2. Freezer Storage
Freezer storage is excellent for use in food preservation for long periods. It helps to store foods that would not last long in a refrigerator. There are two methods to keep your food fresh and preserved: freezer storage and supercooling. Frozen foods have a very slow turnover rate, and must be stored at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. The other method is called supercooling the food. By supercooling, you remove the freezing element from the foods so that they freeze more rapidly and keep a lower temperature longer. This reduces the chances of spoilage.

Food Storage Tips
There are numerous food storage tips that you can use to keep your food fresh and safe. Here are some tips that we’ve compiled.
1. Use Plastic Freezer Bags, Not Glass
Freezer bags are a much better way to store items in the freezer, as opposed to storing them in glass containers. Slow freezing and shifting temperatures can cause the glass to crack under extreme conditions. If you choose to use glass in your freezer, make sure it is tempered glass or thicker.

2. Use an Ice Cube Tray for Chopped Veggies
Instead of chopping vegetables and storing them in plastic bags, eventually turning them into mush, try using an ice cube tray for chopping vegetables. Place chopped vegetables in the ice cube tray and cover with water. Then place the tray in the freezer overnight. Pull out the tray and place it in a bowl of cool water when you want to use a portion of the veggies or all of it. Try tossing them into your favorite soup recipe.

3. Clean Fresh Produce Before Storage
Clean your fresh produce before storing it. If you’re planning to store fresh fruit in the fridge without any other foods, ensure the product is completely clean and dry. Then place it in an airtight container. The best food storage containers are glass or plastic containers that can be sealed with a lid. Airtight plastic containers are great for storing perishable foods.
4. Store Poultry, Fish, or Raw Meat Correctly
You must follow some basic rules to store poultry, fish, and raw meat properly. First of all, you need to make sure that the meat is cooked thoroughly before it’s stored. It would help if you also stored it in an airtight container to prevent contamination.
Storing raw meat in the refrigerator or freezer is the best way to keep it. The temperature must be below zero degrees Fahrenheit to remain fresh. You should freeze raw meat immediately after purchasing it so that it doesn’t spoil.
5. Keep the Foods Separate
If you’re storing your perishable food in the fridge, you might be inclined to mix it all. While it may seem like a good way to save space, keep different foods separate. For example, keep fruit and vegetables separate from meat and fish. You should also separate cooked food from raw food to avoid cross contamination.
6. Set the Fridge Temperatures Correctly
When setting the temperature in your refrigerator, you must ensure that it’s set at a reasonable temperature. It should be between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit. For example, if you leave a bowl of water in the fridge overnight and it freezes, your fridge is too low. If the water isn’t cooling, then your fridge is too high.
