When You Store Food
Make sure to set the refrigerator temperature to 40 °F and the freezer to 0 °F. Check these temperatures with an
appliance thermometer.
Refrigerate or freeze perishables, prepared foods, and leftovers within 2 hours of shopping or preparing. Place raw meat,
poultry, and seafood in containers in the refrigerator, to prevent their juices from dripping on other foods. Raw juices may
contain harmful bacteria.

Food Safety
|
Thaw foods in the refrigerator or the microwave oven, or put the package in a water-tight plastic bag
submerged in cold water and changing the water every 30 minutes. Gradual defrosting overnight in the refrigerator is best
because it helps maintain quality.
When microwaving, follow package directions. Leave about 2 inches (about 5 centimeters) between the food and
the inside surface of the microwave to allow heat to circulate. Smaller items will defrost more evenly than larger pieces of
food. Foods defrosted in the microwave oven should be cooked immediately after thawing.
Do not thaw meat, poultry and fish products on the counter or in the sink without cold water; bacteria can
multiply rapidly at room temperature.
Also, marinate food in the refrigerator, not on the counter. Discard the marinade after use because it
contains raw juices, which may harbor bacteria. If you want to use the marinade as a dip or sauce, reserve a portion before
adding raw food.
