What are fridge rules?Show answer
Keep the fridge cold and not overfilled so cold air can circulate; cover all foods to prevent drying, cross-contamination and odour transfer; check the temperature; and rotate stock so older food is used first.
What is reheating?Show answer
Reheat food until piping hot, above throughout, and only once. This kills bacteria that grew during storage and avoids repeated trips through the danger zone.
