Latest guides.
All guides- Stopping cut fruit from browningSliced apple goes brown because air reaches the flesh. A few minutes in water with lemon juice slows it, but the fruit still belongs in the fridge.
- Boiling and peeling eggsAn egg that has sat in the fridge for a week peels more cleanly than a new one, and a cold bath after cooking helps. Timings, peeling and keeping.
- Wasting less food at homeHouseholds throw away most of the world's wasted food. Planning, using older food first and finding a use for leftovers are the habits FAO and UNEP point to.
- Organising the fridge so food stays safeKeep the fridge below 5 degrees C, put raw food in containers on the bottom shelf, and leave room for air to move. Advice from WHO and a US extension service.
