrigerator, etc., and they look very similar. If you mark them in this way, all the ingredients will be clear at a glance.
