Also store cooked foods on higher shelves. But don't put hot food in the refrigerator, as it will cause the inside temperature to rise.

Remember that mayonnaise, mustard and tomato sauce should go into the fridge after opening.

Also never place food in an open tin in the fridge – the metal is more likely to react with the food once it's open. Use airtight containers instead and throw the food out if you haven't used it in two or three days.

And remember that eggs should be kept in this part of the fridge.

Storage guidelines:

Product	Refrigerator, unopened	Refrigerator, opened
Casseroles, homemade	---	3-4 days
Soups and stews	---	3-4 days
Fresh eggs	3-5 weeks	---

Also make sure you know how to deal with leftovers.
