August 17, 2007, Newsletter Issue #67: Culinary Arts: Food Storage Tips

Tip of the Week

A course in classic culinary arts will introduce you to food storage. You can get a step ahead of the classic culinary arts course with these tips on food storage.

• Don't store potatoes and onions under the sink. Pipes can leak onto the potatoes and onions, and this will damage and ruin the food.

• Do not use or purchase canned goods that are sticky on the outside. This is a sign of a leak.

• When storing food in the refrigerator, the temperature of the refrigerator should be 36 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Use older products before opening newer products.

• Using a permanent marker, write the date of the contents you store -- after three days the contents should be thrown out.

• Food should not sit out longer than two hours.
