Food Storage
Put meat and poultry in the freezer and/or refrigerator the minute you get home from the grocery store. If you have a long drive, take a cooler and ice packs to keep stuff cool. |

Label your leftovers so that you know how long something has been in there. This will also help you to keep your refrigerator cleaned out because you will know when something has been in for too long.

Make sure your storage containers are air tight. On some food items air will damage the product. Also if the containers are air tight, this will prevent things like water, mice and insects from getting in.

When stocking up your pantry make sure you have plenty of the basics – sugar, rice, powered milk, etc. But also make sure you have enough variety. No-one likes eating the same thing over and over and over again.

If you are filling a pantry for emergency preparedness make sure you are filling it with things you have the ability to cook in an emergency. Keep in mind that you might not have electricity or the ability to heat your food.

Make sure that someone in your family eats the food you are storing. There is no point buying and storing something if no-one is going to eat it.

WHAT TO STORE IN THE FRIDGE DOOR: Good for jarred salsa, tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, salad dressings and other condiments that can handle a higher temperature without going bad. Not good for milk, cheese or cold cuts, which need a lower temperature. Don’t store eggs in the fridge door, even if there is a place for them there – they’ll last up to 5 weeks if you store them in the back of the fridge.

And be SURE to have a working MANUAL can opener. While more and more products have easy-open zip-top cans, not all of them do!
