Storage & tools

  • Refrigerate perishable foods within 2 hours (1 hour if above 32 °C / 90 °F).
  • Keep the refrigerator at or below 4 °C (40 °F); cold chain reduces mass loss.
  • Cool hot foods in shallow containers so they chill quickly without condensation.
  • Use an appliance thermometer to verify fridge and freezer temperatures.

Keep potable and covered; avoid long stagnation for flavor and safety.
