De beste manier om voedsel te bewaren

Moins de gaspillage alimentaire

Plus frais et plus savoureux plus longtemps : comment conserver les aliments.

Après avoir planifié vos achats, prendre le temps de stocker correctement vos aliments est décisif pour en préserver la fraîcheur. En triant vos achats une fois rentré chez vous, vous conserverez plus longtemps la fraîcheur de vos fruits et légumes, produits laitiers, pain, pâtes et viande. Certains aliments doivent être réfrigérés, tandis que d'autres doivent simplement être conservés à température ambiante. Nous avons rassemblé quelques conseils pour vous indiquer quand et comment conserver les aliments afin que tout reste frais le plus longtemps possible.

Pourquoi les aliments se gâtent-ils ?

Qu'ils soient chauds ou froids, humides ou secs, tous les aliments n'aiment pas les mêmes conditions. S'ils sont mal conservés, les aliments perdent leur saveur et se gâtent plus rapidement. Cela est dû aux influences et changements physiques, biochimiques, chimiques et microbiens auxquels les produits sont exposés. Les aliments peuvent également être endommagés par les parasites et la vermine.

L'altération microbienne est causée par des bactéries, des moisissures et des levures. Elles provoquent la pourriture, la fermentation ou le développement de moisissures dans les aliments et, parfois, le développement de substances pathogènes en conséquence. Ces processus, ainsi que la durée de conservation des aliments, sont principalement influencés par des conditions physiques telles que la chaleur, le froid et l'humidité.

En outre, les enzymes présents dans les aliments déclenchent des modifications biochimiques, telles que la dégradation des vitamines, des pigments et des arômes. Des facteurs externes tels que la lumière et l'air peuvent accélérer ce processus.

Hygiene, refrigeration and storage: It all starts with shopping.

Before you get your shopping home and start to put it all away in the right place, making sure that everything is suitably hygienic and chilled starts in the supermarket. Key points to remember:

Check that all packaging is intact.
Make sure that chilled foods are kept cool, such as with reusable cool bags, to prevent germs from multiplying when produce gets warm.
Only put frozen and perishable products in your trolley at the end of your shop, just before heading to the checkout. Speaking of the checkout, soft and delicate produce such as eggs, bananas and grapes should be the last things you place on the conveyor belt. This means they will be at the top of your bag and will not get crushed by heavier items.
After finishing your shop and before sorting out your purchases at home, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly to prevent the spread of bacteria and germs.
Keep storage areas such as shelves, pantries and your fridge clean and wipe them down regularly. The best way is to use warm water with a little detergent. Adding a dash of vinegar essence can prevent mould.

Etenswaren op de juiste manier invriezen

Als je voedsel lange tijd wilt bewaren, kun je dat het beste in de vriezer of het vriesvak van je koelkast leggen. Door de lage temperatuur en de verminderde wateractiviteit wordt de groei van micro-organismen aanzienlijk verminderd of zelfs helemaal voorkomen. Zorg echter dat groente en fruit eerst schoon, gewassen en geblancheerd zijn voor je ze invriest. Maak bij voorkeur kleine porties en zorg dat er zo min mogelijk lucht in de verpakking achterblijft. Om het overzicht te bewaren, is het verstandig om de verpakking te voorzien van een label waar je op zet wat erin zit en wat de invriesdatum is. Ingevroren voedsel is echter niet onbeperkt houdbaar. Groente en fruit blijft 11 tot 15 maanden goed, vis en vlees 6 tot 9 maanden en rundvlees en gevogelte zijn 9 tot 12 maanden houdbaar in de diepvries.

Eerst invriezen, later genieten

Maak van ingevroren fruit overheerlijke smoothies of smoothiebowls. Bekijk onze recepten om te zien hoe je dat doet.

Etenswaren op de juiste manier in de koelkast bewaren

De meeste versproducten gaan bij thuiskomst meteen de koelkast in. Dankzij de lage temperatuur van 4 tot 8 °C in de koelkast blijven bederfelijke producten langer vers. De lage temperatuur vertraagt immers de stofwisseling in voedsel, voorkomt de groei van micro-organismen en gaat chemisch en enzymatisch bederf tegen. Aan de hand van het 'fifo'-principe (first in, first out) kun je makkelijk bijhouden wat vers is en wat niet. Met andere woorden: zet verse etenswaren achteraan neer en schuif oudere etenswaren naar voren.

Hogyan kell megfelelően bepakolni a hűtőszekrényt?

A hűtők különböző hőmérsékleti zónákkal rendelkeznek. Ezért, hogy a hűtőszekrényben lévő élelmiszerek a lehető leghosszabb ideig frissek maradjanak, helyezze őket a megfelelő polcra. Hűtővel kapcsolatos tippjeinkben pontosan elmondjuk, hogy mi hová való.

Hűtőajtó

Mi való a hűtőajtóba

A hűtőszekrény ajtaja az egyik legmelegebb terület a hűtőszekrényben. A hőmérséklet itt általában 8 és 10 °C között van. Készen vásárolt szószok, gyümölcslé, italok, öntetek, tej, vaj és tojás tárolására alkalmas

Crisper drawer

What belongs in the crisper drawer

The clue’s in the name: the crisper drawer keeps fresh produce crisp. Crisper drawers are separated from the rest of the fridge, usually by a glass pane, which keeps the temperature at around 9 °C. This is perfect for storing vegetables, salad and various types of fruit. Remember: Produce that is sensitive to cold, such as exotic fruits and vegetables with a high water content, do not belong in the fridge at all.

Bottom shelf

What belongs on the bottom shelf

The temperature of the bottom shelf, just above the crisper drawer, is no higher than 2 to 3 °C. You should store easily perishable food on this shelf, such as meat, fish, poultry and deli salads.

Middle shelf

What belongs on the middle shelf

The middle shelf is usually about 5 °C, making it ideal for dairy products like yoghurt, milk, quark and cream. It’s also the perfect place for cheese and sausages.

Scaffale in alto

Cosa mettere nello scaffale in alto

Lo scaffale in alto di un frigo è relativamente caldo. La temperatura, qui, è di solito attorno agli 8 e i 10 °C. A questa temperatura mite, puoi conservare burro e marmellate. Anche degli avanzi che intendi mangiare a breve possono essere conservati qui, dato che quest'area del frigo è perfetta per preservare il sapore.

Storing foods at room temperature in the cupboard or pantry

Pasta, rice, canned goods and the like don’t benefit from being stored in the fridge. Instead, it’s fine to store them in a cupboard at an average of 15 to 20 °C. It’s important that food is not exposed to direct sunlight or warmth, e.g. by being kept near a hob or oven. High temperatures and moist air generated when cooking have a negative impact on the storage life of even long-life products. When tidying your cupboards or pantry, remember: put new products at the back and bring older food to the front so that it gets used first. Once you open a packet, seal it securely or transfer the contents to a sealed container. Just like when freezing food, make sure to label containers with dates – so you don’t forget what’s inside.

Storing products in the right place: What food belongs where

Whether warm or cold, moist or dry, not all foods like the same conditions. If stored incorrectly, food will lose its flavour and spoil more quickly. Let’s look at the best place to store different foods so that they stay fresh for longer.

Brood & gebakken producten

Brood langer vers houden

Brood houd je vers door te voorkomen dat het uitdroogt, bijvoorbeeld door het in een broodtrommel of keramische pot te bewaren. Veel mensen bewaren brood in een plastic zak. Nadeel daarvan is dat vers brood van de bakker heel snel zacht wordt omdat het dan luchtdicht verpakt is. Gebakken producten die je snel wilt gebruiken, kun je daarom het beste niet luchtdicht verpakt bewaren, bijvoorbeeld in de verpakking van de bakker.
Uitdroging is echter niet het enige waardoor brood kan bederven. Als de omgeving te vochtig is en de lucht niet kan circuleren, kan vocht zich ophopen waardoor er schimmelgroei ontstaat, vooral bij gesneden brood. Ook kruimels in een broodtrommel kunnen schimmel veroorzaken. Verwijder om de paar dagen broodkruimels en neem de broodtrommel af met verdunde azijn. Bij warm, vochtig weer kun je brood indien nodig ook in de koelkast bewaren. Dit voorkomt schimmelgroei, met name bij witbrood. Als je twijfelt, kun je brood en broodjes altijd invriezen. Laat ze dan wel eerst op kamertemperatuur komen, nadat je ze uit de vriezer hebt gehaald.

Fruit & vegetables

Apples, carrots, salad etc.: What belongs in the fridge and what doesn’t

Almost all vegetables can be stored in the fridge. Aubergines, tomatoes, potatoes and pumpkins are the only ones you shouldn’t keep cold. Fruit is a little more complicated. Some types of fruit only stay fresh and retain their vitamins when chilled. Others, however, are very sensitive to the cold. As a rule of thumb, you should chill indigenous fruits like apples, cherries and plums. Exotic fruits like mangos, bananas and citrus fruits don’t belong in the fridge. Exceptions to this rule are figs and kiwis, which are quite at home in your crisper drawer.

Over time, some fruits and vegetables develop a ripening gas called ethylene. This causes other fruit and vegetables nearby to age and spoil more quickly. The highest ethylene producers include apples, apricots, plums and tomatoes. For this reason, it’s best to keep them separate.

Dairy products

Yoghurt, butter and milk: How to keep dairy products fresh

Yoghurt, milk and butter should make their way from the supermarket to your fridge at home as soon as possible. Ideally, you should keep them well sealed and in their original packaging: Put butter on the top shelf of the fridge door, and keep yoghurt and milk in the middle of the fridge.

UHT milk only needs to go in the fridge once opened; it can keep at room temperature for several weeks beforehand. You should consume raw milk straight from the farm within 2 to 3 days at most. Pasteurised fresh milk often stays fresh for up to a week when kept sealed and for 2 to 3 days when opened. Due to its high fat content, you can freeze butter before defrosting it in the fridge door when you need it.

Cheese

Cheese is best stored well-ventilated and moist, but cream cheese likes it cool

With the exception of cream cheese, all types of cheese need to be able to breathe and so shouldn’t be kept in an airtight container. It’s best to keep pre-packaged cheese in its original packaging, in special cheese paper or sandwich paper, or in cheese preservers. This stops them from passing on their aroma and prevents edible mould from forming on hard cheese. Another option is cling film, but you should never use airtight plastic containers. Cheese is happiest on the middle shelf of the fridge. Cream cheese, however, should be stored in a much cooler area – on the bottom shelf of the fridge. Wedges of cheese can last up to three weeks in the fridge. Packaged sliced cheese and cream cheese soon dry out once opened and lose their flavour, so it’s best to eat them within a week of opening.

Pasta

The best way to store pasta, spaetzle and gnocchi

You can store dried pasta for up to a year. It’s important to store it at room temperature and keep it dry and well sealed. Why? Well, like other dried goods – such as flour, muesli and tea – dried pasta is particularly susceptible to pests, such as food moths.

Fresh dough-based products like pasta, spaetzle and gnocchi are extremely susceptible to germs. When well chilled, they will keep in the fridge for three or four days. Proper food preparation is a key factor in ensuring that food stays fresh for as long as possible. Simply make sure to cook pasta only until it is al dente – firm to the bite. Spätzle and gnocchi are ready as soon as they start to float to the surface. You can keep leftover pasta on the top shelf of the fridge, where it will stay fresh for one or two days. It’s best to keep cooked pasta in sealed containers so that it doesn’t become hard.

Meat

Things to remember when storing meat

Meat, poultry and sausages are foods that spoil very quickly. If at all possible, you should avoid breaking the cold chain or only do so for a very short time. The best way is to take a cool bag with you to the supermarket. At home, place meat on the bottom shelf of the fridge straight away, as this is the coolest part of the fridge.

If you buy meat in plastic packaging, you should replace this before putting it in the fridge. Remove the meat from the packaging, dab it dry with kitchen paper, wrap it in baking paper and place it in an airtight container to protect against germs. Beef can be stored for 3 to 4 days; veal and pork will keep for 2 to 3 days, but poultry only stays fresh for 1 or 2 days. Take care when it comes to minced meats – if possible, you should eat these on the day you buy them. Always defrost frozen meat in the fridge and remember that this can produce defrost water.

Fish

The best way to store fish

Fish is even more perishable than meat. As a result, it’s best to eat fish straight after you buy it. If you buy fresh fish from the fish counter, don’t leave it in its packaging: store it in a glass or porcelain container, cover it with cling film and ice, and store it in the fridge for 1 day at most.

Store pre-packaged fish from the deep-frozen section in your freezer and keep an eye on the best-before date! The smoking process helps smoked fish stay fresh for longer. You can keep this in your fridge, covered in cling film, for up to around 3 days. Always defrost frozen fish in the fridge and remember that this can produce defrost water.

Little hint: You don’t need to throw away food past its best-before date

Most food has a best-before date (BBD) on its packaging. However, food doesn’t automatically go bad just because this date has passed. This is the date until which the manufacturer guarantees typical product characteristics, such as taste, aroma, consistency and colour.
It’s important to distinguish between the best-before date and the use-by date for perishable foods such as raw fish, mince and fresh poultry. You should not eat products after their use-by date and should throw them away instead.
Take a look, have a taste, smell food for yourself: trust your senses! It’s often easy to tell whether food is still good enough to eat once its BBD has passed.

Wist je dit?

Niemand gooit opzettelijk een derde weg van het voedsel dat hij koopt. Toch blijkt uit de cijfers dat dit precies de hoeveelheid voedsel is die ongebruikt in de prullenbak terechtkomt. Volgens schattingen van de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie (WHO) komt dit neer op wereldwijd 1,3 miljard ton weggegooid voedsel per jaar. Dat is een ongelooflijke verspilling van voedsel als je bedenkt dat 690 miljoen mensen ter wereld honger lijden.
