You cannot store food that likes high humidity in a drawer with food that prefers a dry atmosphere. However, you can store several types of food from the same humidity/dry group at the same time. ^ The food can now be placed in the MasterFresh drawer. A humidity filter above each MasterFresh drawer helps to regulate the humidity in the drawers. The[...]

Can all types of food be stored together? Do not place all types of food together in one drawer. Some types of food do not store well together. Aromas and flavours can transfer from one type of food to another (e.g. carrots absorb the smell and flavour of onions very easily). Some food also gives off a natural gas (ethylene) which speeds up the rat[...]

The following tips may help if you find that food you have stored does not keep well (e.g. food becomes limp or wilts after only being stored for a short time): ^ Only use the appliance for storing fresh food.
