Should I use lid to cover stuff in fridge?

Question

Hi,
It just struck me that when I keep a stuff in fridge, say cooked food, to avoid it getting bad outside, should I cover the tiffin with it's tight lid? I mean, I hope that covering it with a tight lid does n't hasten the process of food going bad inside fridge, or does the cover have no effect whatsoever..?

Thanks

Answer 1

Yes- you should cover your food for two reasons:
1- you keep the flavor in the food and it helps to prevent it from drying out
2- you'll save on your electric bill....uncovered foods and liquids release moisture and make your fride work harder

Answer 2

stuff should be covered to avoid it smelly and tasting like other stuff in the fridge but probably doesn't hasten it going bad

Answer 3

covering htings keeps them from drying out. If you can't find a cover, try tin foil or saran wrap. Covering things protects them and does make them keep a little longer.
good luck

Answer 4

no ur supposed to cover it. it keeps the freshness in.
