Where to keep food

The freezer - keep all types of food such as bread, fruit and vegetables, dairy and meat products for longer by freezing them as soon as you get home from the shops.

The fridge - keep food fresh by keeping it in the fridge and at the right temperature (1 - 5C). The accessories - use an airtight jar to keep dry foods such as pasta, rice, flour and sugar fresh. Airtight plastic boxes are great for storing everything from leftoversand grated cheese, to fruit and salad. Finally, invest in bag clips for sealing open packets.
