[LG refrigerator storage] I’m curious about how to store different foods.

Troubleshooting

Before storing anything in the refrigerator, remove foreign substances and soil, and seal items in plastic wrap or containers.

➔ Fresh foods such as meat, fish, and vegetables and packaged foods such as cans and bottles are often contaminated with foreign substances such as microorganisms or bacteria, and if you put them in as they are, they can contaminate other foods.

Store foods with a high moisture content, such as tofu and bean sprouts, at the front of the shelf.

Do not store vegetables wrapped in newspaper.

➔ Newspaper printing material or other foreign substances may transfer to food.

Store vegetables and fruits according to the storage standards related to temperature (recommended temperatures).

[10-15℃] Bananas, pineapples, grapefruit, melons, lemons, ginger, watermelon, etc.

Warning!

Do not store tropical fruits (bananas, pineapples, etc.).

Divide food into small quantities to store.

➔ Small quantities ensure that food cools quickly and effectively, saving money on electricity bills.

Foods such as onions, garlic, sweet potatoes, and peppers that need to be stored at low humidity will have a shorter shelf life if stored in the refrigerator.

➔ In such cases, storing those foods in airtight containers can reduce spoilage.

Even if frozen, store such foods for only 1 to 3 weeks.

➔ Do not refreeze completely thawed food.

Doing so may degrade the freshness, taste and quality of the food.

Cool hot foods before storing them.

➔ Failure to do so may spoil surrounding food and result in increased electricity costs.

Store ice cream or foods that can to be stored for a long time in a place other than the basket (bottle holder) in the bottom of the freezer.

➔ The optimal storage temperature for frozen desserts is -20℃ or below.
